random acts of cuteness....

She's all about the cuteness these days....

Peek-a-boo!

Hanging with Grandma!

Wrestling with my friend Alexis!

Rocking with baby!

"Writing" at my desk!
Check out the way she holds her pencil - this girl's got some great fine motor skills!

I'm a big girl now!

On Tuesday, December 5,2006 - Maya decided to start traveling solo! Go Maya Go!

Sorry there is no sound...I don't have a video recorder, so the above was taken with my digital camera. I do enjoy getting the little snipets of video though...perhaps I'll need to think about a digital video-recorder!

Moving!

We are busy packing up boxes for our big move. Yep..it's a rough move...according to Mapquest, the old and the new are all of 1.37 miles apart. I've moved quite a few times in my adult life...but never with a toddler thrown into the mix!

In other news...

Maya is doing GREAT! She keeps me on my toes with all of her new tricks! Her latest is the ability to get from a sitting position to standing - without assistance! Go Maya! I do believe that I will have a very independent toddler on my hands in just a few weeks. There's no stopping her now!

She has done really well the few times that I've left her with a sitter. I do believe she is getting the hang of mom leaving her for a bit. The smile that I receive from Maya upon returning makes is almost okay to leave!

Maya is a very loving little girl. She loves to give me kisses and has decided that all "ouchies" require a kiss, too! One afternoon, we accidently pinched her finger just a tiny bit when getting into the carseat. Ever since then...whenever she hears that click of the harness..she holds her fingers out for a kiss. This girl just won't let it go!!

That's about it for now...once we get settled into the new house (and get our Christmas tree up!) I'll be sure to update the blog with some new pictures!
