Maya's favorite activity in the world is to play with these Russian dolls that were mine when I was little. She goes over to the shelves and points at them and then will sit with them for hours, rearranging them over and over again.
One of Maya's favorite activities in the world is to play with the Russian stacking dolls that were mine when I was little. She does them over and over and over....etc......Randy and I have to clean them up at least twice daily. The girls are definitely better at putting them back together than we are.
We go to Sharkey's Cut for Kids for haircuts. While Delaney was having hers done in the Barbie Jeep, Maya sat in Lightning McQueen. Maya's hair is quite long but I am not ready to have hers cut yet because it is so pretty. I waited to gets Delaney's cut until she was 2 1/2. Might have to do Maya's a little sooner but we'll see.
Delaney got two inches cut off of her hair. I was a little nervous before she had it done but I think it looks really cute.
My little tutu baby.
Have banana, will sing with princess dress.
Have tutu, will slide.
Our breakfast room gets really sunny around lunch time. Delaney often requests sunglasses while we are eating and Maya didn't want to be left out in the fun.
Super star
Randy got Delaney to do a sweet pose.....
......and then a silly pose.
Delaney and I went to her friend Daniel's birthday party at Monkey Joe's. Yes....yet another birthday party at Monkey Joe's. The kids love it and it is getting slightly easier to take now that the kids are more independent and we moms don't need to climb in after them on those god awful blow up things anymore. I love that all of the kids ran into the party room and immediately put on their party hats before having their cake. They are so trained....and adorable.
Maya's teacher Patti sent me this pic of my little flirt on the playground with little Andrew. Apparently right before this picture was taken she was leaning back on Andrew.
There are quite a few dress up items in Maya's classroom at school and I think she looks quite good in this pimp hat . I hung out in Maya's class for a bit to get some pictures.

Cute little Thomas.
I went to daycare to see Delaney's dance class. The little girls were so cute lining up the hall.
They started doing the class in a circle versus rows and their teacher Miss Lacey said that it has done wonders for the girls' paying attention. Delaney does very well with paying attention and following directions versus some of the other girls. I really need to work with Delaney on turning those poor legs out because she still turns her legs in and needs to work on sitting "butterfly catcher" which is what her teacher calls it to sit criss-cross applesauce. Delaney really could do well if we could get her legs turned out. Doing first position is so hard for her, poor dear. She definitely gets an "A" for effort though and is so adorable to watch.
A little fuzzy but I loved capturing the girls as they were so excited heading to dance class. Delaney is that cute little one with the kitty backpack.
Delaney in her dance class doing "Under the Sea". She is the one in the bright pink tutu.
I love it when they do stuff individually. The hip bump is adorable.
My future ballerina.
Delaney has been practicing this move at home and is getting pretty good at it.
Randy has been trying to get me to play Twister for quite some time. Right after I found out Delaney played at school, I immediately informed him so he could have a playmate. It was too funny to watch. Delaney doesn't quite get it but loves to play anyway. As you see, of course she plays in a princess dress.
Just trying to get some shots of the belly on my little one. She loves to flaunt it and poke it out.
The little stool in our kitchen serves as a snacking zone for Maya.
Loving bath time.
Maya shows off all of her new language skills while in the bath. Her new word is "Abby" which is her best friend at school. She says that much more than "mama" or "daddy".
Kiss!!!
Delaney and Maya love giving kisses and hugs to each other.
I am usually the one that takes Delaney on special mommy/daughter outings, whether it is to Target, Publix, or birthday parties. Randy has really been wanting a Laney Day so he took her to the circus. If you know me, you know I have a small little problem with clowns so this worked out perfectly. The two of them had so much fun and Delaney absolutely loved it. I am going to be a big girl and go next year.
**Sidenote: Bless his heart, Randy tried his best with pictures but they are a little fuzzy.
Trapeeze
Daddy and his little one.
Randy said there was lots of fire.

Shooting someone out of cannon on fire.
Apparently at the circus they shoot some guy out of a cannon and he is on fire. I love Randy and Delaney's conversation during this.
A little popcorn snack at intermission.
The elephants
The elephants doing tricks at the cirus. Randy makes me laugh with his "yuck" during this video.
A bit hit for Delaney at the circus were the elephants.
Randy loves to play video games and Zelda is one of his favorites. Delaney can sit and watch it for hours---not play it---watch it. She actually requests it quite often which makes Randy oh so happy. Apparently there is something about that game because Maya, as you can see, is fascinated by it too.
While Delaney took a long nap after the circus Maya got a little Daddy play time.
Grammy and Nutty stopped by and brought a huge bunch of clothes for the girls. Target was having a sale on not only Disney princess attire but the Harajuku Mini line, which is the clothing line designed by Gwen Stefani that is super cute. Delaney and Maya got hooked up with a lot of adorable new outfits and shoes. Delaney decided to try everything on at one time.
The girls got matching Snow White attire. Delaney, who is usually the tough one to get to smile for the camera was loving it today and Maya, who is usually hamming it up for the camera wouldn't smile a bit. My attempt for a cute sisters pic didn't go so well.
Even though Maya isn't smiling it's still pretty darn cute.
