Hi Peanut –

I’ve been meaning to write you lately. I have so much to share with you…

A couple days ago was your first day at your new daycare. It’s close enough that we can walk there in the morning and walk home in the afternoon. It was not the best first day, but it hasn’t gotten much better since. The two infant teachers M & O work so well together and really seem to love what they do. O is even fluent in Spanish, and she plans to speak to both you and one of your classmates in Spanish. You have about 5 other classmates. I have only met three of so far, Levi, Griffin and a little girl named April. So far you are the youngest of the clan.

Here was today’s report from M, the infant instructor:

“What a wonderful day! Maya had so much fun! She loved playing w/ the kids and toys and watching them move all around the room – though sometimes she would get frustrated and want to crawl after them – Soon! She gets so excited at lunch time to sit at the table and eat with the gang – full of smiles!”

How great is that!?!? And then, when your Daddy & I picked you up, you gave us the BIGGEST smiles and giggles! You were so excited to see both of us, and we were so excited to see you! Your laughter is totally heart melting!

This is you in the backseat of a 4-person stroller. What a trip!

You are ALMOST crawling! You are up on your toes and hands, and you lunge forward to get at something. You can pull yourself to standing by holding on to something or someone. You are a VERY stable sitter now. And, just as always, you are so curious and studious. You love to study new and interesting things. It’s so fun to watch you!

More soon… We love you!
