Mavis & Daddy go running

 
A weekend or so ago, Mavis & her Daddy & her dog (he's camera shy) did the Hot to Trot 5K. Mavis had a great time watching the other runners & dogs & even some kids running in Elvis outfits. She wore her Elvis onsie & blue suede pants & made her Daddy promise to get her an Elvis outfit for when she runs it with him next year. 

9 months in, 9 months out

 
For those of you who might not have noticed, yesterday, May 9th, was Mavy's 9 month birthday. She looks a little worried about the implications. She is now a whopping 18.25 ounces & 29 inches long. Which equals 50th percentile for weight, & 95th for height (if only my dimensions were equivalent). No cake this time. 

 
Mavis tolerates Mommy getting all artsy-fartsy trying to take pictures to show off her baby & her embroidery that she forces Mavis to wear. Luckily the rubber ducky is there for Mavis, in case she needs to chew on something. 

 
My favorite baby in the whole wide world. 

Mavis emerges from the bath

 
Mavis used to HATE taking baths, cried the whole time,we hardly ever gave them to her. Finally we took the advice people had offered us months earlier (poor Mavis) & Mom takes bathes with her now. Now she is relaxed & enjoys them. Even splashes around a bit. How come they don't make adult towels with hoodies like this???
