Maya - 2 Years Old!

My beautiful little girl is 2 years old. She has the most spunk of any little person I know. Sometimes it is a good and hilarious thing, other times it makes me want to pull my hair out. She brings so much love and joy into our home. She loves her sister, Mama, and Dada, and is fantastic at giving us hugs and kisses. She has some funny quirks, such as needing to be able to put her right hand up the sleeve of her left arm. If she is wearing a shirt that is too tight around the wrist (or short sleeved), she can't fall asleep. She isn't talking in sentences yet, and still signs a lot of words, but she's good at trying to say words when we ask her. She still uses a pacifier, but not as much. She is starting to show signs of being able to be potty trained. I admit I think she's more ready than I am. Every new experience as a mom is daunting at first! She weighs almost 21 lbs now. We will find out height at her 2 year appointment in January (she's going at the same time Brianna has her 6 month). She loves looking at books. She likes to shut herself in her room and just look at her books for a relatively long time. Her favorite breakfast is Snackimals Vanilla cereal; her favorite lunch is ramen, yogurt, Pringles, and fruit; her favorite dinner is soup, pasta, pizza, or pork. She enjoys pointing out large and small objects (calling them Dada! or Baby!). She is, all around, the best 2 year old a mom like me could ask for!

I will let the pictures tell the story of her birthday party. She had one on the 7th with family, and a small party on the 9th (her actual birthday) that included the Davis family. Ryan brought home 12 balloons for her, and she has enjoyed playing with them everyday. She had a Finding Nemo birthday cake - I'm not artist but it turned out cute.

Happy Birthday my sweet doll!!
