very late V-day pics...

                                                                                                                                               I got the hint and am FINALLY posting the few pictures I have from Valentine's weekend.. Matthew and I had a great time and look forward to seeing everyone...especially Miss Maya.. very soon!!! 

And the Winner Is ...

Aunt Emily gave Noni (her mommy) a picture frame for Christmas, so she (my Noni) could put a new recent photo of me (Maya) in it. Noni decided to have a contest among my uncles, aunt, and my Papa to see who had the best photo. Of course it was rigged, because my papa had many more opportunities to capture the perfect photo. It would be a bit easier for him, if I hadn't learned that there was a baby (me!) in the camera and video camera and come running for a look whenever he takes them out!
Aunt Em voted for the one of me feeding Noni at Thanksgiving, but Noni really just wanted a recent, close-up of me! SO Papa submitted these entries and guess who won!?!
























This one was a close runner up (what expressive fingers and intense concentration!)














But The Winning Entry (already used as Aunt Em's and Noni's desktop background) is ... drum roll, please is ... (btw, have you seen or heard me play Papa's djembe?! I am awesome!) is ...



WHAT A SMILE!!











Look for videos from Valentine Day weekend visit with Noni and Bubba, Aunt Emily, and Uncle Matthew and Aunt Ally SOON. hint, hint.
