Happy 10 MONTH Birthday our little GIRL...


Pic taken at Hannah's Hope before Maya was in our arms...


Maya is 10 months old today. How can that be...she is turning into such a big girl. Talking up a storm. Its hysterical...

Like I always do...here are 10 things daddy and mommy LOVE about our Maya Annabelle Hana:


1. Your smile in CONTAGIOUS!
2. You are a SNEAK. You continuously insist on going to an area of the living room I don't want u to go to and when I look at you to say "No No Maya" you turn look at me, smile and keep going...we are going to have our hands full! :)
3. You are TALKING up a storm. Trying to communicate with us by putting your pointer finger straight up in the air when the tv is off and you make a noise as to say "turn on the tv mommy I want zee and moose a moose"...you do this by making this noise. The same noise u make when u are in the food store and want the balloons, signs anything that you see and want.
4. You are standing and walking with the couch. It is the cutest thing I have ever seen. You are too small to walk! (although we went to the dr yesterday and he said she was 90th % tile for height and 20% for weight...you weigh 17.10 pounds)
5. You are a big girl and doing SOOO much better going to sleep. We rock for a few minutes, say night night and put you in your crib, then RUN to the monitor and watch u play in your crib til you collapse to sleep...:)
6. You are sooooooo affectionate. So, Josh has been away and my mom has been sleeping over! (Yes, my mommy has been sleeping over Praise God she is getting better) and right before u fall asleep you play and then dive into my chest and put your head down. Yesterday you heard Gram come in the room and literally dove into her neck and huged and embraced her. You are a lover for SURE.
7. You are CRAZY over the dogs. When zoe walks by or runs you are HYSTERICAL laughing. Hysterical!
8. You wave bye bye backwards...the only other person my family knows who did that was me...it must be in the genes! :)
9. You crawl with your right leg in a position of standing while crawling. Its a sight. Yes I asked the dr and u are fine but it is very funny looking. Especially now that it gives you speed and u do it really fast.
10. YOU ARE A GIFT FROM GOD. You were the best medicine during this hard time in our lives. Your smile literally made all of us feel better. Your laugh took our worries away for a few seconds and your hugs and kisses are what kept us all going. You are the most amazing little girl Maya, we love you more then we could have ever imagine loving anything. You are our little girl and we love you.

Update on my MOMMY:
We go to the doctor on Tuesday at 10:30 (we, i mean my mom and dad) to see what type of therapy my mom is going to need. We are praying she won't need anything but she might need Radiation...Thank you for your continued prayers.

xoxo

I love how she smiles when you say no no no... You are going to have your hands full.
Your family is still in my prayers, I hope all goes well on Tuesday.

Maya is pretty precious! Her sweet little picture from when she was at Hannah's Hope is so cute. Her eyes look the same - except now they really sparkle. She definitely loves her life :)
