2 Thumbs Up for the Wagon

We tried the wagon out today. And it worked great to haul all of our stuff to the beach including Maya. It also worked great to put her to sleep on the way back from the beach. Our house is all of maybe 200 yards from the beach. I guess she was exhausted. We had another good day of wave jumping and sand digging with our little beach bunny.

Here is our girl modeling for all of you keeping an eye on her duds. Yes Kim, Old Navy!! We love that place. She finally is getting to wear her squeaky sandals from China. Only one of the squeakers worked when she first put them on. I messed around with them and got them both to work. Then we went down to the beach and now neither work. I think the squeakers got sand in them. It was very windy.

Maya with Mom at Sunset Beach. This is a much more typical face from Maya when we try to take a picture. She is certainly uncooperative when we pull out the camera these days.

Maya loves her Daddy so much. She leans in for kisses from him and even chose Dad over Mom to pick her up today. She pats him very gently and lays her head down on his chest when she's sleepy. It melts my heart.

This is what happens when Dad picks her up. No wonder she chooses him over me. She gets thrown into the air and giggles and then has a super scared face for a split second. It is very funny.

Just so everyone doesn't think it's easy to get a pic of Maya smiling. We get many more like this than of the sweet smiling girl I usually post. Thank goodness for digital cameras. I so remember the days of developing film to find only a couple of good pics. Ahhh, those were the days...

We went out to dinner tonight and I gave Maya a bite of lemon. Everyone has seen the lemon faces on babies so you can imagine how hysterical it was. She shook from her head to her toes and then laughed big ol' belly laughs after she recoverd from the sour. Then she wanted more. She did it time and time again. She was really putting on a show for us and particularly her Grandad. She would laugh a silly laugh when he would laugh at her. She has been such a good girl on our vacation. She is having a great time and doesn't mind being out of her normal routine and surroundings. We are trying to keep pretty much to her schedule and that's working well. She has been staying up a little late some nights but hey, we're on vacation.

Until tomorrow...
