Shore 2012

I'm finally getting around to posting some pictures from our trip to the shore.  We went with "G.B." Aunt Eleni, Uncle Rich, Gianna, Baby Alex for a week to the shore.  The house we rented was newly renovated with a fenced in yard that backed a children's park.

I would like to say that Maya loved the beach, but I'd be lying.  Unfortunately, Maya (and I) both had colds.  Maya also was getting 2 molars and the teething and mucous from the cold lead to diarrhea which also led to a diaper rash.  Therefore, Maya wasn't in a great mood and basically just fussed on the beach.  Thank goodness the house had a nice deck that I could lounge on while Maya took her extra long naps.  She napped from 1:00-5:00 almost everyday.

We did go to the local zoo and she loved seeing the giraffes!  She likes them in her books and had never seen one in real life!

Cousins on the 4th of July!

This was how Maya was seen most of the week.  Gripping "Dolly," sucking her thumb, and walking around in circles!

Messy Eater Part 2

I really think Maya could win a contest for messy eating. This is the result of a lunch comprised of a tuna fish melt, zucchini bites, string beans with ranch dressing, & grapes.

Children's Museum

Tonight we went to a nearby children's museum which opened its doors from 5:00-7:00 with a super discounted $2 admission. My neighbor told me about this and Maya and I had to go check it out!

She was a bit young for many of the exhibits, which I expected; but, she still enjoyed toddling around!








In this picture she's in a train car with her friend/neighbor.

Maya the Messy Eater

Maya is by no means a neat eater. Especially when she decides to play " Peek a Boo" while eating when her hands are covered in food.



Or when she decides that the ranch dressing for her carrots tastes mighty fine on its own!

Family Visits

At the end of June Dave's parents came up for a visit, sadly, due to a death in the family.  Despite the sad circumstances, I think they enjoyed seeing all of their grandkids!  Maya was spoiled with gifts and lots of attention!

Here are some pictures from their visit.

Pool

Here's Maya enjoying the pool. It took her a bit to warm up to it but she was laughing in it by the end!
