11 months...

My little baby girl is ONE MONTH away from being ONE!!!  My oh my...where did the time go?!?!


Maya is on fire right now!!  She is learning and growing SO MUCH!  She is starting to understand quite a bit and it's fun to see her respond to different things we say or show her.  
She's learning where her head and belly are and will sometimes point at or grab each when you ask.  
She often gives the appropriate "maya" responses for clap your hands, stomp your feet, give a roar and shout hooray, when we sing the "If your happy and you know it" song. 
She is getting more consistent with her mealtime signs and has used milk, eat, please and all done when asked.
She LOVES animals and gets very excited whenever she sees birds or dogs and is very interested in any other "new" animal she encounters.  We recently bought a beta fish, Rosie, and Maya loves greeting Rosie every morning and automatically signs 'fish' when she sees her.



She's into everything these days so I have a to watch out!  She loves to look through and play in the kitchen drawers...fortunately her favorites are all pretty safe.  But not everything is fully child proof and I think I might say "Maya, no cords, no touch"at least 10 times a day....little stinker.
Reorganizing her food

She is officially on the move and is quite the speedy crawler.  She is learning how to get around the house and will come crawling to find us if we are in other rooms.   She's walking really well holding my fingers or pushing her stroller and has recently started to figure out how to maneuver away from obstacles and around corners.  She not walking on her own yet, but we feel like it could be soon!
Pushing her car down the hall


Musical genius??  Perhaps...

Loves her new toys from Christmas!

Graduated to the big tub!  Bye bye duckie!



Tea party with Grammy!


Best bed head yet!
Just chatting on the phone...


I can't believe we'll be celebrating her birthday in less than a month!!  She brings us more joy than we ever imagined and I'm so blessed to spend each day with this sweet little face :)
