Playing Outside

I played outside for the first time today. My dad has such nice grass.


I'm getting really fun to play with now. I make all kinds of faces.


Like this.

And this.

Plus, my mom says I'm really good looking.

Six Weeks


Hey Everybody, it's me Maya! I've been doing okay. I was under the weather for a bit, but I am feeling better again. My mom's maternity leave is almost over and I am going to be spending my days with my daddy pretty soon. I am kind of depressed about that, but other than that life is good. I spend most of my time playing with my baby gym as seen below.

One Month Old

Maya's Baby Shower

Mommy's family threw a baby shower for Maya in February. Mommy and Daddy were in Hospers because Maya's great grandpa passed away.

Maya never got to meet her great-grandpa, but Mommy is going to teach her about fishing and gardening, some of the things her great-grandpa loved to do. Mommy is also going to teach Maya to live by her great-grandpa's life philosphy "Don't Worry, and Don't Hurry." Maya's great-grandpa would have loved her, but she knows that he is looking down at her now and protecting her.

Mommy's family, and her friend Randi, got her a lot of very sweet gifts. Here are some photos from the shower.


Maya's First Vacation--Chicago

At the end of April Maya went on her first vacation to Chicago. Maya went to celebrate her Auntie Shawn's graduation and meet some family members. Her family drove and she slept most of the way. One of her favorite things to do is pee when her diaper is taken off. Maya peed on her Grammy P's pants three times, her Auntie's couch, and the front seat of her grandparents' car. She had fun. Her are some pics from the trip....
