It’s been a very busy month. Maya started out by taking 3-4 steps on 3/8. On 3/15, she got a new tooth. By 3/14, she was taking 5-6 steps. She was also walking with her ride on toy. The funniest thing was to watch Jayden on the ride on toy, while Maya walked behind him and if Maya fell down, Jayden would back up and “pick her up”. On 3/20, Maya was rushed to Urgent Care. She was home with Esteban and Jayden and lost her footing. She crashed right into the corner of the wall and instead of stitches, they used glue. I was so sad when I saw her. She had the tiniest of bandages on her little forehead. On 3/22, she up and decided she was going to be a big girl and take 15 -20 steps twice in one day. By her birthday, she was walking with ease.
At her check up, she was weighing 21 pounds, 13 ounces and measuring 29 ¼ inches long. We moved her from the infant car seat to Jayden’s convertible seat and now Jayden sits in his big boy booster seat. Maya is no closer to sleeping through the night than she was when she was an infant. Perhaps, I should notify her that she’s a big girl now. Hmmm. I still nurse Maya and haven’t really decided whether or not I want to wean her yet, but I have definitely been thinking about it. No real words yet but Maya makes the ma and ba sounds. She responds to her name and even cries when Jayden gets in trouble.
Here's Maya after the bandage fell off. This was my first time seeing the wound and I was so heartbroken. The doctor assured me it would heal well and fade over time. Good thing she's a girl and can wear cover-up. LOL
Here's the birthday girl. Her birthday button, sash, and shoes didn't last long. I daresay, they were on long enough for this picture. I never even got a chance to put her tiara on. She flung it right off.
Here's the birthday girl with her brother and cousin. I must say, she was very tired. It was dangerously close to bedtime and she wanted to nurse so bad. The cake kinda covered her face a bit. If we hadn't been rushing, I would have probably raised her seat a little. Oh well.
Here she is eyeballing the huge princess balloon that Titi and Tio brought her. I'm pretty sure she has no idea that what is sitting in front of her is a delicious coconut cake with cream cheese frosting. Poor girl.
After the birthday song, there was no candle to blow out since there wasn't really a space for it on the "castle tower". So I cut up a wedge and gave it to her. My dad held the plate in front of her and she dug her little hands right in and it was hilarious. She had frosting on her fingers and she was clearly confused. Should I lick my fingers or keep shoving the cake down my throat. Jayden was calling out, "Oh man!" and poor little Aiden was trying to be patient while he waited for his piece, but he just looked really sad.
After cake and changing out of sticky cake dress, I fed Maya and we opened presents. Of course she wanted to chew her way through the wrapping paper. 
Here's Princess Maya with Mommy and Daddy. Don't mind my hanky. It was really humid out and I was trying to protect the hairdo I had gotten the day before.
Jayden was being a party pooper, but finally we got a picture of him actually looking at the camera.
God bless you, Maya Isabella!
