sentences

Maya is now talking in sentences and its so fun to hear (ok- they are short sentences- but three or sometimes four words together). I'm just amazed at the language & social development happening right now. She talks about her friends often, she has a great memory for details, and is expressing herself really well. We've been frequenting the park - as usual, have made some recent trips to the zoo and it seems like we are in the birthday party cycle. She loves the jumpy house and has been in one the last 3 weekends in a row!

Maya had fun learning this while Oma and Papa were here...

fun, busy week!

Sarah has been in town and I've been lucky enough to spend a bunch of time with her this week. Maya and I went up the coast to Jenner for a day to hang out with Sarah, her parents and fun little Parker. It makes my soul happy to see Maya and Parker together and they had a blast running naked out in nature for a day filled with snacks, art projects and a kiddie pool. I also lucked out with an evening with the college gals and then a full day with just me and Sarah on Thursday (thank goodness for girl time!)

Oma and Papa came into town this week, too, since its Romi's 2nd birthday. We spent the day playing and singing to cutie Romi. It was a fun family day and its been a full, busy but great week.

Maya's language continues to be such fun development. She is really into saying "Oh yeah" and is starting to sing along with songs in the car. She specifically asked for "More Donna (Madonna) and More Usher" the other day and she is so into an English/Hebrew CD we have and often asks for "Song Hebrew." She's funny and spunky and growing like a weed!
