She's so smart!

Maya amazes us more every day! It is so fun to watch her learn and grow. She turned 10 months old this week and can say two words, da-da and diaper ("di-pa"). She has mastered crawling up the stairs, cruises from furniture to furniture, walks holding just one of our hands, washes her hands on command, dances to ANY beat (including the washing machine), and does the Itsy Bitsy Spider with her hands.

Here she is this morning:

Sewing Projects

Hooded Towel
My favorite towel to dry Maya off is one that a friend made me as a gift. I love it so much I wished I had more of them so I decided to try to make one on my own. I added an applique on the back for fun with some extra fabric I had left over from a previous project.

Maya's Dress

Mom, you would be so proud of me! Your sewing lessons paid off afterall, sorry I was so stuburn and gave up on things easily. Thank you for all your hard work teaching me, it is my new addiction.

I have been lusting after this fabric at Joann's for a while now, I finally got the guts to attempt a dress for Maya. I found that I really can sew, I just was lacking the confidence. I am really pleased with the way it turned out, it's just a little too big for Maya right now. In a couple of months she'll be walking and I'll really be able to enjoy it.

Button holes for the first time, I was scared but they ended up to be extremely easy.

Mother's Day

The day before Mother's Day Tommy built us a raised garden bed. I am so excited for a garden in our backyard and eat those fresh vegetables! Maya loves to play in the dirt and walking along the wall.

Sunday morning I woke up to a wonderful gift from Maya, a Big Boss Grill. I have been wanting one of these for so long. It has six different plates you can switch up to cook different things. It even has a donut plate, on Sunday we made 40 little donuts in little over 30 minutes. They were yummy too! I love this thing.
We went to Tommy's parents house to have a Mother's Day dinner with his mom and family.
