Ocean City 2013

A week and a half ago, we got to take Maya on her first family beach vacation to Ocean City. We all had a great time! Maya really enjoyed playing in the water and the sand (and didn't even eat too much of it!) and had a lot of fun playing with all of her cousins too! I'm sure that she is only going to love it more and more as she gets older. It was definitely nice to spend a few days with family and away from work!

Here are two little videos we took at the beach as well:

Almost 1!

We are approaching the one year mark! Maya turned 11 months old this week, and it's been a busy month! She has continued to develop more and more each day. She loves to pull herself up everywhere she can, and she can even use only one hand to do it.



If there is something that she wants, she will take a few tentative steps while holding on, but no walking yet. She can crawl quickly up steps, and she gets very excited when she makes it to the top of one set of stairs (now she just needs to learn to go down steps!). She is also babbling more and more each day. She loves to laugh and smile!

Enjoy the pictures below to show some of the events from the past month.

A few weeks ago we went up to visit Grammy and Pop over Father's Day; we had a great time visiting with everyone.

Maya has been experimenting drinking out of other types of cups the last few weeks...







We also had fun celebrating the Fourth of July last week!







On Maya's 11 month birthday, we got to go to her first birthday party to celebrate her friend Emma turning 1! Maya had a great time!

My first time wearing my bathing suit!



I loved playing at the water table!
