March 2011

Wow a year has gone by and we are so blessed, and grateful that we have had Maya in our home. We both agree that this has been the best year of our lives. We have never been happier and that has everything to do with the little angel in our home. She is always laughing and loves to play, you can't help be happy in her presence.

For her birthday we took her out to eat (she loves mashed potatoes). Then we went to a swimming pool, with lots of toys for kids, she loves swimming. The next day we got together as a family and she got lots of toys.

Her favorite toy that she has gotten recently is a little tricycle with a big handle in the back that we can use to steer her around she could do this all day if we let her. She even knows how to use the little bell. Now whenever we walk out into the garage she points at it, wanting to go for a ride.


We went to Maya's 12 month doctor's appointment. She is right on track.

Length: 29.8” 90%
Weight: 21lbs 8oz 75%
Head Circ: 45cm 50%

Fun things Maya has done this month.
* She has started saying words. Mom, Dad, Hi, Ohh, Ya, and No
* She has been holding on to things and walking next to things
* She will sometimes let go of what she is holding onto it for just a second, until she realizes she has let go.
* She is a smart girl... She will bring us a book and hold it until we read it to her
* She will bring me the cell phone and hold it out until I call Dan to talk with him
* We got her a soccer ball for her birthday, and loves to play with it. She will roll and throw it, and chase after the ball.
* She is a speed crawler, so fast that I look away for just a moment and she is gone...
* She points at everything especially when she wants to eat or play with something
* She knows where her “treats” are and will point to the cupboard and grunt until she gets one.
* We have been teaching her some sign language. She can say all done, more and eat/water.
* She will now give her dolls a hug.
* She has a glow worm. We have put it in her crib, at night and in the morning she will press the button to hear the lullabies.
* She is really good at taking everything out of her diaper bag and throwing it everywhere
* Her favorite game right now it to have something in both hands and throw it on the floor, especially her food when she is done eating.
