A Week of Firsts!

This week, Maya helped Daddy make dinner for the first time. Well, she actually just helped shuck the corn, but still! She had lots of fun pulling the husk and corn silk off the corn with her dad's help. It was cute.


This week, we also got Maya her very first bank account! We'd been slowly filling up her piggy bank, and we deposited $93 into her new account. Woo-hoo! MIT, here we come! That oughta pay for half of a college text book. ;D

And the most momentous (at least for me) was that Maya transitioned into a big-girl bed last night! We put our old queen bed into her new room, and I painted her walls light, light pink earlier this week. I was nervous that she would get out of bed or try to play with toys or get into some other shenanigans during the night, but she didn't! She cried for about 20 seconds after I shut her door, then she just lay down and was asleep about ten minutes later. She didn't get out of bed or fuss all night! Pete said he did hear her whimper just once, but she put herself right back to sleep. What a relief! I was so worried. Before bedtime, I let Maya play in her new bed, and get used to the idea that she would be sleeping in there. Here are some pictures of the new bed fun that ensued.





I LOVE how Maya says "ribbit, ribbit." It's so stinkin' cute!



And, while they aren't necessarily firsts, here are some other pictures of stuff in general. Yes, Maya loves running around naked before we get our PJ's on. And yes, those are her panties on her head.
