We shot this little video when we were out to dinner the other night. It captures Maya's personality quite well--she loves to ham it up for the camera. Oh, and the reason that we told her to "Shh" is because we were in a restaurant ;)

Just a couple of pics...
so that I don't look like a complete slacker. These are from last week...
Maya is currently obsessed with "Baby" and she is fully decked out with stroller, baby bag and most importantly, baby bottles.
Winter has arrived, which means lots of bundling up. This does not come naturally, since Maya never actually wants to wear her coat. She must run warm like her mom and Dziadek. Here she is actually wearing her coat...with the hood, no less.

Rainy Days...
We've had some rainy days this week, and I figured that there would be no better time to put the umbrella and rain boots to work..we had to go inside quickly though because apparently there were dinosaurs outside (someone's new irrational fear).
Maya's time in school has resulted in very good manners. Everything is "thank you mommy!" "sorry daddy!"..last night in the middle of the night Maya was sleeping in bed with us (don't ask) and Kona was pushing up in Maya's space a little too much for her liking. So she asked Kona to get off the bed. With a little helpful nudge from me, she did. And as Kona is getting off the bed, Maya says "Thank you Kony!".

Bubbles...
Maya loves her bath, especially since it is full of bubbles. I think Peter enjoys it too..unfortunately it can take an act of Congress to get her out.

Halloween!
Maya had a great time trick or treating last night...she was very good about saying, "Trick or tree" when prompted and we made sure she said Thank You to everyone. We found it quite humorous that when we would leave someone's house, she would say "Thank you daddy!" Daddy gets all the love...
Here she is before we left the house:
Waiting at her first door (I don't think these people ended up being home):
Action shot:
At one of the homes where you get to take your own!
Sometimes miniature giraffes get tired and you need to carry them:

Halloween Parade
This morning Maya had her Halloween parade at school. I am pretty sure the kids in her class were meant to walk by themselves with the teachers around school, but that didn't end up happening--all of the parents marched with. Maya was adorable as a giraffe--she has two different sets of headpieces!
With her teacher, and the head of school, Miss Denise:

Pumpkins...
I am not going to make excuses any more regarding my lack of posting. It's inexcusable.
On Sunday, Maya, Peter and I went to get some pumpkins. I didn't take great pictures, but you can see she still exists and gets excited about "Punkins!!!".
Peter carved his last night. I think he did a bang up job!

Clemyjontri Park (again)
Determined to enjoy the sunshine of Columbus Day, we headed up to Clemyjontri park. In addition to the huge playground, Clemyjontri also has a carousel, which is great fun for a girl who loves neighs AND music.
At first she still wouldn't ride a neigh, so teacup and bench it was:
We took a little break from the carousel and played on the playground:
After some good playtime, we decided to take another crack at the carousel. Maya decided she was ready to ride the neighs!:

Lazy Saturday...
Last Saturday Maya was very insistent that she wanted to see animals, so we headed to the Reston Zoo (again). She fed some goats and impersonated some sheep:
After deciding she did not need an afternoon nap, we tried to load her up with sugar to make it through the afternoon (for the record, it didn't work):
We also took a trip to Kinderhaus, where Maya is clearly a child not wanting for toys:

Pumpkin Patch...
Please forgive me for my extremely delinquent blogging-with Maya starting in preschool, Baba's return, weddings, etc, I've been a bit distracted. I promise I will be better.
On Tuesday, Maya had her 2 year check up. She's doing great! She's 50th percentile for weight (at 26 lbs) and 80th percentile for height at 35 inches! She wasn't exactly happy at her appointment, but I guess it's a developmental milestone, right? She knew to be unhappy at a doctor's office ;)
On Friday we had a field trip to Cox Farms with her class. She had a good time. She rode on a hayride (she was less than thrilled with that) but very happy to slide on the really big hay slides and meet baby animals (pigs, calfs, goats). Here are a few pictures:
