Maeve's first baby friend

My friend Tara came over last week, with her adorable baby, Hannah. Hannah is about 2-1/2 months older than Maeve and this is the first time they've met. As you can see, I'm sure they will be true friends for life, since they held hands at their first meeting. It was great to hang out with both of them and talk about all things baby. :) Thanks for driving to see us, Tara and Hannah. I have a feeling we'll be seeing a lot of each other...

Also, Maeve does have a few good tummy time moments...really, these are the only couple of good ones I've ever captured...:)

Smiling and turning over

Here are some of my favorite recent smiling pictures of Maeve. Also, in 4 parts, I managed to capture Maeve's first turning over-- from her tummy to her back (easier, of course, then from back to tummy)-- I just happened to have my camera out at a good moment. Actually, she hates tt time so much, that could have inspired this first turning over. To be honest, she hasn't done it since. Maybe she thinks, I did it once, now don't bother me with it again.

California Dreaming

Okay, so it's been a long time since I posted and now I'm going to post tons. Maeve had her first plane ride on Feb. 7th-- we went to Palm Springs, CA with my dad and Jim for a week in the sun. We had a great time, even though it was unusually cold and rainy for the CA desert. I'm beginning to wonder if Maeve is a bearer of great joy, AND also rain, cold and snow wherever she goes. Maeve loved wearing her first bathing suit (Juicy Couture from Grandpa Jim-- also the yellow outfit is a JC number from Grandpa Jim!) and also she got to meet her cousins, Bridget and Shea. We love them and wished they lived closer to us.
