Maya is 0.75 yr old!

Happy 9-month birthday Maya! You've become SO active lately that you won't even sit still for your pictures anymore! You're SO curious that you want to read what's on the paper. You also now have a HOUSE - you seem to love your new space, your secret hideaway in your room, your awesome backyard and hopefully a new playset!

I'm SO happy (except when I'm sad - which isn't often)

I can't wait till baseball season!

Daddy, you put the sign up crooked!

I just love my mommy - she told me she'd re-create my nursery in Wellesley

At least I know the paint color in ONE room!

You're also starting to TALK - just saying "da da" now - but I've heard "ma ma" a few times too... this video shows off your happiness and talking! We love you SO much and can't believe you're almost 1 year old! You are the most amazing baby - don't change EVER!

Love,
Mommy and Daddy

February!

I've been meaning to post February pictures for a while, but with the house stuff we've been a little crazy! But it was a great month, with lots of important celebrations (like Mommy and Grandma's birthdays!) and an extra day too (happy leap year)!

Here are some of the best pics of the month.

The best birthday present a mommy can get

Grandma's visit!

perfect post-bath hair

Umm, grandma, aren't I a little too young for beer?

Seriously, what is it with the Laichs and beer!?!

I don't know who looks more scared in this picture

Happy Valentine's Day!

8 months already!?!

Big Girl

Maya is acting more and more like a big girl, and not a baby anymore! It's so fun watching her try new things, but I'm sad that she's growing up so fast! She loves standing up and will pull herself up on almost anything! And she's starting to walk while holding on to something - she skipped right over the whole crawling thing!

She's also really started to interact with other babies/kids. She's super popular around the South End - I think she knows more of our neighbors than we do! Here are some pictures that Glori has taken over the past few months. We all love Gloria - she's been amazing to Maya, and to Mommy! I love it when she sends us funny pictures of Maya during the day - they always make me laugh! We're so lucky we found her!

Cool Effects!

Maya meets lots of babies at Barnes & Noble

And she loves to read!

Which one is not like the other?

Maya looks huge next to this baby, but they're the same age!
