Maya & Multiple Dogs & Misc.

Earlier this week Dave had an oral argument in State College.  He went up the night before so Maya and I headed to "G.B.'s" (Grandmom's) for a sleepover!  This of course meant that the dogs had to come along.  My mom has two dogs herself so there were 4 dogs running around in the house.  Maya loved it. I snapped some pictures of her with the pooches!

"Form a line please!'

"Everybody sit- Good dogs!"

Dave, being the great hubby that he is, brought me home my favorite sandwich and smoothie from State College!  It's the small things- ya know!?

Yup- I was so excited I took a picture of my smoothie!

Today a friend and her daughter came over for a play date.  Our girls are a month apart so they're perfect playmates.  We were laughing at them because although they don't really play together, they follow each other around and play with the same thing- a perfect example of parallel play.  They would even grab the same toy back and forth from each other, and neither of them seemed to mind.

Isn't Maya tall?! Maya's about a month older.  I love her friend's workout outfit!

Maya Outside with Bubbles

We've experienced spring like weather already!  We've been meeting friends out at parks and going for walks.  Today we walked to a park in the borough and met a friend and former colleague of mine and her two kids.  When we came home we walked the pugs and then went outside to play with bubbles!  Here's the best pics I could get.  It's hard to blow bubbles and take pictures!

P.S.  How cute are these "Babylegs" leggings?!

"Wow- check them out!"

"Where did they go?"

"Maybe I could blow some bubbles myself next time?"

Maya- 11 Months Old

Maya is 11 months old!  It's hard to believe that in a month she'll be a year old.

This month she has been crawling and traveling along the furniture like crazy.  She's surely a girl in motion.  We really cherish our cuddle time now, as she usually wants to be out and about exploring!  She now has 6 teeth.  She's also been a napping champ the past few months!  This month we started going to story time at our local library.  She seemed to enjoy it the first time, but seemed annoyed when other babies were not listening to the story (she LOVES books and will listen to them seemingly forever).  When the teacher asked "Where's my dogs Wags?" (a dog puppet), Maya pointed right to it (alright, she does just go around pointing so there is a chance she just got lucky)!  The 2nd time, she seemed scared of an older boy and wouldn't leave the safe confines of Mommy's lap.  Hopefully the 3rd time will be better!

Today the weather was beautiful!  We went to the park with 2 of my (Amy's) friends and their little girls!  I think the girls had fun- at least the moms did!

Here's Maya playing at the park with her identical twin friends! Her other friend was wrapped up in the Moby Wrap!

"I LOVE when my Daddy puts me up on his shoulders!"

"Check out my new pug shirt!"

"Mom, I'm too busy for you to take pictures of my first day in pigtails!"

Maya the Bumblebee

Today Maya wore a cute outfit that was a gift from a friend and former colleague of Dave's.  Thanks Janelle! :-)

She looked so cute! Side note- it's awfully hard to get pigtails styled on a constantly moving baby- but I did my best!

Pardon the blurry image (and the messy mouth- she stores food in her mouth like a chipmunk)- she won't sit still for long!

"Even this bat matches my outfit!"

"Come on Mom, I'm ready for our walk!"
