Over and out

Pabbi let Mary try on his Xbox headset and she was a natural.

Her hair is getting so long! Nothing a barrette can't fix.

Uh oh, some distressing news?

Must...press...buttons.

Watching Pabbi for tips.

Our little watermelon

Mary is already making use of some of the clothing she got for her birthday.

Mama's Droid is captivating.


I just missed Mary brushing her hair with the lint brush. A brush is a brush, I guess.


The balloon never gets old.


That's what Pabbi gets for trying to exercise with Mary around.


Inspecting her big girl table and chairs.

Is that what I think it is?

Pacifier...yum!

Birthday girl!

Mary turned 1 today! She had her 1 year check up and measured 30 inches long (80th percentile) and 23 pounds 15 ounces (90th percentile).

Mary and Jack mingling before the present opening.

Quite a spread.

Mary's first doll!

Am I really allowed to eat this?

Mary liked the frosting but had little interest in the cake.

Giving her baby the bottle. Gentle would not be a good word to describe Mary's method.

Taking a little for herself.

Spoon-feeding the baby.

Playing "pick up the coaster" with Auntie Anna. It's one of Mary's favorite games.

Taking the Mary mobile for a spin around the apartment. I think she's trying to to find first gear.

As soon as the camera comes out Mary goes in for her close-up.

Make way for Mary

Mary took her first ride on the ducklings in the Public Garden the other day.

She was not impressed at first.

Then she started to warm up to the idea.

Finally she realized how much fun it was!

Mary loves cheese. A girl after my own heart!

Cheese!!

Mary will lose interest in that end of the spoon once she realizes it can't hold food.

A new playmate

We had a guest yesterday, a 22 month-old named David, who Mary was very interested in.

Mary was a tad jealous during David's snack time.

David was gentle with Mary, but she did not return the favor. We must work on that!

She followed David where ever he went.

Trying to join the adults during dinner.

Bed time for both :).

Happy Mother's Day!

Mary has been a very good girl today and Bjossi let me sleep in this morning. Here are a few pictures from the past week.

Rolling around on the floor.

Mary will enjoy the shovel even more when she has some sand to move around.

Large chunks of avocado in Mary's hair.

Having a refreshing beverage.

Finishing up her peas like a good girl.

Mary is a big fan of the vacuum cleaner.

Trying to have a conversation with it.

Fun-filled weekend!

We got a visit from Anna and Einar this weekend and Mary was most pleased.

Yogurt face.

A new expression of Mary's. She looks angry but she isn't really.

Not even trying to hide her pilfering ways.

You know that's my hat, right?

Rolling around.

Relaxing on Einar.

Her first music box!

Learning all about her feet.

Swings never get old.

Pabbi was too big for the infant swing so he had to be creative.

Auntie Anna's biggest fan.
