To Crawl or Not to Crawl?












So for all of Pea's athletic genes...still no crawling. If it were up to Maya she would sit or be held ONLY...tummy time has never been her favorite time, but she "handles" it a little better now. She can scoot herself backwards all over the house, but no forward motion. I am guessing that I should rejoice in the moments I have left where I can leave Maya sitting on the floor and not worry about her climbing the walls.

So happy!

Mini Update

I have to apologize for the complete lack of posting. Our laptop is on the fritz and works about every other time you turn it on for about 5 minutes or so...really convenient. I promise that I will try to get some pictures loaded at work tomorrow.

Maya is growing everyday. She has 4 teeth and two new tricks...waving bye-by, and clapping. She has been clapping for about a month, but now she will clap at the right moments. She also is going through a little bit of mommy separation anxiety and is learning about strangers (which in my completely OCD I've seen to much in my line of work mind is a good thing). I am totally okay with her being a little leery of strangers, we will see how long it lasts.

I hope all of you mommas out there had a great day yesterday!

Loves! Molly

Happy Easter!







It's been a long time!




I love this picture! She likes to wiggle herself into the pillows, get stuck, and then laugh.



Wow, it has been one for the record books! I don't have time to give a full recap (I'll save that for later) so I will give everyone the 2 minute version.
5 major events at work in 3 weeks that included a 4 day, 3 night camp out with 55 youth...and Maya
2 Middle School girls that stayed with us for 3 weeks...yes, the same three weeks
1 Wonderful little girl who is learning all about eating "real" food, clapping, super chatty, and still has no desire to crawl...and why would she when she has the two of us totally wrapped around her finger and willing to carry her everywhere she wants to go.
Maya is so fun right now, her little personality is starting to shine through...a true blend of Ty and I, content to spend time alone (me), a bit of a thrill seeker (ty), lots of facial expressions (ty), and always studying the world around her (me).

We have also been taking in as many soccer games as we can. Both Josh and Lily started playing soccer this season, and baseball/softball starts this week.
