TRYING TO ESCAPE.
MAYA AND CANDANCE IN THE JUMPY THING.
UMMMM, I SORT OF LIKE THIS THING. CAN WE GET ONE MOM??
IF ONLY I COULD FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET IN THIS CUTE LITTLE CHAIR.





THIS IS A VIDEO OF MAYA AFTER CAKE AND ICE CREAM. SHE WAS ONE WILD AND CRAZY CHICK. SHE RAN ALL OVER THE HOUSE FOR OVER AN HOUR. I DON'T THINK SUGAR IS GOOD FOR HER. SHE HAD A GREAT TIME AT THE PARTY. MAYA IS A VERY SOCIALABLE LITTLE GIRL. SHE LOVES TO PLAY WITH OTHER KIDS.

JUST A FEW PICTURES!!!

SLEEPING BEAUTY IN HER PAC-N-PLAY!!! THANK YOU AUNT GOLDA FOR THE SOFT PJ'S. I LOVE THEM. I AM STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET MY FEET OUT.

FINALLY THESE SORT OF FIT. I BOUGHT THESE A LONG TIME AGO BEFORE I EVEN KNEW ABOUT MAYA.

NOT MUCH GOING ON THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS. I HAVE BEEN WORKING AND MAYA IS HANGING OUT WITH DEBORAH. WE FINALLY GOT HER "COC" THE OTHER DAY. SHE LOVED LOOKING AT HER PICTURE ON IT.

MAYA 1ST HALLOWEEN HOME!!!

I ALMOST MISSED THIS PICTURE. SHE WILL NOT STAND STILL FOR A SECOND. SHE IS ALWAYS ON THE MOVE.
SHE HATED THIS COSTUME!!! I ONLY HAD IT ON HER FOR A FEW MINUTES. AT LEAST I GOT A PICTURE. SHE REFUSED TO LEAVE THE CUTE LITTLE HAT ON.
MAMA, YOU SMILE AT THE CAMERA. I AM GOING TO READ MY BOOK THAT I JUST WON SPINNING THE BIG WHEEL.
WHY WON'T THIS LADY IN FRONT OF ME MOVE. I HAVE A CAKE TO WIN. GUESS WHAT?? MAYA WON A HUGE FUDGE CAKE. SHE WAS SO EXCITED!!! MY GIRL LOVES SOME FOOD ESPECIALLY SWEETS!!!
DISREGARD MY FACE AND LOOK AT MAYA. SHE HAD JUST DONE HER FACE LIKE THAT BUT DEBORAH WASN'T ABLE TO CAPTURE IT ON CAMERA.
YOU WANT TO GO WHERE AND DO WHAT????

THE HOSPITAL WE WORK AT HAD A CARNIVAL FOR THE CHILDREN'S MIRACLE NETWORK. MAYA HAD SO MUCH FUN!!! SHE WALKED AROUND LIKE SHE OWNED THE PLACE. IT WAS SO CUTE. I THINK THE FISHING GAME WAS HER FAVORITE. SHE DID EAT A LITTLE CANDY AND WAS WILD FOR A WHILE. NOW SHE IS SLEEPING LIKE AN ANGEL!!! SO I THINK I SHOULD DO THE SAME. MAYBE NOT LIKE AN ANGEL BUT JUST SLEEP.

MAYA MEETS ALBUQUERQUE!!!!

TIME FLIES!!!!

WE HAVE BEEN HOME 2 MONTHS NOW!!!! I CAN'T BELEIVE IT. IT SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY THAT I WAS BEING DRAGGED OUT OF THE EMBASSY IN GUATEMALA. I WAS THINKING ABOUT THAT LAST NIGHT. I JUST LAUGH ABOUT IT NOW. WE ARE LEAVING TOMORROW AFTERNOON GOING TO ALBUQUERQUE. I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS TRIP. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME SOME VERY DEAR FRIENDS HAVE MET MAYA. SO, I WILL HAVE TONS OF PICTURES NEXT WEEK.

QUICK POST!!!

I HAVE TO PUT MAYA IN DAYCARE 3 DAYS A WEEK FOR ABOUT 6 HOURS. I HATE TO DO THIS BUT RIGHT NOW I HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE. I AM COMPILING A LIST OF QUESTIONS. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY INPUT.

ONE YEAR AGO!!!

THIS IS A PICTURE OF THE FIRST TIME I HELD MAYA!!!
THIS IS TODAY!!!!

WOW!!! WHERE HAS TIME GONE???? ONE YEAR AGO TODAY MAYA WAS PLACED IN MY ARMS FOR THE FIRST TIME. THIS HAS BEEN SUCH AN AMAZING YEAR. I STILL LOOK AT HER AND CAN'T BELEIVE THAT SHE IS HOME.
