Pizza

Well, not pizza exactly, but Mary had a taste of some pizza crust.

Is this someone's leftovers?


Oh well, it's food.

Munch!

Mama kisses, eeewwww!

Chit chat

Mary had a long conversation with her sippy cup this evening. Here is a clip.

9 Months

Mary turned 9 months old on February 17 and she had her check up yesterday. She is 28.5" (80th percentile) and 21 lbs. 3 oz. (85th percentile). She is still quite big for her age, but she's no longer "off the charts."

Kitchen items are now a staple of Mary's toy collection.

Munch!

Enjoying the bead maze on loan from Nana and Pop

Mary's serious side.

Little Miss Smiley.

Hanging out

Here are some recent play time pictures.

Mary gets so excited when she sees the camera.

Now what?

Back to business.

If Mary is anything like her parents this flexibility won't last.

Did someone say camera?

How big is Mary?

Here is a video of Mary playing along with Pabbi as he asks her how big she is (in Icelandic).

Play time

Here are a few pictures of Mary playing.

Who wants to crawl on a play mat when you can crawl in it?

Pabbi's guitar is always a hit with Mary.

He has his own groupie.

This toy looks a lot bigger next to Mary than it did in the box.

Happy Valentine's Day

Mary and her cousin Jack had a fun Valentine's Day together.

Mary's signature pose.

Must...grab...face.

What? It's just his ear.

Something exciting?

Jack is a tough little guy if he can survive Mary's poking and grabbing.

Valentine's Day card

Mary received her first Valentine's Day card today. Below is a play-by-play of her first look at it.

A few randoms

Helping Mama cook.

Mary's version of the taste test.

Mary loves the parachute in music class.

Rolling the ball back and forth with Evy...

...or grabbing. Whatever.

Another play group

Mary is a busy little lady with all her play dates.

Just a little backlighting.

Yummmm, fingers.

What, is that not cool?

Mary is always ready for her close-up.

Mary's first hair cut

We decided Mary's hair was getting a bit shaggy so we took a shot a trimming it. It didn't go perfectly, but at least it was a learning experience:).

Mary was her usual squirmy self so we tried to calm her with toys and a pacifier.

Pleading with Pabbi to save her from the woman with the scissors.

Mary finally accepted her fate.
