new baby boy friends

Seems like we have a lot of new baby boy friends this year. Almost everyone I know who's had a child in the last months- or will in the coming months, is having a boy (although Matt & Heather dont know the gender of their soon-arrival....if they are along with the trend- my bet is boy!) I've recently been able to visit a couple of them.

Here I am with little Taj (just 1 day old!)

And this past week Sarah and I met up to go visit little Wyatt in Eugene, OR (thanks for all the help everyone with Maya while I was gone!)

Maya is talking about starting school soon (this next week!) and we've been trying to play with a couple kids who will be in her class- hopefully they will be a nice familiar faces for those first days. I'm pretty sure she's gonna love it- just hard to believe she's starting preschool (3 days/wk) Here she is playing at (new friend) Evan's house - with (new pal) Olivia. She loves the trampoline they have- as you can imagine (check out her hair! and the skirt she has worn every day for 8 days straight!) :

2.5 years old. Yowza! At the end of August we head to our preschool new-family-breakfast and orientation....and then she will start Sept 2nd (3 days a week!) It's creeping right up on us. Its so hard to believe. It'll be a big transition for us but we think she will have a great time and really thrive.
She is VERY into her drums right now and her love for Fresh Beat Band is quite something. She's into playing her musical instruments, and her new ice cream and cookie/baking toys. As always, she is loving Little Gym and our regular visits to the zoo etc.
TlovesT is visiting which is always a good time. Maya is so excited to see them and play. Here are some recent photos:
