Maya is 28 months old now....and we have been together for almost a year! In many ways, it feels like we just met..and it so many more, it feels like we've been together FOREVER!
Some tidbits of what we've been up to:
- Maya is talking up a storm. Sometimes we know exactly what she's saying and other times, well...I can catch a word or two.
- Tonight, Maya suprised us with counting to ten in Spanish. Glad to see that my hard-earned daycare dollars are well spent! Oh...and she can count to ten in English, too. Interestingly, she frequently skips seven in both English and Spanish! We'll work on Mandarin next!
- Maya and I read stories together in bed almost every night. She now enjoys reading the books back to me. I was able to catch one such reading on tape...it's at the end of this post.
- She is getting much more comfortable in both familiar and new places. She's much less my "velcro" baby and gaining in independence each and every day.
- Although I don't have an exact measurement...I'm pretty certain that she's grown a few inches this summer. The capri pants that went down to her ankles in the spring are now really capri's!
- We spent a lovely weekend at Trout Lodge -- about 90 minutes from St. Louis -- with a friend and her daughter. The girls got along very well and it was so fun to listen to their giggles!
I'm looking forward to celebrating our one-year Forever Family day on October 24th!
