Playing with Jack

Mary and Jack got to hang out in Wellesley the other day.

Mary's idea of sharing is forcing unwanted items onto others. Jack is wise to Mary's ways.

Swinging on the hammock. Jack is patiently waiting for his turn.

Mary was doing her best to fill Nana's stroller with grass.

Doing a little filing. At least we let her dress casually.

Giving us a peek at her teeth. She has six now!

Cutting out the middle man.

Ladies' night

Mary got to hang out with the ladies last night for a late first birthday celebration.

Enjoying some pasta and sauce before the ladies arrive.

Reading with Shauna.

Meg wants Mary to kiss the polar bear, but Mary is unwilling to stop her card munching.

The kiss finally came, though.

Hanging with her new stuffed animals, and of course playing with the ribbon.

Mary-proofing

Mary-proofing the apartment is an ongoing process -- she finds something new and dangerous every day.

Surveying the bookcase before we disassemble it.

Those pjs are slimming.

Helping Pabbi play the guitar.

Sitting back and enjoying the show.

Cape Cod and Father's Day

Mary got some quality time with her extended family this weekend.

Splashing around with Jack.

The grass is always greener.

Cruising around the pool.


A pre-Father's Day picture with Pabbi.

Telling Pop all about the dog.

Helping Nana make dinner.

Bjossi helped Jack practice his kicking.

Then it was Mary's turn.

Soccer mania

Mary has enjoyed playing with her World Cup paraphernalia.

She's a bit possessive of her ball.

The paparazzi.

Caught with her hand in the cracker box.

Playing with Jack

Cousin Jack invited Mary over for a play date today.

Pop had to play mediator since the table wasn't quite big enough for both of them.

Hmmm, Jack's book looks like more fun.

Playing at the water table.

Aqua-munchkins.

Mary loves almost anything involving water!

More family fun

Uncle Sveinn is visiting and Mary is happy to have another person to play with.

Making herself comfortable on Sveinn.

Trying on Mama's headband.

Offering to share her soccer ball.

Practicing her dribbling.

World Cup

Anna and Einar visited this weekend and there was a lot of soccer on the agenda.

Supporting Pabbi's favorite team: Germany.

Keeping Einar company during brunch.

Cruising around on the Mary Mobile.

Sharing the pacifier with Einar.

This can't end well.

Dancing for Amma and Afi over Gmail chat.

Smooches!

Getting sleepy.

Trying to escape in Anna and Einar's luggage.

Happy Birthday Pabbi!

Mary was very excited to help Pabbi celebrate his birthday this morning.

OK, maybe the ribbons were the most exciting part.

Pabbi's going to share his Nook, right?

Mary read the card over and over. She must have been impressed.

Dance fever

Mary is all about dancing these days. She'll even start boogying when Pabbi or I sing catchy tunes like "The wheels on the bus" and "Old MacDonald." In this video Mary is dancing while driving.

Big gulp

Mary is becoming such a big girl that she's started using a bigger cup -- the big gulp of sippy cups.

It even has a straw!

Here's a more pensive pose. This girl is versatile!

Retrieving a lost toy.

She's chomping at the bit these days.

Mary is pulling up to stand, but I don't think she knows what to do next :).
