Shout out



Maya has been on two round trip flights and they have both been to Seattle. We love it there but more than Seattle itself, we love the Heitman family. Maya and I went to visit Sarah and her amazing daughter Parker last week. We had a really nice time and a very smooth and easy trip (serious thanks to Sarah- she makes it easy to visit and the fact that they have all the needed baby items made my traveling super light.) The girls were interested in one another and very sweet together and Sarah and I even got a couple nights out on our own, which was great! Above are a few shots from the visit; the girls in the double trailer, bath time and Parker showing us what a good gymnast she is!

Another shout out goes to our friends Karen and Bryan who just had little Brooke Ashlyn on Aug 10th. We're super happy for them and are excited to add little Brooke to the group! Much love to you guys. XO

Playing ball...

Maya- our little ball player!



Along with new games like "catch," Maya is working on clapping, signing 'more' and is honing her traveling skills- we just returned from Seattle! More on that soon.....

Maya is 7 months old!







We just had a really nice visit this week with my parents. It's always so nice to see them and it's so good for Maya to have sweet time with them, too. Thanks for the fun visit, Oma and Gramps!

Maya is babbling tons, giggling lots, so so curious about everything, eating so well and is even into sipping through a straw. She loves reading stories with us (and turning the pages herself) and she is moving all the time. Seriously- she does not sit still and is working hard at getting around on the ground (no crawling yet but lots of rolling and scooting.) In general, she is doing a good job with sleeping (so proud of her sleep turn-around) and I'm excited for the two of us to head to Seattle next week to visit Sarah and Parker (happy 1st bday!)

*For some reason, I'm unable to format the page here so that I can add pictures in the middle of my posts....so, for now, you just see a bunch at the top of the page. I'm working on it. Till I get it though (anyone have some advice?)- pics at the top of the page; Maya & Romi, fun with Oma & Gramps, Maya with pals Ethan and Elise (in strollers) and hanging on the couch with little friends last weekend.....
