Maya 1 Year Portraits

I'm loving having a real photo studio space at Erin's warehouse, but it does make it harder to do a 15 minute photo session with the kids.  After much ado though, we finally got a number of photos that we like.  Here's our beautiful little girl, one year old.

Maya is 1 Year Old!

Happy birthday to Maya.  Maya's birthday was a fun evening at home opening presents and reading new books.

Birthdays mean cake too, and Maya had her very own birthday cake.  Unfortunately it had been a bit of a big day, and birthday cake ended up being a bit overwhelming.  Instead Maya enjoyed one of her last bottles in mommy's lap.  

We tried birthday cake again a few days later in Crested Butte.  Round two was much more successful!

Birthday cake was finished off with a good book.  Yea for birthdays!

Well Deserved

As Xander would say, "We had a rough day."

Walking Practice

Maya out for a bit of walking practice.  Don't let the big puffy jacket fool you, it was fairly warm outside, that's body armour...

It's On

Maya is learning all kinds of new skills that are keeping Erin and I on our toes.  Maya is a very confident stair climber, and although she has no idea how to get back down the stairs that doesn't seem to concern her too much, and she hasn't tried to head down on her own yet.  I'm sure that is coming...  She is also getting very good at standing and can stand on her own for up to 30 seconds.  She hasn't started walking yet, but is in hard core cruising mode; if she can cruise to get somewhere, she would prefer to do that instead of crawl.

With all that work she definitely has an appetite too.  Three servings of pasta tonight!

It is so on in the Lewis household!
