Finilization and Sealing

We finally have our court date and are counting down the days for our precious little angel to officially and eternally ours.  September 29.  I can't imagine life with out her.  What did we do 4 months ago? 

I have also made the appointment for our family to be sealed for eternity!!  The last week of September are going to be the best ever!!  Timpanogus Temple here we come!!

July Fun things

4 months already. We are amazed at the growth and learning that Maya does every day.  She is now 25” long (75th percentile) she weighs 15.5 lbs (90th percentile) and her head circumference is 41.2 cm (50th percentile).   She smiled at everyone in the office, and was an excellent patient, even with her shots. They said she is very healthy and is ready to start eating baby cereal (fun pictures to come, I'm sure).

Now she can:

• Hold her own bottle (whether she knows what she is doing or not, we aren't sure)
• She has started sleeping mostly through the night. Waking only to get her binky back in her mouth.
• She loves to be outside. Sometimes when she is a bit fussy it will calm her down to walk outside.
  
• She gets so excited that she kicks her legs and wiggles her arms while we are holding her, great soccer practice. :)
  
• She is a smiley girl, she loves to smile, and does most anytime anyone requests. Her smile is big and open, a whole face smile.
  
  
  She has developed a dimple on the left side of her face, just below her eye.
• She is especially ticklish on her collarbone, and almost everywhere else.
• When she laughs it seems to come down deep from her belly.
  
• We took her to the lake last week and placed her in a turtle floaty, this is when we realized that she likes movement, when a big wave would come to rock her, she would smile really big, and sometimes giggle.
  
• She is now trying to talk all the time, we took her to a movie and she tried to talk back at the screen especially during the exciting moments

First garden 2010

This year I tried to grow my first garden. I only have a small pice of dirt to use, about 4 ft by 2ft.   I planted 2 cucumber plants and 4 tomato plants.  These are pics from the first  harvest.  Since then I have picked at least 15 cucumbers.  The tomatoes are still coming.

Aubrey vs. Maya

So everyone has been saying how much Maya looks like Dan... 

what about me?

Maya - July 4th

Maya has been laughing for a few weeks now, but only when we tickle or bounce her. 

The other day we were outside with the neighbors, and their 3 year old boy.  He was running around and jumping, and apparently Maya thought it was the greatest thing.  She started laughing all on her own.  It wasn't just a giggle, it was full on laughing.  HOW CUTE!!

She has also started holding onto her bottle, but only for a few seconds.  I think that in the next few weeks she will be holding it all on her own.  I keep trying to get pics of it, but as soon as I get the camera out, she has no interest in "posing" for me.
