April-July 2011


Maya is now 15 months old. She is learning something new everyday. It is so fun to see and hear her experience new things.

  • Maya was a speed crawler, I have never seen a baby crawl so fast.
  • Started Walking on June 17, 2010 – She is now all but running
  • She will play “Five” with us.
  • She does “Pat-Pat” where she will pat our backs (like a hug)
  • She loves to empty and fill anything. Baskets, shelfs, cabinets, etc.
  • Loves to eat coins (mom and dad don't like it) or anything medal
  • Loves to brush her teeth, which she has 11 all the way in an the 4 I-teeth are all coming in. Maya has never got one tooth at a time. The least was 2 at once, the most was 5 in a week, with the 6th a week later.
  • We went to the Dr for her 15 moth appointment:
    • Weight: 22 lbs, 13 oz
    • Height: 30.5”
  • Dr says she is healthy and growing continually
  • She taught herself what dogs say. She loves dogs (from a distance) one day she heard one barking and made the woof woof noise... So cute. We are now working on other animal sounds (cat, cow, horse...)
  • If you ask her, she can tell you where her nose, belly button, toes, eyes and ears are. She can almost tell where mommy and daddy's are too.
  • She dances with any music (or no music). She likes to shake those Latin hips
  • She is a smart girl. We were sitting at the table, and she was pointing to the juice, but we wanted her to eat her food, she was very insistent, she would point to the cup of water, so we knew that she wanted something to drink then point to the juice, no mistaking what she wanted.
  • Our Little Helper
    She is a lover of ice. This was one of her first words. “Ice” She normally wants the ice more than the drink.
  • She LOVES to read books. Turning pages, and hearing stories... She can do it all day long.
    Papa and Maya reading
  • In May Maya and I went to Arizona to visit “Nana” (Maya’s great grandma). This was her first plane ride. She was great!

  • Maya's favorite toy is her bike. Whenever we go outside she wants to climb onto the bike and go for a ride,
  • She will give kisses. She puckers her lips and says muu- ah.
  • She is copying many noises and sounds that we make. Words or sounds.
  • She says hello to every car that passes by.
