She is full of personality and does not hesitate to make her opinions known. She really enjoys coloring, playing with playdough and dancing to music. Our nightly routine is made up of some combination of these before bed. She is starting to learn her colors and can pick out the letters A and B in her books. Her vocabulary expands every day and she has started to string together a few two-word sentences. We have entered into a phase where everything is "mine" which has made play dates very interesting. I can't wait for this to end. She likes to go around the house and point out what is "Maya's/Mine", "Mommy's" and "Daddy's".
She has decided she doesn't believe in sleeping anymore and wakes up between 1:30 and 2:00 every night. At that point she throws her blankets and animals out of her crib and starts yelling (screaming) for Mommy. I also can't wait for this to end. We need sleep!
She showers us with kisses and hugs and has learned to say I Love You.
Here are a some pictures from the last few weeks.
Here she discovered the clothing in her drawers and had me put on a pair of overalls, a skirt (hidden under the overalls) and a pair of shorts and shirt as a hat. All over top of the PJs she was already wearing.
We received a significant amount of snow Thanksgiving week. Rey and I were excited to bundle Maya up to go out and play in it... unfortunately she had other ideas. This is about as close to it as she would go.
Dancing before bed time.
Playing with bowls of rice.
And although she does think everything is "mine", occasionally she is great at sharing. Here she decided the kitty needed a toy, a pillow, a blanket, her baby, a broom and a bean bag chair. She specifically picked out each of these items and brought them over to Meri as she sat on the ottoman.
