new video - picture montage

the park

pictures from our trip to the park yesterday afternoon:

She then proceeded to eat this flower. Yuck.

not from the park - but still from yesterday:

that's what her hair looks like post-pigtails. Very Einstein, don't you think?

This may be my favorite photo of her ever. It's at least in the top five.

new videos

Here are several videos we've taken the past couple days. I know the quality isn't great (pixelated) - but that's blogger's fault, not ours (they look pristine before uploaded.) Enjoy!

I know you can't really see anything in this next video, because it was so dark in her room when I took it - but you can hear her talking and singing to her frog and to her spatula, which is pretty much the best part anyways.

Easter: swimming and bunny-ing

This past weekend, we returned to the coast, accompanied by Jenn's sister, Karen, and her family. A spectacular time was had despite the horrendous weather, and Maeby even got to go swimming, in a full-on pool, for the first time.

That was her facial expression for the majority of the experience.

Her little froggy legs did quite a bit of kicking.

Oh, and there's the famous froggy tongue.

On Easter morning, Maeby awoke to find a basket at our bed-side (we were in a motel): she was very excited by the purple bunny contained therein.

This is her new favorite toy.

Life is good when you get to sleep in bed with Mama and Papa all night, and then wake up to new toys and lots of attention from cousins.

She loves books. So chewy . . .

Finally - here is some video of Maeby in the pool, including her first dunk.

Oh, how she loves to swim. I kept trying to capture how crazy she was kicking those legs, but every time I'd pan down she'd stop. Enjoy the video (head to Flickr to see it full-screen)

Family Vacation to Depoe Bay!

I know its been a while. We've been super busy having tons of fun.

Last weekend we went out to Depoe Bay with Jeremy's Brother, Chris, & his family. We stayed in a beach house and had TONS of fun.

Here are some highlights of Maeby's adventures on the coast last weekedn!!!

We went to the Newport Aquarium:

Most of the time we played in the sand and just enjoyed the amazingly awesome weather!!!

Her cousin Alec & I burried her legs in the sand.

I think her favorite thing was chewing on her sand rake.

Or maybe it was just chewing on the sand itself.....

Or not.....

She kept busy though

No matter how much sand got up her nose!

She loved the feeling of the water on her toes!

(for fairly obvious reasons we did not post pictures of Jeremy or I on the beach because no one wants to see that)

After a long day of hard play Maeby and cousin Haliegh conked out in the pack and play on the beach - shaded by some towels.

We had an awesome time together!!!
