My little dancer

Maya loves to dance. Here is a little video of her in her booty shorts dancing. I think she even does a step-touch at one point.

11 months

Maya turned 11 months old last Friday, just 1 month away from being 1! We celebrated by giving her her first pigtails and her first 12 month old outfit. Her personality is coming out so much. She loves to talk, I am not sure what about, but whenever she discovers a new sounds, she will repeat it over and over and get louder and louder. Her newest sound mamamamaMAMAMAMA!! She also loves going outside on the swing, dancing, opening and closing books and playing with other babies.






Maya also learned that she likes to wrestle. She was watching 2 brothers wrestle and came in to intervene and show her own skills. It was so cute and the little boy, Dillan loved it!

first steps

Maya just took her first steps today! She is 10 months old and 3.5 weeks, just shy of being 11 months old. I bribed her with a chocolate chip cookie. The video is sideways.... sorry, but you still get the idea. I just love our little bug, she is a joy in our lives and this stage is just so much fun! She is miss social bug, always loving to be with other babies and children and always loving to be the center of attention when friends are over.

Diaper Cake

I just attended my first of many baby showers for the year, it was for my friend Nicole. She is so sweet, she is my small group leader and someone who has been my friend since I first moved here. I wanted to help out with the shower, so I made my first diaper cake. It is actually really easy and a whole lot cheaper than buying one.
I watched a video on youtube to learn how to make one and what supplies I needed. Then I just personalized her cake with things she had registered for, it was so fun! If anyone wants one in the future, just let me know, I would love to make one.

ba ba & da da

We would like to say Maya's first words are "Bob" & "Dad"..... but in reality she is just saying baba and dada, it is still so cute though. Take a look for yourself.
