It's been a week of good and almost-good with Maya. She seems to have caught a bit of John's cold and has been coughing & sneezing a bit without really getting very sick. At times, this has made her a bit more whiny, a bit more grumpy and a bit harder to to put down to sleep but nothing too extreme and it doesn't last very long.
Maya has been responding very well to me this week and goes freely between John & I now without complaint. She is getting stronger with her walking and has started several new skills: playing peek-a-boo with my family on the video cam/Skype, feeding herself Cheerios, hand-signing more/milk/bed-time, nodding yes/no to my questions, responding to ta/yes/no requests, dancing & she has even started singing! Yes, singing!! I tend to sing a lot around the house and little Maya has started joining in (especially to Madonna). So cute! Although she still hates the car seat, she's managing the high-chair and stroller straps much better now.
On the weekend, Maya got to meet her brother Ryan, sister Erinn & Sam and had a lot of fun with them at Dim Sum. Brother Ryan was over again this evening and played with Maya for a few hours. She really started connecting with him and they had a lot of laughs together.
Maya also got to meet a few of our friends plus the neighbourhood cat, a friend's dog & a little puppy. She took them all in stride and seems to be more of a dog person. I have a great video of Maya & the tiny puppy playing together with the puppy licking her face and her laughing. Too cute! Can ya tell I'm falling?...
Ahhh yes a dog person!
