Another Drummer

Now that she can (sort of) sit up on her own it's opening up a world of new toys.

Mouth Trumpet

Maesy is slowly figuring out she can make noises with her lips. I think she's trying to blow raspberries, but so far they're mostly coming out as nose horns and spit rivers.

Baby Toy / Cat Toy

Gus has become enamored with Maesy's "activity gym."

I lost a ton of photos from Maesy's first visit with Sam and family (stupid memory card error), including several with the photo-shy Willow holding Maesy. Boo. But here's a few I got afterwards. We will have to get better shots when they come back in September.

The elusive Willow. (She's like the Sasquatch -- I had to clip this shot out of a video that panned past her.)

So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.

For four months I've been saying "gunga, gunga galunga" to Maesy... and it's starting to pay off! (The standard version gets a smile, but I had to cut it up a bit here for the laugh.)
