Who doesn't like chocolate?

I thought it would be fun to have Maya "paint." Whenever her baby food falls on her tray, or she sneezes, she wants to play with the little drops. Today I made some pudding for her to play in to see what she'd do. There was no problem getting her to explore, she went right for it. It wasn't until I showed her how to eat it that the fun REALLY began!

She has never smiled so well for the camera before, it was like she knew what to do when I held the camera up.

Getting started...

Starting to have fun...

Give it a taste...

Licking herself clean...

Happy Valentine's Day

Maya was so adorable in her valentine dress I whipped up for her. We just cannot get enough of this cutie and her goofy closed mouth smile!

Laundry Day!

She was such a cute little helper.

Future Merry Maid?

This is the cutest thing!

Maya was cracking up while Tommy was dusting yesterday.

Who knew dusting could be so funny?

At 6 months our healthy girl is starting to average out...

Weight: 16 lbs. 5 oz. (55%)

Length: 26 1/2 inches (85%)

Head Circumference: 16 3/4 inches (50%)

Sitting like a pro!

Maya has no problem sitting up, she rarely topples over these days. Now, we just need to work on crawling. She won't ever stay on her stomach, she immediately rolls over every time.

Tomorrow is her six month checkup. I'm not looking forward to those shots again!

Look what I can do!

Maya has been sitting up on her own for about ten seconds for a couple days. Today she is lasting a FEW minutes!

Enjoy some adorable pictures of my big girl.

Christmas

We got to enjoy some time with the whole Jensen Clan the Monday before Christmas. There was tons of great food, company, and a visit from Santa.

More interested in Mom than Santa.

On the road again... A few days after the party we took off to Sacramento for Maya's first Christmas.

Maya enjoyed playing with daddy's chips before he ate them.

Grandpa didn't waste any time feeding Maya Egg Nog.
