- Lately, Maya has been attempting to sing her ABCs... although the only letters she knows are 'A' and 'B'. The other morning in the car on the way to daycare she sang her own version of the song. 'A', 'B', 'A', 'B' over and over again until she determined that she had reached the end of the song. At that point she got a huge grin on her face, said YAY and clapped her hands. Then she would start all over again. She was so proud! It put a huge smile on my face on an otherwise crappy morning.
- Yesterday at daycare, Maya was the first to wake up from her nap. She decided on her own that the other kids needed books. So, she picked out a book for each of them, walked it over to them and placed it next to their sleeping mat so they would have it when the woke up. Such a thoughtful little girl.
She's really growing up.

Littlest Fan
Maya attended her first Husky game last Saturday (although she has tailgated many times) and she was a trooper. We went in with low expectations and were surprised she lasted until part way through the third quarter. She is very much an observer and there was a lot for her to take in. She clapped with everyone else and loved the marching band during half time. It was certainly a success!
15 months!!
I wrote this post a couple weeks ago, but apparently never posted it, oops.
Maya was 15 months on the 23rd of August. She is very much a toddler and loves exploring life. She is full of energy, runs around the house, climbs on anything we will allow her to and would spend all day outside if she could. She really enjoys coloring, books and music. She doesn't quite understand why people can't drop everything whenever she wants to hear a story. She has a thing for animals; especially fish and puppies. Her teeth have been popping through one after the next, she now has 10 (including all four molars) and the 11th just broke through. Her vocabulary expands each day and she has really been able to verbalize what she wants. She is starting to replace her signs with the words, although when she feels that we are not paying attention or giving her the answer she wants she uses both at the same time to emphasize her point. She knows what she wants and isn't afraid to throw a tantrum when she doesn't get it. She is very particular about how things should be and will spend the time to make sure things are placed just the way she wants them. She is still tiny, she fell off the charts this month at only 18lbs 10oz, but her feet have finally grown enough to wear real shoes! This has opened a whole new world of shopping for me :-)

Catching Up on Life
It's been awhile. Here are a few pictures of what we've been up to these last few weeks.
Playing ping pong
Enjoying her toys.
Visiting with my 'old' friends from elementary school. All the kids; Macie, Maya, Trevek and Gracie.
Meri and Maya have become great buddies.
We took a trip to visit Grammy in Arizona. The kids helped marinate the flank steak.
They enjoyed plenty of pool time in the AZ heat.
Searched high and low for animals in Grams back yard.
Had such a great time playing together - even with spoons!
Sliding at Alex's birthday party.
