I wasn’t sure if this was too matchy matchy or if I’d look like a candy cane haha, but I thought the belt kind of broke things up and I went with it anyways! 🙂

Keeping it Real…
She kept taking off running down the block haha.
Classic Maya… 😉 
(all pictures taken with a self timer/shutter release and tripod, except ones of Maya :))
Riiiiiiight about now, it started raining. Maya’s in this stage where she does NOT like to get her hair wet. As long as she has a hood or an umbrella, she’s totally fine. But she was having NO MORE pictures after this….
So, we headed over to my parents. This is the only real picture I got of her adorable dress ;{
Because…hahaha. Clearly…not in the mood.
After we were leaving, she did her butt dance for them, which always makes her happy 🙂
On me…
We have a new game where Maya stands behind me, and then I spin around and catch her. It really isn’t a game, but she cracks up endlessly, so…there you go. It’s our game! 
I mean….that light shining down on her? LOVE!!!
We tried doing bubbles for a bit, but it was still pretty windy, and they all just flew away so fast! 
On me…
And, of course…totally out of focus, because…that’s how the day went, BUT…I’ve been dying for these shoes to finally fit her!!
No happy go lucky Maya. She got into my bag and found her snack the minute we got there. She’s trying to open it in the shot above, which is why the shot is blurry. I said she could have it a little later after we played for a bit, but of course…she tried to open it on her own, and…spilled everywhere. There is no 5 second rule here….
Of course crows and seagulls came!
And at first, she thought it was cool… 
On me…
On me…

It actually stopped raining too, so I paired it with a super comfy cashmere cardigan and got to skip the coat! 
But…I HAD to show the back. LOVE!!! It’s the tease of an open back, but you can still wear a normal bra-yay!!
I wasn’t sure if Maya would even wear this jacket when I scored it thrifting, but she loves it!
Her new thing…. 😉 
I can’t even… 🙂 
On me…
Or, one of the many times someone walks by with their dog, and asks what the heck I’m doing haha. AWKWARD! 
I love this next one. It totally looks beautifully posed. Clearly…it wasn’t 😉 
Of course, she had requested temporary tattoos on her a few days before. I tried wiping them off, but is there anything more authentic on a 4 year old??! 
So her…jumping of anything and everything! 
I seriously love Seattle on days like this… 
Oddly, this next one is one of my favorites…
And that smile-DYING!! 
And then…whatever, I’ll just embrace the water. 
And…I knew this would happen eventually! I’m just glad it didn’t happen in the first 5 minutes, like it usually does ;} 
If you don’t already get it, go get the 
Um….or this 😉
Although…I do love this. Even if she’s rolling in a pile of weeds! We’ll just call them wildflowers 😉 Seriously, I’m pretty sure Seattle is the only beach that has patches of “wildflowers” here and there-love it!
I asked my mom if she wanted to come with us. A lot of times the minute Maya’s feet hit the sand, she’s OFF!! And…into the water. I wanted to try and get a few pictures before all that happened, so I brought my secret weapon-Meme!! She never runs away from Meme 🙂
Maya was totally cracking me up. I finally figured out how to use my remote shutter and have it take consecutive shots on it’s own. I have 10 shots of her showing her snacks to the camera 😉
YES!! I finally can take a bunch of these and not have to keep running back to the camera to push the self timer! It’s almost sad how excited I was when I finally figured it out! 
That little tongue… 
The tongue again 🙂
This is one of the many times I wish I’d actually washed my hair. I love this image, but the frizzy no shower top knot… ;{ Real life though!! 
On me…
And…I happened to actually look at her face. It was covered in crumbs haha. 
Kiss? I guess that’s a “No”?
