Maya - 18 months

Maya,
You are 18 months old today! I can hardly believe it.
This picture is you in your chair before school. Nesha put your hair in pig tails and you looked adorable.
I always think you look adorable. That's my job as your Mom. You are so funny.
You are starting to play a lot with your cousin Zoe. Both of you are starting to really pay attention to each other, interact and copy each other.

Your favorite food group is FRUIT. You would eat fruit of almost any kind for as long as we would let you. If there is fruit in sight, you want some of it. As I have posted before, you LOVE apples.. WHOLE.APPLES. If I don't remove the core, you will eat that too.

You still love your blankies and your quack-quacks among other things in your bed. You have a new "Zeba" (Zebra) that you really love a lot too. When you wake up in the morning or after a nap, you like to bring arm fulls of stuff with you from your bed.

You are Wild. You learned some of your wild behavior from your older brother Mason, but some of your wildness is just you.

You say EVERYTHING. You sing your ABC's, (with some letters missing), Old McDonald, and my new favorite Jesus Loves me, (you repeat "Yes, Jesus loves me" in the sweetest voice I've ever heard) and you count (with some numbers missing).

You are tough. It's a good thing, since you are wild and you have a big brother.

You still LOVE to read books. Your favorite books are torn apart from so much use. You can read several books by memory. I think you are super smart!

You also still love the sand box. If you get the chance to go in Hidy and Gigi's back yard - you head straight for the sand. You could sit in there for hours.

I want lots of hugs and kisses from you - but you are really too busy for all that mushy stuff. I can usually get a few good kisses and hugs from you in a day though.
I love you little Pita - stop growing up so fast! Mama
