Maya has been so much fun the last two days. She is talking non-stop and demanding constant interaction. She loves to stand up "on her own" (meaning you hold her under her armpits but she carries her own weight). She is even sitting up with just a little help to keep her balance. Maya smiles constantly and has figured out that it excites mom/dad a lot when she does it.
Her eye/hand coordination is improving and yesterday she managed to not only hit daddy's glasses but also get a hold of them and rip them off.
Her absolut favorite toy right now is her little book that you can see next to her on the picture. She loves looking at the pictures and having mom/dad describe it to her. The poor girl must be getting confused as the same thing has three different names such as ladybug=nyckelpiga= ? in Chinese. Her favorite page is the ladybug picture and she talks a lot when we show it to her.
She is sleeping a lot less during the day now and stays awake most of the time. The great flip-side of this is that she now sleeps for about 5 hours straight most nights. Just 5 hours of straight sleep is enough to feel like a human being again. :)
