It's hard to believe that Labor Day weekend is over and summer has just about come to end... During Maelee's 16th month, we've enjoyed some lazy days, some busy days, and days with some very special ladies.
In the beginning of August, we had the pleasure of Nana's company for several days- we had fun at some parks, ate good food at lots of restaurants, and Steve and I even got a date night in! Steve returned the favor by letting my mom and me go see a show one night- "How to Succeed in Business without Really Trying," starring David Radcliffe and John Larroquette. It was AWESOME! Definitely one of our favorites.
So, onto some pictures from the visit!
Someone was quite tickled to see her Nana!!!
A special treat from Nana- Violet, the puppy!
Her first toy that had to be programmed on the computer... it actually says her name!
Such a fun trip!
And a few random but sweet shots...
Our lovely, little lady rolling around on our lovely, little kitchen floor, pretty much the entire, lovely, little afternoon... sigh.
Three very lovely, little ladies- friends from their 1st month.
Hanging out with friends in their courtyard

Yes, that's a make-up brush. It's starting...
Already. Sigh.
She loves to watch mommy putting on make-up...
And yes, that is our Parker.
He has become an incredibly patient cat with our little lady.
(Note: there is no actual make-up on the brush as hard as Maelee may try to cover up Parker's white spot)
Just before Maelee turned 16 months old, we enjoyed a WONDERFUL treat of having one of my dearest friends,
Sarah, come to visit. We were inseparable in grad school in San Francisco and it was SO awesome to have her here and meet our little girl.
Me and my girl.
