Strolling around

We tried taking Mary's little stroller out for a walk today. It didn't work out exactly as planned -- Mama ended up carrying the stroller a bit -- but Mary had fun.

Mary's first speed bump was a small one.

We made it to the Greenway!

Strolling into the sunset.

And then somehow Mary made her way into the bushes and I had to drag her out.

Weekend fun

Here are some pictures from the weekend!

Mary found the Christmas card collection and was immediately drawn to the one from Anna & Einar, or as she calls them "AnnaEini!"

"Ey-ye!" (also pronounced Evy)

Waiting patiently for the pancakes to finish. It helped that she had a bowl of strawberries to keep her happy.

Mary devoured two whole pancakes. Luckily they were only silver dollar-sized.

Strutting around in Mama's shoes.

Taking a ride down the slide. It was chilly but Mary didn't complain.

She hates litter bugs.

Helping Pabbi do some bench presses.

Mary and Anna Maria fooling around.

The girls loved building the tower together! They both thought putting the cow on top was hilarious.

Jack + Mary = Fun

Mary's been going through some jack withdrawal since we got back from vacation so we arranged for a play date.

J is for Jack!

Cruising around.

Time for a water break.

Making beautiful music.

Wrestling! Neither got hurt and they both had a blast.

St. John

We just got back from a fabulous vacation in St. John and I got some great pictures!

Mary was showing off her new Little Mermaid shades.

Dipping her toes.

Family photo at Caneel bay.

At Trunk Bay. Sand + beach toys = fun!

Floating around the pool with Pabbi.

Jack had to be contained by Matt and Kevin.

Beach toys!

Some letter fun with Pabbi.

Jack needed a break from all the fun.

Snack time.

Jack really liked smooshing his face into the ball.

Noodle time.

Reading with Nana.

Mary wanted a turn wearing the flippers.

Mary likes to be escorted places.

Taking a dip in the ocean at Cinnamon Bay.

Some alfresco dining.

Jack was enjoying the view.

Mary and Jack opted to sit almost on top of each other instead of spreading out on the couch.

Ergo!

We finally bought an Ergo carrier ... better late than never!

Very excited to ride the Pabbi horse.

Then it was Mary's turn to try it on.

What happens when she puts on her own hat.

Mary was convinced she could wear her doll's shoes.

Trying out the rocking chair at our play date this morning.

Evy was eager to get in on the fun.

Fashionista

Mary really enjoyed checking out all of my birthday gifts.

Trying on the bracelet.

There's no such thing as too many accessories. Mary was also giving her new sneaks a spin. Don't mind the tag.

"Mama's new shoes? Don't mind if I do."

"Shoes!"

Mary didn't want to take them off, even to read.

Visiting Jack

Mary and I visited Jack this morning.

"Cookie monster!"

Boogying to the stick song.

Being silly.

Jack was quick to learn how the dolly works.

Jack looked a little parched.

Huggy time.

Blowing on the hot dog because it was "aht."
