Maia is sure fun and sure challenging these days, definitely exerting her independence…but at least that’s normal…supposedly.
Today she went with Luke and I to the midwife and I got flu shots as Luke taught her “Oh, shot!” which came out like you-know-what. Now she’s repeating it over and over. We were laughing hard while staring at each other with huge eyes 5 minutes earlier when for no reason she threw a book on the ground, yelled NO and tantrumed on the ground. Ah, parenthood.
Here are some good ones from the last couple months.
Her two favorite activities: naked time and reading. Besides screaming, a current favorite for all…NOT!

I often find her here, in the nook in her closet.
Halloween: Maia was a flamenco dancer. She decided that day she hated cameras so this was a miracle shot.
She was going to be a dog but refused the hat so we used the flamenco hand-me-down. Here I snuck it on her as she looked at a pic of her favorite springers (Love you, Rob, Leslie, Juan, and Deuce).

We’re both growing!












































































She can put stuff in the little trunk, too.


Ah, there’s the beans. Thanks, Mom.
And tofu, she almost chokes eating it so fast. Still no apples.
