Anntielise dressed her - but it was what Maija wanted. :)
Anntielise's new man, Jeff, brought his two dogs, Minter & Brooke over for dinner. Maija loved them and wasn't intimidated at all by their size.

What a cute little thing!
Maija...it looks like you are concentrating really hard on something...
Earlier that day, Maija was with her parents at the Hammonds in Marysville. Then, we were very happy to have them join is in Bellevue at the Gibsons for pie and some Wii! :) Here is Maija with S'cousin Bryn!
Maija is inspecting the head massager. Don't worry, we made sure she didn't poke out an eye.
...and tastes good, too.
Maija and Mommy!
Maija had a great time on these stairs - going up and down - up and down...
Up!
Down!
Going up!
...or going down?!
Up again!
And down again!
And up...
...up...
...and all the way down! Maija couldn't quite get that last step without rolling a few feet on the way down! :)
It's time to go swimming at the YMCA! First, you have to take off your clothes!
Maija is getting excited!!
Maija is ready to swim!
Maija got all rinsed and ready to jump in the pool.

Kick kick kick!
Floating along...Maija knows she is a pro!
Maija got a hold of Grandma Annie's "I Voted" sticker and we proceeded to put it on her forehead. 
You're looking good, girl!
