Emily is a very sweet, very helpful... and also very 'capitalizing' (she picks out Christmas presents for Maya that are really for her) big sister! So far so good with the adjustment of a new little one in the house. And Maya ... well, she is bright, alert, and does not miss a thing. She mimics faces and sounds she hears all the time now and it's quite entertaining ... and means we are often telling Emily "inside voice" since Maya will match her big sisters volume level :)
Emily's fourth birthday is coming up and it's all about 'Frozen' ... and so I have ordered frozen cupcake toppers, frozen cupcake wrappers, frozen cake toppers ... and so many other frozen things that I am all 'frozen' out :) Emily is sure Maya wants frozen dolls too ... LOL. This past week we went shopping for a 'big girl bed' (twin) - she is currently in a toddler bed - a reminder of how big she is getting!
Maya just turned four months and she's very mobile - rolling all the time - and very vocal - she talks a lot now :) She has also gotten really good at mimicking - we noticed a new face just the other day - and I realized it is the face I have when I cut her fingernails She is quite social and loves her 'friends' at daycare ... her favorite thing is to interact with people - especially when they talk to her. she likes to read books and look at mirrors, and suck on pretty much everything. She's now grabbing hair, faces, and more and pulling them in to suck on them :) Pretty cute. One of her favorite places is still the bjorn - which is where she is sleeping now. She has also become a bit of a snuggle bug, which of course we LOVE :)
Time is flying so fast and our days feel so busy. I feel so blessed to have such an amazing little family. I wish I could press 'pause' on our busy life sometimes .. but I can't so I try to enjoy the time we have together as much as possible. These months and years are flying by so quickly ...
