Aubrey's Blog... My family!: August-November

Maya has grown so much in the last 4 months.

She has such a cute little personality that shines through in a different way everyday.
She will run up and down the hall laughing and laughing, waiting for us to chase her, then look back with a mischievous smile.
She has a fake laugh, and when she is trying to make us smile, she will use this fake laugh (just like Dan).
She loves to climb, and jump. She will climb on the couch and wait for me to grab her hand so she can jump off. She will do this over and over.
She is a happy child. She loves to laugh and smile. It doesn't take much to make this happen.
We went to the lake many times with family and friends
She is talking so much now. She will repeat almost everything we say.
She loves keys she wants to unlock all car doors or the mail box. She will ask for my keys and will run to the car.
She always says “Thank you” and most of the time “please”.
She loves to help. She will sweep the floor, put stuff in the garbage and put her toys away.
She likes to push things shopping carts, the lawn mower and her bike
We have taken away her binkey during the day. She knows when she wakes up that the binkey stays in her crib. Sometimes she will sneak back in and suck on it for a while.
She can identify most of our family members through pictures.
She loves playing with balls, kicking, throwing, bouncing... She has a great arm.
She is a screamer.
She sometimes will inform us when she needs her bum changed. She will either point to the changing table, or just lye down with her new diaper in hand.
She loves 2 movies. Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (she calls “Mo Mo” - why we don't know) and Baby Einstein (calls “baby”).
We are trying to teach her to count to 3. She knows that when we reach “three” she gets tickled, so I'll start with “one” and she jumps to “three”
- She was Darth Vader for Halloween.
