Standing up for yourself!

Extra! Extra! 
Read all about it!
Miss Maia is standing up!
She started with pulling herself up!
First by grabbing on tightly to stiff fingers.
Then by grabbing on to the edge of the crib by herself!


She stood up in her crib for the first time,
luckily mama was in the room to catch her in the moment, literally!

 Sitting position to kneeling to standing 
to wobbling in every direction!

Then she catches her balance 
for a few seconds and 
smiles the hugest of smiles, 
clearly impressed with herself! 
She loves the view from this new position 
and looks intently around the room.

At daycare she surprised everyone by showing off her new skill... 
She wanted to stand all day! 
All the exercise made her hungry and she gobbled up 
her lunch (turkey and veggies), 
finally, first time ever (more food tales coming soon...)! 



 My little monkey is 8 months tomorrow going on 19!
Maia Bonita! Feliz cumplemes!

Time is moving at neck-breaking speed, 
this pain in my neck could be the whiplash!
But the days are filled with so much joy and love!
We're sooo blessed!
Gracias a Dios!
