I know you will not believe that I am unbiased, but Maya is really the cutest, smartest, sweetest baby in the WORLD. Just ask any of her Grandparents!! I was too busy enjoying her during my visit over Memorial Day to take time out and get very many photos, but here's a sampling.
Maya's papa thought he'd entertain her by blowing soap bubbles and it was an instant hit! She made valiant attempts to blow them herself, but doesn't have it quite yet. And she loves to play with big people's shoes; putting her feet in and out of them, arranging and re-arranging them.
She has an extensive sign vocabulary: butterfly, frog, dog, more (which she even uses when she's sees a
picture of food!),
all done, water, baby, flower, eat, brush teeth, down, up, dog, and I'm sure there are more! She picked up 'bird' while I was there, and possibly 'apple' (one she and I invented, anyway). I love how she cycles through them sometimes, running through her repertoire. And she is
saying words now: baby and read are very obvious! She has her own way of describing things with wheels: a vroom vroom noise! And a sweet, high pitched and very accurate meow to "say" cat. Good thing their cats are so tolerant!!
I really could go on and on about all the amazing things she did or said! I'll do my best to get a few short video clips posted soon, but this will have to do you for now! Those of you who are lucky will soon see for yourselves what I mean!
