Milestones




I can't believe February is almost gone already! Maya is hitting milestones almost daily. She clapped a little over a week ago. Then she sat up in her crib. The next day she sat up by herself on the floor. She pulled herself up in the bathtub. I am going to have to get used to all this mobility and be more careful about what she might be able to reach. She has started to point at things. It is funny. And "dada" is still her favorite word. Mama does seem to be working its way into her vocabulary. She has learned how to drink from a juice box container, although I don't give her much juice. She is getting a little pickier with what vegetables she'll eat, but will eat tons of cheerios. We are having fun watching her learn so quickly.

On the Move

Christmas at Nana and Grandpa's

January 16th- 9 months

Maya is becoming increasingly mobile lately. She started rolling around, then began scooting on her tush and now she is starting to do an army crawl. She wants to get her hands on everything she sees. This will mean her mommy needs to have a lot less papers strewn around.
I am working 3 days a week now and Maya is in a daycare since January 2nd. She is adjusting to having so many babies and people around. Napping there is still not easy for her. She is quite content when I leave her there in the mornings. I am waiting for the separation anxiety stage to set in, but won't mind if we somehow avoid it.
We had a wonderful family Christmas and can't believe January is over already. We are excited that our friends, Michael and Jordan, found out this week they are having a baby girl. In June Maya will have a new little friend on our street. She loves when we go to Holly and Brad's house and their children, Abby and Ben, shower her with attention and bring all their toys out to show her.
Maya is continuing to babble. She loves saying "dada" and much to mommy's disappointment seems to ignore the word "mama." She also says "yaya" a lot, which at first I wondered why. Then I realized her name.... Sometimes mommy is a bit slow. Sleep deprivation is still occurring. It is 4:40am as I write this.
