The great weather just keeps on coming.  And I am NOT complaining!!  I almost feel guilty about it seeing all the horrible cold weather in the Midwest and NorthEast…almost 😉 OMG, I love that I just caught her little head in the frame 🙂  And how’s that athletic stance, Dad? hahaha.

All my years of softball, volleyball, and weight lifting shining through in this picture!  Frick at this age, I have to be careful not to throw out my back playing with Maya :{And…the licking.  Constantly the licking… “Mommy, throw me up in the air like this!” and she backs into me and holds her hands up 🙂 DYING over this next one!!  Excuse the bare belly… Then our neighbor came out (who Maya LOVES), so we played with him.I don’t even know where she got it, but doing a thumbs up is her new thing.  SO cute!

On me…

 

 We’ve had some really nice days lately.  Like into the 60’s nice, which is very rare for February in Seattle.  The only downside is it’s off and on throughout the day… On our way down to the beach it was 53-hence the sweater and layers on Maya.   Then, by the time we left (and I was a sweaty hot mess), it was 60.  Can’t really complain though 🙂I’m such a sucker for a fun back detail… I didn’t mean for us to both wear this similar color.  Obviously…because they are similar, but kind of clash when I’m holding her.  Oh, well. 😉 And…she’s OFF! 🙂You can hardly tell, but these have the most fun camo print!Sea Lion!!  Or…seal.  Not really sure which. 🙂She totally bit it after tossing that ginormous stick into the water… Didn’t phase her though 🙂On me…

And, not all our throws get captured perfectly haha.  We tried about 5 times and kept catching them on the way down.  Her hair here though-LOVE IT!! 🙂

 I’m sure I’m not alone in saving things for “special occasions”.  I bought these pants at the last Nordstrom Rack “Clear the Rack Sale”.  I meant for them to be pants that I’d wear when I shoot weddings.  Comfy, yet still dressy.  Well, I decided not to wait!  I rolled them up for a little more casual look, and I loved them! And this jacket of Maya’s?  She wore it for Christmas, and that’s it.  I LOVE IT though, so I decided she could dress it down too 🙂There was a tagger on the loose all over West Seattle.  We actually saw some of this person’s work outside of our gym, which is a good 15 minutes away from this park. I actually posted a picture of Maya imitating this face on a wall near our gym on my personal Instagram account.  So funny! Omg, could this dog be any cuter??  Not ours, but Maya loves and wants to pet every single dog she sees.  “What’s his name?!” And then the dancing began 🙂 On me…

If there is a curb, or a ledge…she wants to walk on it. 😉

 Basically, I felt like I was wearing a nightgown and my robe all day…which counts as a home run in my book (or touch down as the case may be lately- or not :{)The Huz asked me why I was wearing a “sexy dress”.  My answer?  Because I felt chubby and didn’t want to wear anything tight.  Basically, I felt anything but sexy, and that’s when he thought I looked sexy.  It’s funny how differently men see us vs how we feel, no? That awkward moment when cars drive by and they do a double take…

Yeah, I’m standing in front of my house taking my own picture…whatever. 😉Maya always wants to get in my mouth when I’m chewing gum.

“When I get OLDER, I can chew gum!” 🙂 She has a mouthful of cracker here.  She’s started saving her food in her mouth.  Which wouldn’t be so bad (choking hazard aside!), but then she repeatedly spits it out into her hand, looks at it, then puts it back in her mouth-EW!!  Not sure if she’s pretending it’s gum?  Or taking to heart all the many times I’ve told her to slow down and actually chew her food.  OR…she’s just being a toddler 😉 In any case, she thinks it’s hilarious. Not as hilarious as running away from me.  That’s pretty much her most favorite game to play! On me…
