April days (8 months)

Maia came back from New York with a nifty kid-sized rocking chair, courtsey of Grandpa and Grandma. It's a bit big now, but she figured out how to make it move! And she has a new found appreciation for all the things her tongue can do. She greatly enjoys exploring... She spent a good 45 minutes with this bowl, pulling it around the kitchen. I dropped things in, she pulled them out. She also discovered it fit nicely under the (non)island, and slid under and pulled it back out about a million times before I found the camera... and she stopped. She finds daddy's guitar intriguing... She will beat on the box and strum on the strings, and dance along as daddy plays.

NY Trip, continued...

We really didn't take nearly as many pics as we would have liked. I suppose that's part of the trouble of her being on the move. More attention on watching and playing, less attention on pics. Maia met some more of her third cousins. Destiny Faith LJ - just 2 months old! Mason Evan She got LOTS of new toys. Spoiled girl!

Maia's second NY trip!

Having been invited to the wedding of Ray's good friend Gino, we were delighted to have the opportunity to take a long weekend to head out and spend some time with the family. Last time we were out in New York, Maia was 8-9 weeks, and here we are at 8 months! Maia kept herself on the move, and got to explore some new environments. Most importantly, however, she got the chance to get reacquainted with the people who love her! Hanging out with Aaron Feets! Playing with Grandpa ... and Grandma ... and Rachael Cuddling with Aunt Tara This may have been the only time she slowed down...
