Baybay & Baybee: Week 110 (9/11-9/17)

110 weeks old!

It is officially very hot out. We brought the hose into the backyard this week and the girls have been enjoying the chance to play and cool off in the water.

The purple asters are open in the back yard.

Ella filling up her purple bucket.

Makes a good hat, too.

Maya had the same idea.

Got my hat, ready to go for a walk!

I did another twin-apple-eating photoshoot. I can't help it, Maya and Ella are just so photogenic!

"There's Mama with the camera again..."

"Psst, Ella, I think she's taking pictures of us!"

Frown.

"No no, like this Maya!"

Maya has some practice ahead of her in the frown department.

Silly.

I love this one.

Tongues.

Hugs.

And more hugs.

On Wednesday morning, the girls and I let Brett sleep in while we made a peach blueberry pie! It was delicious. As we were finishing our slices of pie together later that day, Maya noticed that Brett's was all gone before the rest of us. She quickly announced, "Dada, more pie!" Brett told her, "No thanks, I'm all full and don't need anymore." After a puzzled look, Maya's response to that was, "Done pie Maya more want! 'Nother piece!" (She did a good job of making sure it was clear that when she was done with her piece, SHE wanted more.)

Maya and Dada. I think Maya looks a lot like her cousin Atom in this photo.

Ella models a new fuzzy penguin shirt.

Washing kale.

A cute video of the girls playing with their stuffed animals.

Just driving and boating around.

Both girls have still been singing the ABC's a lot. On a walk home from Cup and Top this week, they were singing it together over and over beautifully. A couple other interesting things of note: when asked questions, Ella tends to say, "yes" while Maya says, "yeah". They also seem to know their right from their left. I feel like we are starting to be able to have real conversations with them now, which is pretty neat!

At the Parent's Center. Busy watching all the other kids.

Driving.

Sliding together at Cup and Top.

We all went together to the library one afternoon.

Maya's big Lego tower.

A shopping trip to the River Valley Market.


Biking around the neighborhood.

We met up with Sia and Josephine on our walk/ride.

Selena playing the game, "I wonder where Ella is?!"

VERY excited to see all the play structures at Grandma and Grandpa's house!

Trying out the swing for the first time.

Maya and Ella are the center of attention.

Both girls wanted to sit with Grandma for dessert.

Merry stopped by and had fun building blocks with the girls.
