Maia is 15 months old now and I let a whole month go by without journaling! Good thing I posted a lot to Facebook. We spent the last ten days in Cali so I’m a bit behind on her update, but I’m often behind with no excuse so I’ll just get to it =)

Maia repeats things at last! While we were in California Ann taught her to say “mmmm” M is the perfect sound for her since it starts Maia and Mama =) So when you say, “can you say Mmmm?” she will! This is the first thing she will actually repeat when asked. She does say several words, but only when it’s her own idea, not when asked to say it before this. She also learned the word “clog” from Tina, which she says when she’s tapping her shoes on the ground. Ironically, she can also say shoe, so two out of her 20 or so words involve footwear. Aunt Jennifer and Auntie Marilyn must be coaching her. 😉 Too bad she doesn’t really get to wear shoes…

Other words Maia says often: Dada, Bath, Berry, Cracker (interesting pronunciation…) DZ, Sis, Door, Boo! (book), Nigh-Night. She’s said Mama once or twice only so it’s a good thing she snuggles me a lot 😉

Maia will give me kisses when I ask for them! I love it =)

She loves exploring outside now! I really need to clean up the yard! She loved it in Ann’s yard in Cali!! I think she’ll get mad now if I don’t let her outside! And for the most part she stopped eating gravel so she learned a lot last week. =) She started putting it into buckets instead, which was adorable.

Ann and I went shopping together, which was SO much fun! We both like shopping for baby clothes =) She got Maia the cutest little hat and romper. I love that Maia has a few things that are just hers.

Maia was very happy to be home with her books this morning! I think she’s brought most of her favorites to me to read this morning. She definitely thought that I didn’t pack enough. She was getting restless yesterday while we were riding the train to get to our next plane. Since I didn’t want to put her down I started reciting some of her favorite books and she instantly relaxed into me to listen. Pajama Time works every time. =)

Maia’s favorite toys are the Magformers and Lego Duplos. She doesn’t really care for most soft toys, with the exception of the soft bunny that Abbey got her. And it has some really interesting textures on it. But most of the time she’s chewing on a book, Magformer, or lego person.

I took this picture because John was napping, but Maia wanted to go out the front door.  She stood by the front door clapping, then she'd run over to him on the couch, then she went back to the door to clap.  Too cute!  He would go exploring with her out the front door and she LOVED it!  =)
