the Chico life Reid style

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!
