Wow, 2 posts in one week. I couldn’t resist showing you Maia with her new toy: learning to walk with the pusher/car thing.
She can put stuff in the little trunk, too.
When she’s REALLY practicing walking, she goes back and forth between me and Luke or Suzie and then gets a huge hug and kiss with each arrival. She’s at about four steps now!
The girl loved her beans and tofu. Check out the progression:
Ticked she has no beans, even though there is sweet apple on the tray. No thanks.
Ah, there’s the beans. Thanks, Mom.
And tofu, she almost chokes eating it so fast. Still no apples.
Here’s Maia’s new buddy, Libby MacGibbon:
And two fun videos, playing with Mimi and playing fetch with herself in Fresno last weekend.
She discovered the stairs there last weekend and now back at home she is trying to duplicate all the fun on one stepstool…
Oh, and one more, cute dress, cute smile. Yay Maia!
Maia is approaching her 1st birthday and she’s got lots of skills to prove it.
Soccer: she loves to play with balls (in fact “ball” may be her third word, after “uh-oh” and “meow” which may not totally count anyway…are they in the dictionary?). She somehow figured out the black and white one is for kicking! Luke has been bragging to the soccer coaches at work.
This next video I cut up because it was mostly Luke playing…
We are taking swim lessons and she is learning to go under! Notice the mini flippers?
Climbing is fun, even when we are exhausted.
Learning Spanish…actually Maia just loves to spread these flash cards all over the house. (I found two grammatical errors in the set!)
And of course standing and wanting to walk all the time! Our backs hurt. I had three videos of walking (with help) but one was naked and two were sideways (Luke hasn’t figured out videotaping apparently, it’s not like a camera…). So here’s just an evening shot with some standing, dancing, and uh-oh. She is at her wildest right before bed!
