Month: April 2007

Maeve and mommy had a fun day on Friday with our playgroup in the morning, coffee date with Nikki and Gwen, and Wiggleworms class. Then we ventured downtown for a visit to mommy’s work! Saturday was Maeve’s first swimming lesson at the YMCA – she loved every minute, kicking and splashing with daddy. We also had a fun time with April and Miguel who came for a visit, and a nice dinner out with Christi and Martin. New foods this week included butternut squash and a yummy apple/pear blend with cinnamon. Next up…green beans! There are some new photos in the gallery…

Apologies to the grandparents, but we had to go with popular opinion on one of our favorites – the monkey pic (#2) has been submitted to the Babytalk magazine cover contest. Thank you to everyone who voted! The rules say that the semi-finalists will be chosen “based equally on the personality and charm of photo subjects as conveyed by their photo.” We should be notified by May 31 if Maeve is chosen as one of the eight semi-finalists. FYI – there are so many wonderful photos of Maeve and we love the one up top as well, but the photo had to be taken within one month of submission and we snapped that one back in February in Florida so it didn’t qualify…

Maeve is seven months old today and has been a busy girl! The new food she tried this week was papaya, and she and Zlatka have been playing outside since the weather has finally improved. She is looking forward to spending time with her Grandma, Auntie Beth and Matt who are coming to visit this weekend. We will have lots of fun pictures to share!

We are thrilled to announce that we have added a video gallery to the site! There is a link on the top bar next to our photo gallery link. These snippets will allow you to see and hear Maeve as she learns new things, manipulates her toys and tests out the sound of her own voice. Enjoy!

We had lots of fun visiting with family and friends in Michigan this weekend, celebrating Easter and Mommy’s birthday! Maeve enjoyed her colorful high chair at Nanna and Grandad’s house, and visited Auntie Beth’s house for the first time. As usual, this cherished time went by too quickly but we have some great pictures and memories of the fun. Please see the updated albums in the photo gallery…
