It is amazing, our little peanut is just blossoming. She is saying new words, showing her personality and getting more teeth. But she is still just a little button, so tiny with such a big presence. Maia's vocabulary and sign language is growing steadily. She is showing off her smarts all the time and its so fun to behold. Last night, I told her that we were gonna get into our pj's and then I'd give her a cookie. I showed her the sign for "cookie". She did the sign back to me and got all excited. She apparently knew exactly what I was talking about. So I changed her clothes and then Olivia came over to ask a question. So I responded, "We are gonna get our pj's on and then what are we gonna do, Mai?". She looked at me in the eye and smiled big and signed "cookie'!. I am very proud of my fast learner. When I put her in her chair, she signed cookie again and then said, "kuki". Its so fun to see her learn and grow! Today while carrying her into a store she pointed to the sky and distinctly said "bird". She was right, there were 2 birds flying verhead. She has begun to bring me diapers when she wants a diaper change. She has learned so many signs and said so many words in the last couple weeks. She can sign cookie, bread, apple, please, all done. She says da da, starting to make sounds that sound like "Oey" (what my mom calls Olivia), ma ma (sometimes), apple, up, bread, all done, bird, kitten, cow, cookie, and her version of thank you, she started saying "amen" like 2 days ago. She say "ah, ah" when she does something she is not supposed to do and "uh oh" when she drops something. Its just fun. Its hilarious to see her dance, she raises her hands in the air like the family on My Big Fat Greek Wedding and looks like she should say "Opa!" any second. She is just a cutie.
Olivia is so good to her and with her. I couldn't ask for her to be a better big sister. They are so cute together, I am so thrilled that they have one another. Just an update, we love our girlies.
