I just cant resist....

This little closed-mouth smile just gets me every time

Some morning Maya giggles & the Maya Wave.....

We're having so much fun and keeping busy. Maya seems to be doing new things every day now. Her newest thing this week is getting herself to a sitting position from her army-crawl and pulling herself up- a lot. She is really into practicing standing!
Here are some recent photos and a couple videos....

Maya with her friends Emily and Ethan- they play together a couple times a week

Here is Maya in music class with a little egg shaker listing to Teacher Nathan sing and play guitar

Maya was playing this little game with me for quite a while the other morning-

9 Months!

We've had a busy couple weeks! Maya and I went to visit Sarah and her family in Jenner, CA (she was visiting from Seattle) & then we headed to Orange County for a stay with Oma and Gramps. We had a really good time and Maya, once again, proved to be a pretty good travel partner (she even toughed-it-out at the airport for many hours while we waited for our delayed flight.) We can hardly believe she is 9 months (I know, I know- I say that every month!) and she is just getting more and more fun. She is making all sorts of fun new noises and is now into climbing onto things and is working hard at pulling herself up.

Here we are in Jenner with Sarah & her daughter Parker and Karen & her new little addition, Brooke who also came up for a visit.

And here is a picture that Sarah took while we were in Jenner
