Abe and Maya seemed to fly through the craziness of July without a scratch. It was Larkin and me that were basketcases! Maya had a fantastic July in FL and is now probably trying to figure out how come her home in DC doesn't come with a pool.
Grandma gave Maya her own cabinet to play with.
Maya also showed off her burgeoning musical skills frequently.
She had quite a daily routine. The highlight of each day was swimming...
and then watching Yo Gabba Gabba with PaPa...
and then watching Quack Quack Waddle Waddle on the computer.
When Maya wasn't swimming or watching her favorite shows, she learned to crawl up and down stairs,
run from room to room,
and look at all Grandma's Santa Clauses (Grandma has been waiting for years for someone to take this much interest in her Santas!)
Maya also learned where her head and belly button are located and is now able to answer the ever-so-important question, "What do cows say?"We also went to New Smyrna Beach twice. First, we went over a day that Larkin was in town and visited with Betsy, Bridget, and Brent Sturgis.
Then Maya and I took a road trip with Sarah and Jacob Cohen to visit the Reynolds and the Coates.
In spite of being in four different states at times, the Tackett family made it through July with flying colors. We are very grateful to my parents for keeping Maya (except we gave you a baby and got back a little girl); Allison, Mandy, and Steph for hosting all 4 of us at different times; and Tatman and Phillip for allowing their guest room to serve as Larkin's home base once he started work. We owe you all BIG time....
