This is what we hope Maya will do on her 1st plane ride tomorrow!
We love how she always has her hands up by her mouth - she does this in the Baby Bjorn too. So cute!

Sleeping peacefully
Baby Lulu!
Who would have ever thought that Baby Lulu would make it all through 4 Brooks girls???
What fun to have it for Maya!
A button did fall off of it the other day though...very sad!
Ready to conquer the world!
She loves to lay on her back and move her arms and legs all around - this picture really captures her typical smiles!
I love my aunt Darby!
We had so much fun with Darby this past week and Maya really got to know her. She especially liked Darby and Daddy's Roger Rabbit dance moves and Darby and mommy's singing...
What a special visit and how great for Maya to get to know Darby at such a young age!
All smiles
Maya is the happiest in the mornings after eating and she makes the cutest cooing noises. She is still making laughing noises just like her cousin Taryn and she even learned to roll from her tummy to her back when Darby was here!

Maya and mommy in the city
We all had a fun day in Seattle yesterday. Maya LOVES the Baby Bjorn and it is perfect for a day in the city. Here we are at our favorite city park with the Puget Sound behind us.
We went to the market, the park and to Cheesecake Factory for lunch. Maya was quite the conversation piece everywhere we went - strangers always comment on how tiny she is. We think she is up to 9.5 lbs. now though - she is definitely growing and getting a little belly too!
What IS that?
What is that bright light in the sky? I can barely see, they should do away with that, whatever it is. But I just can't stop looking at it...
Maya's first dress!
Here, Maya wears a pretty purple dress with lots of ruffles and a lovely purple bow in back. Hidden beneath are matching purple bloomers. Dresses are all the rage for women of all ages this fall, even popular in the 0-3 month crowd.
And, look at Maya's hair - it's getting lighter and lighter!

Maya's Happy Time
Maya has her "happy time" in the mornings after eating and she is so much fun!
She has been smiling at us intentionally this week, but we think she smiles and laughs more at things like random spots of light on the wall, so our heads aren't getting too big!
She likes to look at Rosebud the soft pink elephant and her monkey keys too.
And, she is making all sorts of laughing and cooing noises - so cute! She still does the one that sounds like Taryn, just trying to be like her big cousin.
I love my mornings with her!

Looking around
Maya loves to be held so that she can see everything going on around her...
She's been wearing Taryn's sun hat now that we actually have some sun!

Our first CU game together
She helped me cheer the Buff to a victory over CSU- an overtime thriller. She was very excited for the game as you can clearly see in this picture.
Don't stop bouncing Aunt Jodi
Maya loves the BB (baby bjorn) and the ball. She thinks it's funny that we would ever want to stop bouncing on the ball when it's so much fun.

Maya Renee
I don't really know what I am doing, so bear with me if this does not look right! I will try to post photos next...
