I have been behind in posting about Mary. At 4 months she just started to grab toys and is getting better and better. She loves lying on her activity mat and trying to grab the toys I hang from it. She can also roll over! It was so cool to see her be able to reach things she wants and she is learning to make more decisions for herself. Now she can grab the toy she wants instead of playing with whatever I give her.
Brian and I went on a Cruise over the 4th of July holiday and Mary had a great time with Grandma and Grandpa Olson. She got used to drinking formula and using a bottle which before she would take occasionally but would not like it. They took her to our ward breakfast and she held onto a small flag the whole time. She also went to a fireworks show and loved seeing the bright lights. We got her a nice blue dress in Mexico with pretty embroidery.
We had a great trip to Washington. It was nice to see everyone for a little while. This was Mary’s first airplane ride and she did very well. She mostly played around, ate once, and took a short nap. There was a very nice lady sitting next to us who kept her entertained. Mary definitely liked being around the other Satko babies. It was a whole different experience for her because the only kids she sees often are elementary school age. Blake definitely likes his space. Whenever Mary would get close he would push her away. They had a nice long distance relationship. Mary had fun rolling around on the floor with the other babies and sharing her toys.
Mary finally got a little lamb. She loves to sleep with her teddy bear and lamb. They comfort her. We also put her in the dryer and she had a great time. Don’t worry, we didn’t shut the door.
We went to Seaworld San Diego with Brian’s cousin Eric and his wife Desi who were about to move to Arizona for medical school. Mary loved to look at all the fish in the aquariums and the shows were pretty great too. We even got to sit in an ice cave. The day was pretty hot so we got Mary’s blanket soaking wet and she loved to play with the wet blanket and it worked well to cool her down.
Mary loves her baths and even more loves being wrapped up in a towel after her bath. I love to see her smile and laugh when I rub her all over with the towel.

Oh she is so cute. I can't wait to hear about her at 5 months. When I first saw the picture of her and Ethan on the play mat I thought she was Evelyn then I remembered that Evelyn wasn't here at that time. I guess they do look a bit alike.
