Liam and Maia in June

Just throwing up a lot of pictures of Liam and Maia throughout June so far.

Liam and Maia love the playground. Maia did VERY well on the swings. I had to push her, but she held on like a pro...pretty good for only a few months past 2. Sorry, no Liam...all the shots of him were video.

Liam and I had fun with some markers (heh)

Maia was being intentionally cute for this photo shoot.

I'd say Maia has a pacifier addiction...wouldn't you? 

(she was being silly in this shot...though she still insists on them for sleeping and we have to make sure she can't reach one during the day)

This is Field Day at Liam's elementary school. His class is waiting their turn (Liam is short and near the back of the line, so you can't see him here)

Liam gets his turn on the ball bounce

Later he does the parachute, which was his favorite activity

Liam and Maia were enjoying playing in Liam's room. Together, they do an awesome job of making a mess of it. Poor Liam ends up cleaning most of it.

When we were at Dawn's house, she and Liam planted Zinnia seeds. Once they started sprouting, we planted them in the front garden. They have finally started flowering, and Liam wanted to show them off. The sunflower that he started growing from a seed at school is also doing quite well, as you can see. It's almost taller than him at this point.

Liam and Maia love getting baths together. Which is great, because it makes it easier to bathe Maia.

I got my nails done at Precious Nails and when I showed them to Maia, she asked "Maia some too?" She asked so sweetly and hopefully that I gave in and painted her nails with a soft pink that I had. She was VERY patient and careful with her new nails. And she proudly showed them off for the rest of the day. My cute little girl.

We got Fisher Price roller skates for Maia to try out, but they are way too big on her. So Liam was trying them out. He was quite amused.

One morning, Maia wrapped my cardigan around her shoulders and sat in her chair and started "talking" to Liam. He starting having a conversation with her...first he asked some questions, and then she said...well...some response that made sense to her. Then he would do more talking/asking, and she would respond. It felt like we were watching a talk-show host interviewing a guest star. 

Maia got a hold of her clips and handed each one of them to me, to put into her hair. She wouldn't let me stop until ALL of them were in. (I can't believe I managed to find enough hair space for them all)
