Maya's little pool

This weekend I went out of town for a wedding and Maya stayed home with Mark. They had a lot of fun! Mark took her out for ice cream, bought this little pool and even styled her hair! I missed them both a lot, but I'm glad they had awesome daddy/daughter time!

She has also been adding to her vocabulary quite a bit lately. She can now say: hi, hat, hot, duck, truck, eye, "I", no (nay nay), Mom, Da, Nana, dog, toe...and maybe a few more that I have yet to decipher. She can also do some sign language! It is blowing my mind to see how much she absorbs new experiences and how many new things she is learning each day!

If anyone is interested in a pool party, we've got the sippies and the duckies!

Summertime

Here is Maya by a coffee shop in Spearfish, SD. Maya and I went on a roadtrip with my dad and my nephew Jack to Iowa. We visited my grandparents and family there.

Maya did so awesome in the car! I was way impressed! She loved having Jack in the car on the way out. If you see Jack, make sure to ask him about being pulled over by the policeman :)

Erin came and picked Jack up in Iowa to take him back to Minneapolis, so the trip back wasn't quite as exciting for Maya. Still, she had fun eating at Culver's and visiting parks in South Dakota. She also found a new love for large trucks!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful summer!
