1 Years old!
On Friday Maya turned one year old! We had a party for her on Saturday afternoon. A couple friends dropped by and we had a barbecue out by the pool.
Maya enjoyed having cake...
especially blowing out the candles....
and opening presents....
Maya got some toy blocks, a watertable, some books, lots of things that make noises, some new shoes, a new dress....
A toy tool bench...
and lots more goodies, including a piggy bank to put away her first dollars that came with her birthday cards from her aunts and uncles and cousins.
She's still doing great with her walking and gets more and more confident every day. She can now walk around the room, making turns and (usually) avoiding obstacles. She can carry items around when she walks now and is beginning to enjoy bringing stuff over to give to her mom or me.
She's not doing any talking yet, though she surprised us the other day by saying "mmmmm....chicken" when I was feeding her chicken. At least that's what we like to think she said. We decided that we will be telling everyone that her first word was "chicken"
