Girl time

 

Someone loves banana.

 

Sonja couldn't carry the toy basket any further so she decided to stay where she was.

 

Rosie rocks her skinny cords.

 

All the girls were gathered around Rosie's toy.

 

"Tasting" Mama's juice.

TIme for a trim

Rosie loves standing these days. She isn't very steady, but at least she doesn't have far to fall. 

 

Mary got a lollipop from the hairdresser who cut her bangs.

 

"Mama, do you want this picture?" Mary though it was especially fun to put the lollipop against her nose. 

Jean and Nancy visit!

 

On the way into the Blue Lagoon.

 

As usual, Mary wanted to be first.

 

A post-swim photo op.

 

Skyping with Grandpop and Uncle John.

 

A little rain didn't keep Mary from playing outside at Jon's birthday party.

 

Mary was a little damp for the rest of the party.

 

Reading the letter Jean and Nancy left just for her.

Rosie's turn on the swing at school. Mary's picture taking skills are coming along nicely.

Weekend fun

 

It's Rosie's turn to use the baby car.

 

I also dug up the infant Red Sox hat. We have every size thanks to Meg B. :-)

 

Loving taking a bath in the laundry basket, rather than the infant tub.

 

She spent at least 10 minutes happily untying Pabbi's slippers.

 

There was complimentary face painting at Bauhaus today. Jackpot! 

Oh yeah, I didn't have any barrettes on me so I had to give Mary a "fountain" so her bangs wouldn't be in the way.

 

Hello Kitty!

School birthday celebration

 

Making the cake with her friends.

 

Heaven forbid any cake batter go to waste.

Celebrating the birthday girl.

Driving around

 

Driving the go-cart at school. 

 

 Banana face.

 

"Writing" thank you notes for her birthday presents.

 

Mary loves listening to music on my ipod and singing along. 

Monday holiday

 

Oceanside bike ride. We didn't last long because it was windy.

 

Scaling a hill along the way.

 

"Mama, should I change this sand pile?"

 

:-)

 

Teaching Rosie the ropes of the toy car at the grocery store.
