Maya part 2...Maya osa 2


Maya swam in a pool for the first time! Maya kavi uimassa uimaaltaassa ekaa kertaa!



Olimme viikonloppuna Weilerin perheen luonna uimassa heidan lammitetyssa uima altaassa. Maya tykkasi NIIN paljon olla uima altaassa! Mayan vaaleanpunaisessa asussa on 50 auringonsuojakerrosta.

Last weekend Maya swam in the Weiler's heated pool! It was her first time! She LOVED it and splashed all over! And, her pink outfit and hat have a 50 SPF...got to protect her white, white skin!

Maya got her 6th tooth! Mayalle tuli kuudes hammas!

Hei! Mayalle tuli kuudes hammas eilen! Eli 3 hammasta yhdeksassa paivassa...on tytolla ollut kiiretta...Ja lisaksi Maya eilen otti 3-4 askelta! Joskus vahan rauhellisemmin ja puoli-kontrollissa ja useammin niin kiireisena etta Elvi-Mamma sanoo etta on "drunken sailor" (humalassa oleva merimies?!?!?). Nyt kiiretta riittaa... Elvi-Mammalla on vapaa paivaa ja Maya menee sinne tanaan. Ihanaa uutisia: Mummo ja Ukki Kajaanista tulee 27.3 ja ovat kolme viikkoa!!

Hi! Maya got her 6th tooth yesterday! Three teeth in the past 9 days!! Busy baby girl! In addition to that, Maya took 3-4 steps yesterday..sometimes controlled and calmly, but mostly hurridly and out of control. Elvi-Mamma calls her a "drunken sailor!" Elvi-Mamma has a day off today and Maya will spend the day with her. Great news: Maya's grandparents from Finland are arriving on March 27th for three weeks!!

Pirkko says... Pirkko kysyilee...

These are traditional Finnish cardamon rolls and blueberry pastry. These are absolutely wonderful tasting!!



Siskot ja muutkin sukulaiset! Pistäkääpä kommenttia ja mielellään omia pullanäytteitänne, niin voisimme vertailla pulliamme.
Pullanleivonta on edelleen kunniassa täällä Suomessa.
Tämäkin kuva todistaa sen, eikö niin?
