So here's to Maya:
Wow! I can't believe you are One year old already! You have officially
entered toddlerhood, are more independent, and need me less .. Which makes me
oh so proud and happy ... and at the same time comes with a twinge of 'my baby is growing up too fast'
sadness.
You love to walk -
so proud of yourself you stop and clap when you walk particularly far or thru/over
some harder obstacles! Love that you have that sense of self-esteem!
I love that you are a bit of a trickster - you have quite the sense of humor! For example, calling me 'dada' when you know very well how to say 'mama', just to get me going :)
Words, words, words! "hi", "thank you", "gentle", "pick up", "baby", "bird", "owl" … the list continues. I am so impressed by your vocabulary already! I love that your most popular words are 'hi' and 'thank you'. and I love that you are super proud of yourself when you learn a new word :)
Food - you love peaches,
blueberries, watermelon, corn, potatoes, avocado, hamburger … and apparently cupcakes :) It is so fun to watch you explore new tastes, and I love that you always want to help me pick strawberries and blueberries straight from the garden (and into your mouth).
