I’m back.

It’s been a while, but I got my exciting news yesterday afternoon, and you were the first I told. My news means that I am prioritizing my writing to you again!! I’ve missed it… a lot!

You have grown SO MUCH since i wrote last. You have grown in height, in intellect, in wit, and in emotional maturity! I can’t tell you how much I totally love to spend time with you! We snuggle, we laugh our rear ends off, we dance, we make up make-believe songs ALL the time, we “socialize.”

Some Maya-ism’s going on right now:
* You’re still a TOTAL outside girl!! Can’t get enough! And you’re never clean 😉 (I wouldn’t want it any other way!)
* A couple of your fun words are
“echersize” (for exercise)
“dissedappeared” (for disappeared)
* “I love you Mom… to the Sun and Back.. One hundred sixty, nine, twenty, seven, eleven times.” “That’s a lot!”
* Mom? In the morning, will you set up my bed? Because it looks like a disaster. And I can’t yet because I am still little.”
* “Mom? Mom?” I walk in from the other room and kneel down in front of you. “Yes sweetie?” “Mom?” (pause) “I am sooo very sorry.” “For what Baby?” (pause as you gentle stroke my hand) “For all the bad things I have ever done. I am so very sorry.”
* Last night was your first night with no pull-ups at night – ALL DONE! You’re officially a big girl.
* You are very particular about what you will wear each day – and, as far as I can tell, it is COMPLETELY unpredictable!

Okay – here are some recent pictures.

You can really swim – bottom in the air, face in the water and kicking like crazy. You haven’t quite figured out the breathing thing yet, but give it another week! 🙂

I love you Baby… with my WHOLE HEART!!! And then some!
