Too long
I know it has been far too long since I've written and posted photos. The hurricane was an experience I'll never forget and has made me much more appreciative of things like cold water and electricity. I have been working too much and am almost to the end of our busy season. I am very much looking forward to only working 3 days a week again.
Maya is constantly exploring and learning new words. About 2 weeks ago she put two words together for the first time. She told Quinton "bye-bye Daddy." She not only walks and runs well now, but she also walks backwards and sideways. She's yet to come to respect gravity and will dive face first off the couch if given the chance. She loves her babydolls and likes to pretend with them. She lays them facedown, covers them with a blanket and pats their backs, saying "shhh, shh."
She is still very much a picky eater. She is good at eating her fruits and grains, but not so big on veggies and meat. She loves bananas and cereal. She will happily tell you "no" if she does not want something.
Her little independent spirit comes out a lot. She prefers to try to do things herself. She likes to spoon her own cereal and try to put her own shoes on. When I tell her it's time for a bath or bed she runs around the room as fast as she can, laughing all the way. Sometimes this amuses me more than others.
Right now we are at Nana and Grandpa's house in Arizona, with my grandmother here as well. The weather is very nice and we have been relaxing. A trip to the zoo is planned for Monday, a first for Maya.
I look forward to posting vacation pictures, Halloween and pumpkin patch photos. As the weather cools, we will be outside a lot more. There is a lot to enjoy. Maya is so delighted by all the new things to see.

Maya and Ike
This was just before we went inside for the storm. We faired well and now have power back.
Toddlerhood
Maya is no longer a baby! She has graduated to toddlerhood. I'm basing this on the fact that on Thursday Maya perfected the word "no!" Prior to that it was always "bo." It was our first trip to Chuck E. Cheese with Holly, Jennifer, and their kids. I wanted Maya to sit so I could buckle a seat belt so I could let her ride the little car. She said "no" and pushed my hand away several times. I did get it on camera, so we'll post that soon. She had a blast at Chuck E. Cheese. She ran all over the place and enjoyed her slice of pizza.
Maya also has gone in the race car shopping cart at the grocery store the last two trips. She feels like a big girl there and has room next to her for her sippy cup and snack bowl. As I type, she is playing with my cell phone. She keeps putting it to her ear and "talking" into it. She makes me laugh!

Words
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.
