miniature

Doesn't Maeve look so teeny here? I mean, she IS a good bit smaller than Bran, thankfully, but not as small as the perspective in this pic makes her seem. She looks like a tiny little doll. It makes me laugh. Look at that itty bitty noggin! And the itty bitty rest of her next to my huge boy! This itty bitty lassie has already stood TWICE all by herself. Yep, you read that right. Just stood up, let go and balanced for many, many seconds. Okay, I know it's not that amazing to the outside world, but to me, wow! Awesome! And she still has no teeth. Coming up on 8 months old and no signs of 'em. Even her drooling has eased up. She may be destined for a lifetime of smashed lentils with ground cukes and yogurt. Maaaaybe a chocolate shake when she's really, really good. And, of course, lots of paper. Because, you know... that's the BEST snack, according to Maeve.

Hi! heeheehee ... that is very cute ... she looks so small ... bet Bran likes how BIG he looks! Good job on the free-standing Maeve! She's only 7+ months ... what is she thinkin'? ... putting all her efforts into mobility instead of teething... I like your lentil recipe!
Love, Mom (Dad too) xox

lol, she does look super tiny in that picture! I can't believe she is already standing on her own, that is so awesome. Way to go Maeve!

Bran looks like a giant next to her. No teeth? I wonder when they'll come.

He's only 3 years older, how does he look so big already?!?

That is great. I think Bran looks more like a giant, than Maeve a tiny doll. How did that happen?

Hahaha! Totally hilarious!
Wow, Standing already!!! Go Maeve!!! She just keeps upping the bar :0) I'll mention it to Aoife, see if she feels like trying, ha ha! Liam's been trying to get her to stand on her own, no such luck.
She has two little teeth on bottom though. Those lentils do sound very yummy! Wow! Bran's going to be 4 in 2 months!!! Crazy!
