I once read that laughing actually makes you healthier. It works your muscles, eases tension and a whole lot of other stuff I don't remember. I just know..its good for the soul...good for the spirit.
We laugh a lot.
Her tongue is out of control. She wants to feel her teeth at every opportunity. She ends up looking like a baby lizard. I laugh every time I see that tongue slithering out.
We feel like we live with Shamu's cousin.
We're constantly in the splash zone. I've actually considered wearing a poncho, but the heat has swayed me away from wearing such a large piece of plastic.
We love taking her places....and love that she loves to go where we love to go!
We had been in Rochester for the day, visiting our friends, Robin and Steve and their boys. On the drive back, we decided to celebrate that '10 years ago today, we got engaged'.
We stopped at a winery that we enjoyed Maya....and we enjoyed it again...live music, a wine flight, tasty pretzels and an energetic aura in the winery.
We felt proud...proud that we were able to 'have a fun experience as a family', sip a glass of wine and enjoy the babbles and smiles of our sidekick. As we enjoyed this fun family moment together, I looked down at Maya with her legs propped up her stroller and had an 'OH NO' moment.
Prior to leaving Rochester, I had my first 'I didn't plan very well moment' and had run out of diapers.....luckily, I had brought a recently purchased swim diaper along!
As I looked down at her legs propped up, all I saw was a soaking wet skirt.
While Maya babbled, I gasped.
I put her legs down. She grunted and raised them back up.
I normally don't slam wine....I slammed the wine. It was time for the 'family that brought their baby to the winery' to leave.
Lots of laughs, lots of joy, lots of memories of how our lives have changed since that beautiful July engagement in Colorado!
Making memories this summer....and loving the simple moment.

What made you smile today?
This level of joy. Every Single Time this girl smiles, my insides smile.
Joy could literally ooze out of my pores.
Rolls.
Thick, soft, squishy thighs.
Big, chubby calves that won't fit into the "narrow fit" baby jeans.
Arms that have creases.
Blue eyes and little raised eyebrows.
Letting go.
Watching new experiences unfold and actually being inspired by avocado-filled-finger-nails.
I know she's exploring this big, crazy world.
Two little teeth.
Two little teeth that will take off your finger. Beware.
