maya's baby dedication

sing-along with Mak - nursery rhyme edition

Makayla has been in love with nursery rhymes lately. At any given time of the day, you can catch her reciting, watching, singing, dancing to (with or without music), or acting out a nursery rhyme...yes, I was assigned to be Humpty Dumpty once and was instructed to fall off the bed. I had to veto her idea of making Maya next so we used Elmo instead. Sometimes she switches melodies or words and make up her own song/rhyme.

For bedtime stories, guess what we've been reading every day? "Mother Goose", "My First Mother Goose Book" and what ever other nursery rhyme book we have. Yup, never gets old! One night we decided to record our readings for the night. Enjoy! (more to come)

happy six months, maya!

imagine children's museum

We had a great time celebrating our friend, Jubiliee's 5th birthday and playing at the Imagine Children's Museum. There were lots of really cool stuff everywhere...much newer and cleaner than the Seattle Children's Museum. The only drawback is it's bit far (Everett)...but we're definitely going to go back to again! Three hours of playing later, Mak said, "I had so much fun!"

ready for Halloween 2013

Got this costume for $3.95 at Old Navy after Halloween. Thought Makayla would like it but she refused to try it on. Guess we know what Maya will be next year!

Mak, "wow I'm so pretty!"

more painting fun!

This is a special request from Mak to draw the song "Jesus Loves the Little Children". I'm sure I didn't do Jesus justice but I hope he'll understand.

christmas artwork

Introduced Mak to painting last weekend and here are our first creations.

happy 24 weeks, maya!

Maya (24 weeks) is getting really good at sitting on her own!

homemade playdoh

Mak loves playing playdoh so we tried making some at home. Overall, it was pretty successful except for the excessive oil (should have used 2/3 as much oil than what the recipe asks for). Oh well, added more flour and now we have enough playdoh to last for a whole year! Check out Mak's favorite things to make - pizza and sandwich/burgers!

Maya had a good time watching all the playdoh action!

happy 21 weeks, maya!

 

Time flies! Can't believe Maya is almost 5 months old! She is a super happy baby, smiling at everyone she sees. Lately she's been able to sit up by herself (for a little while before she topples down on her side or plunges flat on her face...work in progress...
