Beyond Babyhood

This week Maya made it clear that she won't be a baby forever.

She ignored all of the baby rattle-type toys, choosing more advanced toys, like a truck and a row of pull ducks, even thought she wasn't sure of what to do with them.

She also did a funny thing making her way over to my purse which was on the dining room table for some of her favorite non-toys including my cell phone and box of tic tacs.

Isadora who often brings me lunch, brought Maya her first kid's meal from Panera. Maya devoured half of a grilled cheese sandwich washing it down with organic apple juice and topping it off with strawberry yogurt. Ymmmm.

UP and DOWN

Maya has been very busy this week working on the skills of pulling herself up and getting herself back down.

Tuesday was the first time she greeted me standing from her crib.

Between Tuesday and Thursday I saw significant improvement particularly in her ability to get back to the sitting position once she has pulled herself up.
