Maya's First Snowstorm

Maya got to experience her first snowstorm much earlier than we expected!  She seemed a bit perplexed and concerned about it.

Maya- 6 months old!

Hello everyone.  Can you believe that I'm 6 months old.  The first thing you might notice is that this month I learned how to type!

My mom wants me to report that I'm typically sleeping much better now.  I've slept through the night quite a few times now and am starting to take some good long naps.  However, some days I remember that playing is much more fun than sleeping.  I really like to play!  Some of my favorite things are my...
1.  Dogs- Dexter & Rose- I love to watch them play!
2. Around We Go Activity Center
3.  Jumperoo
4.  Superstar Sing Along Stage
5. Winkle
6. Carter's Bunny- thanks Aunt Tracy
7.  Baby Starters Sugar & Spice Doll- Thanks Mimi
8. Wubanub caterpillar- Thanks G.B.
9. Leap Frog Learning Table
10. Lamaze Hippo
11. And of course my family!

Here I am trying to eat my Leap Frog Learning Table- too bad it didn't fit in my mouth.

My dogs are always around me- especially when I'm doing tummy time!

This month I began eating solid foods- it hasn't all been good.  I tolerate oatmeal and sweet potatoes.  I like rice cereal. I absolutely despise peas (so much that I cried that first time I had to eat them).  My mom keeps telling me that she made some apples for me to try but I haven't seen them yet!  I eat twice a day right now- breakfast and dinner.

Here I am eating some oatmeal!  My mom says that I'm not the neatest eater but I think that her expectations are too high.

This month I also began sitting well.  I can even sit unassisted for a few seconds.  I then usually topple forward or backwards- don't worry though- I'm tough.  Oh, and if you didn't see the earlier post- I also learned how to suck on my toes!

Of course, I'm still as cute as can be!

Tomorrow I have a busy day!  I have a play date in the morning and then my 6 month check-up.  I hope the doctor doesn't stick me with that needle again!  Ugh!

My mom asked me to write that she'll update the post with my height and weight.

** Update from Amy:  Maya had a healthy 6 month check up.  She weighed 15.4 lbs (@ 35%), was 27" tall (@ 85%) and her head circumference was 17" (@ 70%).  She did not enjoy her shots at all and let the entire office hear about it.

Maya in the Bed

Dave tucked Maya into our bed in the morning after she got up. She seemed to be thinking, "This is great, you should let me sleep here all of the time!"




Here's the family. The picture was taken courtesy of our neighbors and good friends from high school. While this was taken, the dogs were venturing into their house!




I (Amy) had a good birthday today. Maya was the first to wish me a happy birthday with a midnight wake up call. :-)

I can suck on my toes

Why hello there everyone. I wanted to show off my latest party trick- I can suck on my toes, can you?

Don't worry, I only do it right after my bath when my feet are nice and clean!

Maya eating sweet potatoes!

Please excuse the cameraman's enthusiasm!

Maya Rolling Over

I apologize that it's grainy.  

I made it that way so it's not such a large file.

Swing

Wheeee! I love my swing. Thanks Uncle Rich for hanging it for me!
XOXO,
Maya
