She also really likes her sippy cup. She hasn't quite gotten the hang of getting water out of it efficiently just yet, but it's way fun to play with.

We call this "The Squash Series."



Not a fan of squash! Whole grain toast, on the other hand, was much better received.




Maya caught a her first mild cold the week after Easter (thanks cousin Samantha!). It wasn't that bad, but she did still need a little saline squirt to get some boogies out of her nose a few times the first day. Our nanny Jen snapped this picture after some booger-suctioning trauma. Poor little Maya. We're thankful she likes Jen so much!

Sitting pretty on the couch:

Happy and playing in her exersaucer.....


Maya's first two teeth popped through recently. Her first tooth was the bottom front left, which came through about a week before her 6 month birthday. The second popped through a week before her 7 month birthday. Hopefully the next teeth will be easier, as a solid month+ of teething is no fun for anyone! She also practiced sitting up with some assistance during her 6th month, and she's now an expert roller in each direction. She's had some stranger anxiety near the end of the 6th month, but in general she's still very sweet, calm, and happy.
