What a difference a day makes!

So yesterday, Maya totally didn't get this toy...she knelt behind it and pushed it on her knees because it moved too fast for her to walk behind it. Today, I'm in the kitchen and I turn around and here she comes, walking behind the thing like she's been doing it forever!! :) ....Walking is getting closer !! :)

I met Santa!!!

That's right...Maya met the big guy himself, today!!! She was perfectly happy on his lap....and eventually smiled with some peek-a-boo activity behind the camera! :)
Yay! Another first! :)

I love you, Macy!

Maya and Macy have a very close relationship :) We are lucky to have found a dog that is laid-back enough that I don't worry if the 2 of them are alone together...or if Maya has food that Macy wants...he is very gentle with her (he must know that he will eventually get the food that she has, anyway...). And, please, no comments about the licking of the baby. I know it's gross and we try not to have it happen, it just can't be helped sometimes....and Kevin took this video and he thinks it's funny.

Guess what??!!!

Maya got her ears pierced today!!!!!! Yes, to answer everyone's question...she cried. For about 5 minutes and then was over it. It was, in fact, the worst I've seen her cry in her 11 months of life (she hasn't really been a cry-er...) I mean these were gasping for breath sobs :( But...as the pain subsided she was fine and crawling around Claire's while her cousin screamed her head off getting her ears pierced!! :) Here are some shots of the day:

"See Nana? I'm fine!!!"
