Our last Cape weekend

Mary had yet another fun weekend on the Cape.

Giving Jack a hug.

Who needs dumbbells when you have chubby babies

The Ingimundarsons vs. the McKinleys.

Jack was doing a little reading after lunch.

Enjoying some drinks with extended family.

Meeting baby Austin

Mary and I went to meet my friend Meryl's new son Austin.

Austin was tuckered out after an intense session in the floor gym.

He was up for a trip to the play ground later.

Mary and I took a game of tic-tac-toe.

She is eager to do things herself, like putting on clothes.

Close, but no cigar.

Mary was eager to get some work done while Pabbi was up from his desk.

Cape Cod with some Icelanders

Mary got to show some Icelandic cousins around Cape Cod this weekend.

Sandy hands.

Anna Maria found the ocean sounds very soothing.

Leading the way into the surf at Nauset. Let's hope Mary doesn't get mistaken for a baby seal.

"Come on Pabbi, there's lots of shopping to do."

Anna Maria didn't want to miss all the fun at the restaurant.

Mary was worried someone might steal her bread so she was holding it at all times.

Checking out her new fork (it's really more of a spork).

Oooops.

Playing around

Mary has been using her hands to express herself a lot recently and it's super cute.

Looking at the books she just threw on the floor.

"I don't know how my books got on the floor, Mama."

Making sure Mama didn't miss anything in the laundry bag.

Kissing her froggy.

Strolling around with the monkey.

Cruising

Mary loves to ride the Mary Mobile around the apartment, but there is one problem: she can only go backwards. Luckily she doesn't see a problem with this.

Mary is very focused when driving.

I think this would be safer if she had a rear view mirror.

Checking out her new book about trucks.

Taking a break to dance.

Mary is always camera-ready.

Hanging with Jack

Mary got some quality time with Jack today and they had a blast together.

Banging on the drums.

So close, yet so far.

"Sharing" the phone. Mary wanted whatever toy Jack had, without fail.

Jack enjoying his french fries.

Mary mooching french fries off of Jack.

Too cool for school

Mary has decided she's the kind of person who needs to wear sunglasses inside. Too much paparazzi, I guess.

Are you done yet, Mama?

Trying to get some work done even though she probably can't see a thing.

And then some boogying.

Mixing some sort of drink. Hopefully it's a yummy cocktail.

Pigtails

We continue to try different ways to style Mary's hair so it's out of her eyes, but she manages to pull out any barrettes or elastics we use.

Pigtails!

This didn't solve the hair-in-the-eyes problem, but it was still adorable.

Mary waited until I got a few pictures before pulling them out.

Talking while crawling takes some balancing skills.

Ahoy, Mary

Mary got to ride on a boat for the first time this weekend.

Sitting with Captain/Uncle Willie. Mary wasn't very comfortable in the life vest -- it was a little intense.

She was happier when she could walk around.

Jack's turn to steer.

Mary's favorite car.

Making some important calls.

Sharing her drink with Pop at the restaurant.

Jack had a musical card that played the Peanuts theme song to keep him busy.

Mary liked to boogie to the music.

Mary took her first steps this weekend and is getting closer to walking on her own. Now she just needs to stand up!
