"What does the chicken say?"

Maya went to the zoo yesterday!!! Listen carefully at the beginning...and note that she knows that chickens say "bock" (??or however you spell that!). She spent quite a bit of time with the chickens :) ...a zoo full of exotic animals and I think she had the most fun on the farm with the cows and chickens and goats!

Quick update...

Maya has been busy and therefore unable to post pictures recently....here are a few from the last week. Up top we have the big girl going down the slide all by herself when we visited Nana and Grandpa in Columbus this past weekend. Lots of fun was had by Maya since she was almost the only one who didn't get sick that trip! Good immune system!
..here are a couple more from the morning we spent at the park...sliding and walking Macy...

Down here we have a picture of Maya anxiously awaiting her wagon as Daddy puts it together.."is it ready yet, Daddy??!!" She got right in it when he took it out of the box and went back and forth between the seats, checking everything out :) We are ready to go our first Easter Egg Hunt tomorrow! :)

"Thank you Abuelita! My wagon is AWESOME!!! :)

Do I have something on my face?

This is what happens when you introduce ketchup to Maya and let her explore..... She does like it, though, and it keeps her occupied for a while. Well, until Mommy loses focus for a minute and she dumps the whole container down the front of her :) ...yes, this is a before picture :)

PJ Party at Toddler Gym!

Today was PJ day at Toddler Gym - a class Maya and I go to at the Park District. Here are a few shots of her - and her friend Megan - having a great time!! At the top is Maya on one of her two favorite pieces of equipment -- the boat! Then her and Megan kissing in the play house -- it was too cute not to get on film! Then one of Maya on her other favorite toy - the ladder/slide! At the beginning of class in January, she couldn't make it up the stairs herself - now she's a pro! Then, the last shot I thought it looked like the girls were just chilling and talking :) Fun times!!

Time to start chores!

Maya is helping Daddy paint!!! :) She's so helpful!

New video

...a new video to see what Maya has been up to recently! She working on her words...I think she's up to about 20 or so....these are her favorite:

Some pics...

OK - I've gotten bad about updating...here are a few pics to catch you up on what my little darling has been up to:

We went to a place called Treehouse in Lake Zurich with our friends, the Gorskas! Maya liked it, even though she couldn't do all of the fun stuff -- there was enough -- and now we know we'll have to go back when she's a little older!

After Treehouse, we had dinner at the Gorskas -- here is Maya and her future boyfriend, Zach, running around before jammie time!

Maya's first big gulp! :) ..j/k - she really likes to play with the fast food cups! :) ..and no, there's no liquid in it :)

Cousins taking in a movie and Auntie Jenn and Uncle Dave's house...

Bathtime with her cousins...

Toddler Gym at the Park District! Maya loves to play on the equipment with her friend, Megan!

Nana and Grandpa when they stayed this past weekend while Mommy and Daddy went to Mexico!! ..not the best picture - I think my camera settings were off, but at least we got one of the 3 of them :)

That's all for now!
