Happy New Year!
I hope the new year is treating you well. Maya brought in the New Year by....sleeping! She woke up at 11:45 and I spent 13 of the last 15 minutes of 2009 rocking her back to sleep, thinking it would be only fitting for me to close out the year doing what I've spent so much of the last six months doing. Fortunately she was asleep by midnight and I made it back downstairs in time to see the ball drop - a good sign for the new year, perhaps?
We spent both Thanksgiving and Christmas in Indiana with our families. She loved the airplanes and spent the flights reading SkyMall magazine and discovering her new favorite beverage: Ginger Ale. In Indiana she had a blast with all of the relatives we spend so much time missing. It was especially fun to watch her interact with her cousin Owen who is just five months younger than she is. She was, of course, showered with gifts, but our favorite moment from present opening was when she saw the bubble wrap surrounding one of her gifts and couldn't believe her luck!
She continues to amaze and amuse us each day. Her English impeccable and she recently learned how to rhyme, spending most of her day saying things like, "body/potty-those rhyme!"
Recent favorite quotes include:
Pediatrician: How are you feeling today Maya?
Maya: I don't think I need a shot. Nope. Don't think so.
In response to reading about dogs in "Go Dog, Go!" riding a rollercoaster:
"I'd like to try that someday...when I'm a dog."
We are excited about beginning our first full year with our sweet girl and wish you all the best for 2010.

More from LegoLand
I realized that most of these videos are action shots and that you can't hear her cute little voice, so in this clip you can hear Maya and Sean talking about the Maiasaurus mommy and babies at LegoLand.
It's Called A....
One of the many things she experienced on her first trip to the Mall Of America last weekend. This was at LegoLand.
Birthday Dance Party
Now that you've seen her Turbo moves I think you're ready to see her freestyle. This was at her birthday a few weeks ago when Adam and Amanda set up a toddler style dance club. Maya'a dream come true.

TurboBaby
After 4 months without officially exercising (I did a whole lot of carrying a 40 lb cutie around though!) I decided to get back in the saddle again and pulled out my TurboJam videos this morning. Knowing Maya loves dancing more than anything I thought this could be a good family activity and was really disappointed when she was not into it at all. I finished it up, turned the tv off, and five minutes later she was requesting "the dancing movie". I turned it back on and this is what happened next.
