Naturally Inquisitive

When Etta was "little" we used to actually sit with her at the piano and play. And when she could finally reach the keys herself it was a proud moment for her.

But since we have Etta around I (unfortunately) haven't really taken the time with Mae to just sit and play the piano with her. But it didn't take her very long to figure out that the tall thing makes noise. It helps me keep track of where she is. Not just the piano "playing" but also the fact that if she gets stuck or can't quite reach the keys from a given point she is quite vocal in her frustrations!

First Harvest

It's not much, but it's ours. First tomato and green pepper of the season from our very own "garden plot" under the clothes line. Super tasty!!

Summer Fun

We finally made it over to Pioneer Park to play in the fountain. Both girls loved it!

Mae is really starting to "crab walk" quite a bit. I don't know if she doesn't like certain textures on her knees or if she wants to walk. I'm thinking textures.



I'm a big kid, mom!



Happy baby in the fountain.



Summer is so fun!!!

Approaching One

Mae loves all things that Etta does or has. Including her water bottle. I wasn't sure if she was going to be able to figure it out right away, but boy was I wrong. It is nice that she can use it since it has been pretty hot here. Now we just have to figure out how to get her to leave some water in the bottle! I'm guessing that we should probably get her her own though....



And check out those blue eyes!

From the Mouths of Babes

Etta says while looking at her picture Bible: "The Lord is kind of sad because I was being not nice to my sister".

Up, Up and...

Away. She's working hard. About the same time that Etta did.

Duets

And it begins...





Although Mae usually wants to join with Etta on the same piano, not stay on her own. (Notice her eyeing her sister's keyboard & daddy pointing to her own...)
