Teething Biscuits

They're delicious- but very messy.  I missed of photo op of her getting it on the bottom of my toe while we were enjoying biscuit number 2 outside.

Almost as delicious as mommy or daddy's finger...

Sometimes you need to hold a spoon for balance.

A Little Soft Shoe Number

Maura loves to play in what we call her "time machine".  (Thanks Graham for sending it our way!)  One of her favorite parts is playing music, specifically the William Tell Overture, and dancing along.  Here I've caught her practicing her latest tap routine.

What generally happens is once she starts the William Tell music, she turns to Jason or me with an expectant smile and waits for us to start singing and dancing along.  She may have a future as DJ Jazzy M.

My Dad is the Funniest Dad

I like to think of myself as a funny person, but around our house I play second fiddle to the most amazing comedian- Daddy.  Some days he doesn't need to do much more than walk into the room and Maura becomes hysterical.

Mother's Day

We had a great mother's day with my first crafty gift from Maura.  It was a great day spent playing around the house and picnicking in the front yard with my favorite people.

Foot print frame.  I love this frightening face she's making.  Classic.

Chewing on bottle caps takes a lot of concentration.

Eskimo Kisses with Daddy

Jason has given Maura eskimo kisses from day one.  On this day she decided to start giving them back.  Cue Mommy's heart melting.

Poker Face

Maura has been working very hard on her Ma-ma-ma-ma sounds as of late.  She was chattering away last night and as we tried to capture it on film, she become more interested in the camera itself than simply saying what was on her mind.  

That Tastes Delicious!

Maura had her first taste of cereal tonight.  She's been diving at our food for a while now and when she seemed less than enthusiastic to nurse tonight we decided to try cereal instead.  She is a big fan.

She might be more excited about the spoon than the actual food.

Checking out Daddy and slurping down cereal - such a multi-tasker.
