Mary and Lola

Mary met Lola on our trip to Wisconsin. Lola loved to get in Mary's face. Check out the series of shots.

Happy Belated Father's Day!!

Mary and I went to Shriner's to visit Mike and celebrate Father's Day for a few minutes. We brought him a Cookies and Cream milkshake from UDF and walked the hallways. Mike is an incredible father. He has so much fun with Mary and I know she has just as much fun with him.

We also celebrated with my Dad. It was his choice for a meal and so we went to Frisch's Big Boy!! I know, some choice but we didn't argue. What a great father and grandfather.

Being Silly

Mary loves to wear her hat and if Mike is wearing his then she definitly wants to wear it.

Mary's Great Aunt Connie gave her this pack n' play for her dolls but as you can see Mary likes to play in it herself.

I was trying to video Mary putting the pieces of her animal puzzle in the right spots but as you can see she did not follow my instructions.

Pool Fun

Mary's friend Ethan and his parents invited us over for a swim party. The kids had so much fun. The best part of the pool was that it had a little fountain that the kids enjoyed the most. They only sat in the pool water for a minute since they were so enthralled with the mini geyser.

Mary and Ethan ate dinner in their diapers-too cute!

Messy Eater

Mary hasn't really been interested in feeding herself with a spoon or fork until recently so we had a little tutorial on the spoon yesterday. Check out the results!

Fun in the Sun

We just got back from our vacation in Destin. Mary loved the sand and the surf but mostly she loved the time spent with Nana, Grandpa, Aunt Katie and Anthony!! Mike and I are still recovering from the trip. It is no vacation running after a 15th month old. Enjoy the pics. All the pictures are on the right side under Destin Vacation.

The Hyle family all together.

Safety First!

Mary had fun on the bikes too. She liked to tickle my mom's back as they rode.

Mary loved playing with her toys on the edge of the pool.

By the end of our few hours at the beach, Mary had sand in every nook and cranny.

All stretched out!

Milk Face

Mary got ahold of her cup of milk. I think the pictures speak for themselves.
