*deep breath*
365 (+1) days ago, Little Miss Maya Grace entered our world and changed it forever. I thought I was prepared to be the mama to a tiny person again after so long, but I really had no idea what was in store for me. She has taught me how to be patient and how to communicate my needs to the people around me (read:BOB) and how to put myself and my needs behind that of others.
She has taught me how to appreciate the littlest things life has to offer, and to appreciate every moment as a gift... even the trying ones ;)
And now we have a bona-fide BIG-GIRL on our hands!
She is crawling and cruising around the house, learning and exploring her world with wonder and amazement. She has become quite the picky eater, munching a limited diet of fruit, raisin toast, grilled cheese sandwiches and crackers. Gotta work on those meats and veggies, little lady!
She is developing a super fun personality an has a fun sense of humor. She likes to fake-sneeze and fake-cough, and make her baby dolls smell her stinky toes :)
We made her a birthday crown and she wore it all day :) She has an inherent knowledge of the "birthday week", and her dad is a little concerned that if we leave the crown lying around, it might turn into a birthday MONTH or YEAR!
I could ramble on and on for days about how much I love this little lady and all the joy she has brought to our family, but I'll keep it short and sweet.
I love you, Maya Gracie. Happy Birthday <3
Happy Birthday Maya Grace, it has been wonderful following your milestones!
