Maya says "up" now when she is going to stand or to have you pick her up. She says "ow" to get out of the tub or her highchair. She loves to say "uh oh," and she says "Mmmm" when she's eating. It is fun to see her learning new things.

She did it!

She stands! She first stood up all by herself June 19th, and we caught this photo on the 22nd.

Monday the 30th she starts at a new daycare. I think she will get a lot of stimulation there. We had fun when we visited there twice this week. She is a happy girl. She babbles all the time now and is constantly saying "why?" I'm quite sure she has no idea she is asking a question.

What a big girl!

June 3rd- Maya's first meal at the big table. She was so pleased to sit next to Daddy!

June 5th- Maya got her first baby doll. She was very interested in it's toes!

June 21st- Maya is enjoying her new playhouse that our generous neighbors gave us when their kids outgrew it. It is upstairs in our game room.

First Haircut!

May 19th we went to the salon for Maya's fist haircut. She was very wiggly! What a big girl she is now!
She walks holding our hands and cruises around. She's also started crawling like a stinkbug, with her tush up in the air. She is learning to use a straw cup instead of a bottle, but it is taking a while. She has said "bye, bye" a few times now and has signed "more."
We have been swimming a few times this summer, in our pool and in the neighborhood kiddie pool. I am thankful that she likes it a lot. She has also been playing in the sprinklers at the O'Neal's house with Ben and Abby. She has lots of fun being taken care of by them.
