As every new month comes and goes, I think the fun we’re having with Maya grows and grows. It’s so much fun to play and interact with her as she gets older and more interested in everything that we’re doing. Her latest thing is that she hates being on her back. Now that she can sit up for long periods of time without any help, she likes to play this way. She’s not a baby that needs to lay on the ground anymore!
Her first tooth is almost halfway in now, too! She’s been a trooper through the teething. Sometimes it seems to really be bothering her, but other times she doesn’t seem to be hurting at all. Her first tooth will be her bottom, right tooth in the front. It looks like the one on the left is just starting to poke out, too. Let’s hope they don’t start to bother her anymore than they already have.
We’ve also been making daily trips to the park right behind our house. Maya gets so happy when we push her in the bucket swing. Her face lights up as soon as you put her in it. She also likes going down the small slide. (With mom and dad’s help, of course.) Sometimes when we get to the bottom she’ll just hang out there looking at all the trees and the blue sky. We’ve been having great weather in Fort Worth lately!
Now if only she could get her naps down, life would be perfect! For awhile she’d been doing down for a long nap each morning, but the last week she’s decided she doesn’t want to be put in her crib for her naps. She’s definitely starting to have a little separation anxiety because she gets upset when we leave the room much more often these days. Hopefully it won’t be long before she figures out that we’re always coming back for her. There’s often work waiting for mom when Maya goes down for her naps, so she really doesn’t have a choice in the matter!
