Walking

Maya is walking like crazy now...it is almost rare to see her crawl. It is so exciting and a little sad to see her grow and change so fast. I am having trouble keeping track of the milestones. She is definitily understanding more and more words and starting to say a few. I think "dada" is technically her first word. She does say "mama," but it seems less consistent. We think she is saying "baby" and "book." I swear today she was putting her hands up to me and saying, "pick up" though I am sure it was my imagination getting the best of me.

She loves exploring and figuring things out as most kids do. And I am just bewildered at how she can put hats on her head and she actually figured out how to get Dan's shirt on. Of course I missed the moment, but she got it over her head and the arms through and started walking. Hysterical looking! Much to my joy, she loves books. Just last week I was down in the kitchen washing dishes and she was up in the living room playing around. All of a sudden things were quiet and I ran upstairs. She was just sitting on the floor flipping through a book! Dan and I both love to read, so we hope she does, too!
