September Fun Stuff...

Wow does time fly. It's been 6 months since our little angel Maya was born. We have been so blessed to have her as a part of our family.

• Her bottom two teeth have been growing in, and are almost all the way there.
  
• She loves to play with her teeth. She will rub the bottom of her tongue over the teeth, and stick out her tongue, or her bottom lip over her teeth,
  
• She has started to recognize her name, and when we call it, she will turn her head.
• She has expanded her eating items. She now will eat squash, green beans, carrots and corn, and will tolerate peas (still not her favorite)
  
  
• She has started to recognize repetition. She knows that when she is in her bumbo, she will be eating, or when she is in her crib she should be sleeping, or on the changing table, that her diaper will be changed.
• She always has a smile on her face when I come home from work.
  
  
• She has started to roll over. If we put something just out or reach and above her head. She can roll from her back to her stomach.
• So cute, she has started to fake cough.
• In the morning (or the middle of the night) when you go to get her out of bed, she normally has a big smile on her face and is so excited to see us.
• When she is lying on her back, she loves to kick her legs. She sometimes kicks so hard that I think she is going to bruise her heals, or stand up.
• She will lie in bed for hours playing by her self until she is ready to get up.
• She loves to talk and tell stories. She mostly says bababab, or dadadada or mmmmmm. Sometimes mamamama.
• I definitely think we have a talker on our hands. Even if no sounds are coming out of her mouth, she is still moving it (like an old woman with no teeth).
• She loves to laugh, and smile.
• She has started grabbing and eating her toes. 
  
   
• Loves to be around other children. Especially when they are running and playing. She laughs hysterically when they jump up and down for her.
• She is now grabbing everything and putting it into her mouth. EVERYTHING. Her favorites seem to be our cell phones, and her toy giraffe. 
  
   
• She sometimes concentrates so hard on the object in her hands, almost as she is memorized by the object. Touching it softly, grabbing different angles. I wonder what she is thinking.
• She seems to only be able to hold one thing at a time, and needs both hands to “investigate”. When you try and show her another object for the other hand, she will drop the first to hold the second.
• Jumping, she loves to jump. We got her a little play yard, and she now loves to play in it for a long time. She will jump so high sometimes we think she is going to get herself out of it. Even when we are holding her in our laps, she jumps. 
  

  
  
  
   
• She has started playing. When Dan comes to tickle her and I am holding her, she recognizes and flinches away smiling, anticipating the fun.
• She now opens her mouth wanting either her food or her binkey.

August Fun stuff

This month has flown by so fast. We have had a whirlwind of fun and excitement this month. We started out the month by going to the local amusement park, Lagoon. We have been to a nearby lake almost every weekend, and even went camping for the first time with Maya.

Fun things she has done this month:

• 
  
  Weighed Maya today and she is 17.2 lbs
• Has 2 new teeth, and only side effect is drooling
• Likes to play with her new teeth with her tongue
• Loves kicking her feet
• She is now almost sitting up... ohhh so close
  
  We set up a new crib for her.  She is now too big for the amaizing cradle Papa made for her.
  
• Has a new bouncer and loves to jump
• Love to laugh at silly children, when they jump around is her favorite
• Learned a new trick. She can pretend to cough
• Reaches and grabs for everything to put in her mouth, favorite is fabric and paper
• Starting to eat oatmeal and vegetables, so far doesn't really like peas
• 
  
  
  
  We took her camping for the first time she loved it and wouldn't go to sleep for 8 hours cause there was just so much to look at.
• 
  
  
  
  She loves going to the lake and being in the water, she especially loves the waves
• 
  
  
  
  We took her to an amusement park and she loved looking at the lights and hearing the music and seeing all the people, but she's still too little for any of the rides. She did get to go on a train and see animals in a zoo and on the merry-go-round, riding a giraffe.
• 
  
  
  
  We also took her to a water park and she liked being in the water so much she even feel asleep in the water.
• She now sleeps through the night without waking up at all (she use to wake up for her binky), We are really happy to be getting more sleep.
• She loves seeing the world around her, and learn new things
