Our friend Rachel made Maya this adorable devil hat. We think it really suits her personality.
All done with hat!
In early November we took a trip to Albany to spend time with family. Along with Grandma, we took Maya and Maya's cousins, Kyle and Samantha, to the Schenectady Museum. They had a blast. The biggest hit was this little kitchen area. They could have spent all day there.
Then we came back to Albany again just before Thanksgiving on our way up to Vermont. Maya had a great time playing at Kyle and Samantha's house. Besides all the cool toys, her favorite person, Kyle was there!
We actually didn't get any pictures of our Thanksgiving adventures, but Uncle Jeffrey got a few. We had a great time in our house at Hawk Mountain with the Sumber crew. We had great meals, and lots of relaxing!
On our way back home we stopped at the Northshire book store in Manchester for lunch with our favorite Vermonters, Jenn and Jude. This is Jude - he is 4 months younger than Maya. Isn't he a cutie?
The kids had a great spot to play for a bit before we headed to the indoor farmer's market to see Jude's daddy, where he sells fudge. Yes, we did take home some fudge and it was delicious!
We took a bunch of video after we got back home. Here is Maya trying to pet Stanley, but getting shot down.
Here she is pushing her walking toy around and asking for help (which is her new favorite word):
Just being chatty:
Playing in her wagon:
She finally figured out how to turn on her ABC puppy and she's soooo excited about it!
Playing with the wagon again:
And the big news around here is that, at 15 months, Maya finally started walking. She's not a fan of an audience and much preferred to walk on her own timetable, and without any pressure. And, in case you haven't noticed, she's completely obsessed with her pacifiers. In order to encourage her to walk on camera, I put a pile of pacifiers within walking distance.
And here's Maya showing us that she loves music!
Just being funny:
