2007 , A Look Back

2007 was a very big year for Maya. Many great experiences as Maya continued to grow. So lets look back at some highlights.

In February Maya turned TWO!! She had a small celebration at home, where she got some clothes and a really cool Olivia book among other things. We also found out that we were leaving Maya's birth state of North Carolina and moving to Georgia. So Maya had to say goodbye to all her friends at the great staff at her school.

This was a big growth time for Maya. Her vocabulary took off, she was adding new words daily, and her walking slowly turned to running and jumping. A few bumps and knee scrapes happened along the way, but she powered through her boo-boos with the help of boo boo bunny.

Maya's first stop in Georgia was with her Grandma and Papa, she took up residence with them for most of the Spring and early summer.

firsts:

• Maya made her first visit to the zoo. where she keenly pointed out that the elephants liked to throw poop at each other.


• She made her first visit to a beach. This is not considered an official visit becuase it was February and very cold on the beach so there was no playing in the water.

It was a pretty busy summer. Maya took in a Braves game, and learned the tomahawk chop. The Braves won. She also went to Centennial Olympic Park and got soaked by the Olympic ring fountain. She also learned about opera and performed a nightly after dinner concert for the family. Her major piece was an a capella version of Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.

Maya learned to go to the bathroom all by herself in 2007. She really seemed to grasp the concept pretty quickly. She never used the small training potty, she went right for the bigger version. This was a big time for her because about the same time she gave up her most trusted security item.......the boppy.

The boppy, also known as a binky, pacifier, cork, and plug was Maya's constant companion. She had a green one and a yellow one. The boppies stayed with her until they had just worn out. Maya gave it up on her own when she realized that the boppy just wasnt working anymore and she was getting so big she didnt need it.

That was the first half of 2007, in the second half Maya gets a new room....
