The Slyngers: December 2011

Pretty stinkin' cute if I do say so myself...

Maya continues to grow and learn so much everyday! Here are some highlights from the last month...

*Sitting is boring! Maya loves to stand and pulls up on everything to practice her new trick. Gone are the days I leave her alone to play for a few minutes. I have to watch this girl like a hawk!

*She's starting to take some steps as she pushes her toy stroller. Up until today, this only happened as we helped support her. Today, however, she did it by herself!! I think we're going to have a walker sooner than we expected!

*Though army crawling is her preferred mode of transportation, we have seen her actually "crawl" on her knees a few times.

*Maya has expanded her bag of tricks to include pointing, blowing kisses, giving kisses and blowing on her food.

*She's starting to understand words and has specific responses when she hears certain words. She'll look and point in the sky whenever we ask where is the moon or where are the birds. During the day, when I ask her where dad is, she looks outside and points to the office! We think she's pretty smart :)

*Sleep is still great and we might be transitioning to one nap...it's a little early, but she doesn't seem to care about following the rules.

Here's a few pics from the last month...
