Here are some pictures from the past few weeks:

Maya "teaching" Isaac how to walk with his stroller.
She also wanted to hold him in her lap. He is getting a little too big for that.
Maya reading to her Sleeping Beauty doll who is sitting in the blue chair.
Omar snapped this picture of Maya snoozing.
Like Daddy, like daughter.
Maya entertaining Isaac in his crib after a nap.
We met Jill and Anthony while in Tallahassee. They have since moved to Atlanta and have a son 6 weeks younger than Isaac. They came for the weekend and we went to a Furman football game and showed them around downtown. It was great to see them again and get the boys together!

Isaac and Luca enjoying the game.
Bath time with all 3 kids!
The daddies and their boys.
Mommies and their boys.
Maya enjoyed watching the ducks.
Luca and Isaac at lunch.

Crystal and Clint came up for a few days before Thanksgiving. Uncle Clint decided to dress Isaac up in some cute pigtails.
Maya checking out all of her new gifts from one of Dad's coworkers. Isaac enjoyed the easel Mom and Dad brought Maya too.
Aunt Crystal and Uncle Clint with Maya and Isaac.
I hosted my Mom's family at our house for Thanksgiving this year. We enjoyed getting to spend time together! My Uncle Rich will be starring on Jeopardy on December 7th. We wanted to make sure the entire neighborhood knew he was at my house! =)

Isaac serenaded us on the piano.

Decorating a gingerbread house. Maya licked her fingers a lot that afternoon.

Maya loved snuggling up with Sadie. She would wrap the blanket around her so that she was "nice and cozy", as Maya would say.
Funny story: Maya's vitamins look like little gummy bears. She calls them her "teddy bears". Omar gets up with Maya in the morning, so that I can catch a few extra minutes of sleep, and I could hear her asking him for some teddy bears. I knew exactly what she wanted, but unfortunately Omar did not. I continued to hear her ask for the teddy bears for about 5 minutes. Finally I got out of bed to see Maya seated on the couch with all of her "teddy bears". Omar could not figure out which teddy bear she wanted, so he gave them all to her. Once I explained about the vitamins and gave them to Maya, she never mentioned them again. I bet next time Omar will remember what teddy bears she is referring too! ha!
We visited a unique animal park here in Greenville called Hollywild. It features many different types of animals and over the holidays it hosts a light show. You drive your car through the lights and come to a "deer forest". We didn't quite know what to expect, but you are given a bag of bread and told to drive out into the field and feed the deer. There were deer everywhere! They came right up to the car and ate the food. It was so neat!
There was also this monstrous cow! It is standing next to a minivan. Omar, the vegetarian, decided to feed the gigantic cow.
He put his head right inside the car! It was pretty gross, with all of the drool hanging off of his mouth.
Mom and Maya fed a Zebra.
And whatever this is....it had muted stripes like a zebra. I am going to assume it is a mixture of a horse and zebra.
They also have a little Santa land you can visit. It was chilly the night we went so we were all bundled up.
Isaac was so bundled up he could barely move.

Maya eating her lollipop from Santa. About 3 minutes after this picture was taken she dropped it on the ground. We had to throw it away. She was not happy.
Dad feeding the goats
and a buffalo.
