Noni's UN-biased Opinion

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!

Food is Fun

I got to sit at the table with all the big folks and eat a banana when I was at my Noni and Popi's house! it was sooo much fun and squishy, too! I even got some in my mouth, tho most of it got on my face and all over my shirt and my Papa's shirt, too (he was sitting next to me!) The next night I had butternut squash and it was yummy too, tho Mama fed me with a spoon.

Thanksgiving at Noni and Popi's

I went to my Noni and Popi's for Thanksgiving. I had lots of fun. I got to see my Noni and my Popi and my Uncles Matthew and Jeremy and my Aunt Emily. We played with stacking cups and a yummy plastic star. I practiced standing up and crawled (sort of) all over my Noni. My Popi hung me upside down and it was really fun. We went over to my great Aunt and Uncle's for dinner where I met several of my cousins, including my cousin Grayson (well, she is really my second cousin once removed or something) she is about six months younger than me.
After watching everybody else eat, it was my turn. I was so tired that I fell asleep while eating and slept right through everyone playing a crazy game of Catch Phrase.
