maza laughing

i think we can officially count yesterday as the first day maza really laughed. her grandpa bradshaw was visiting and she found him to be quite funny. she has such a great laugh, i just love it!

we're baccckkkk

i was incredibly nervous about flying back with maza by myself. i said many many prayers and they must have been answered because she was an angel the whole time. on both flights i was able to take the car seat, she ate, she smiled, she slept, people were so nice to us, i couldn't have asked for a better trip. it was SO good to finally land in pittsburgh and see rich again! it is good to be back.

since we have been back we have jumped right into fall.

maza and cousin jack reunited once again. they are 6 weeks apart.

we have been cheering on BYU. i know they would be playing better if they knew they had such a cute cheerleader rooting for them.

maza sporting her one of a kind pitt dental dress made just for her by her grandma bradshaw. she was a HIT at the picnic we went to!

rich and some guys from his class who also had babies this summer. so cute huh?!

maza is getting closer and closer to rolling over these days. last week i was on the computer and looked over to find her like this!! i don't know if it officially counts as her first flip over because she never figured out how to pull that arm through--but i'd say she gets at least a 95% for this one.

maza is now 3 months old!! a few things about 3 month maza:

--she started sleeping through the night while we were on vacation 8-9 hours! sooo exciting, life is great now! :)
--she smiles more and more
--she has started trying to reach out and grab things and interacts more and more with the hanging toys on her play mat
--her hair still sticks strait up
--she has been to 9 states

so long sweet summer

as the end of august drew to a close, rich had to head back to pittsburgh to start school. it was sad to see him go, but lucky for maza and i we still had a week left of our vacation! we still managed to have a little fun...

maza and i spent our first night away from each other! maza got to hang out with grandma while i had the wonderful opportunity of going on a daddy-daughter campout with all three of my sisters and dad! i don't think this has ever happened, or will happen again for that matter where we are all together. we had a very fun time (at least i think we did--my sisters might say something different) we all slept in a tent together, and went on a early morning hike and the best part was a stop at dudley's bakery for breakfast on the way home.

maza got to wish everyone a happy first day of school while we were there.

we had lots of girl time!!

mom, maza and i went on a roadtrip to utah for swiss days! we had so much fun, and maza was a champion traveler! we found lots of treasures at swiss days and came back with a very full van. :)

we also were able to see lots of family on both sides while we were there, but wished we could've stayed for a whole other week so we could've seen everyone! it was especially great to finally meet corbin. he and maza are only 3 months apart. so fun!
