for uncle kyle

Before maya was even born Uncle Kyle bought her this sweet opposable wooden bear named Ursula.
We were scolded the other day when he visited asking us if Maya ever plays with Ursula.
Well...she does now! Just shy of 7 months and she LOVES her Ursula!

other things we are loving this week:
sweet afternoon naps

trips to the park


not bad for a no make-up day. the guy running the carousel asked if we wanted a picture and I couldn't turn down the opportunity even though I was au naturale!

the big girl bathtub

Sadly I am so.far.behind again. In the past few months we have had visitors here, we have been back to Iowa twice (once for my beloved Grandpa Tweeten's funeral) and in the midst Maya has already turned 9 months old. I am back to editing/posting from her 6 months folder. I have contemplated just skipping forward to the present, but then I look at all of these sweet pictures and I can't help but want to post them all. I want to at some point print the blog into a book and would be sad if I didn't have her 6, 7 and 8 month pictures posted. So, here is to some much needed catching up!

At 6 1/2 months we traded the baby bathtub for the big girl bathtub!
