Here are some batteries for your camera, Kira (hint, hint)

Doing my best to avoid napping.

Playing with my new steps.

Hanging out with Lucy.

Playing in my new kitchen from Buni.

Mommy's been a bit busy lately with some big, big work projects, and I've been busy too! I now give big wet kisses (and am very proud to do so), can stand for a little bit without support, am starting to understand signing, and I can't forget . . . am sleeping through the night!! My favorite foods are cheese (and I can kind of say the word too) , puffy toddler food, peas, and yogurt. I'm not so crazy about meat though. It's still fun to go for walks, crawl and chase Mommy, make the bed with Mommy and hang out with the Grandparents. I have some super cute videos for you but they won't come off the camera . . . stay tuned!

Growling at the dinner table

Looking out the window

Masha seems to be missing summer already. She peeks out the windows on a regular basis and is upset when we don't stay outside when I open the front door to get the mail.

Afternoon at the Park

Learning to Climb

Yep. She made it all the way to the top of the stairs on her first try.

Fun at the Park

Working in the office with Mom

Andrew split up the upstairs office a bit to create a baby-proofed area for Masha to play in. She works on playing with her toys while I work on designing and making greeting cards. It's much, much easier than keeping tiny hands out of all of the shelves . . .
