First Word!

Maya has been exploding with energy this week. She is so close to crawling that I would bet it will be in the next few days. She rolls everywhere she wants to go, but when she tries to crawl she goes backwards. She looks so determined. The biggest change in her this week seems to be how she is interacting with us. The first thing we noticed was that every time she has a towel or blanket within arm's reach she smiles and covers her face. She will sit there patiently and not move it until we say "Peek a Boo". It is fun. She has also found that she likes to wave. Of course when we wave at her we say "Hi". I was shocked on Thursday when she looked up at me, waved, and said "Hi" so clearly. She also babbles a lot - most of which sounds like "Dadda" to me (although Courtney hasn't heard it yet). She has said "Hi" 4 or 5 times since Thursday.
