Maya meets Carla!
More rocking with Papa
Maya could sit on Papa's lap all day long. She loves to face out and look all around. She says, "Thank you, Papa, for coming to visit me and hanging out with me so much! I love you!"
Rocking with Papa
Papa and Maya in their chair. Maya loves sitting on Papa's lap! She coos at the pumpkin rattle too. She had so much fun with Papa this weekend!
Beautiful day at the pumpkin farm!
A beautiful day at the pumpkin farm! What a fun outing with Papa!
Maya soaks up the sun on the rare occasion that it is out.
Reading with mommy
One Fish Two Fish is one of Maya's favorite books. She actually looks at the pictures now!

Tummy Time
Tummy time is getting more and more fun with Maya holding her head up like this. We do tummy time in the mornings while she is happy. She is also becoming interested in books, which mommy likes! Her favorites right now are "Where is Baby's Belly Button?" and "Five Silly Monkeys." She loves the monkey puppet!
I love my swing!
We think the swing is the best baby invention ever! Maya continues to LOVE her swing. She gets quite a kick out of it lately, smiling and cooing while she is in it even when neither of us are in sight. She always takes her morning nap in her swing and is just as happy as can be!
Fred face
We call this Maya's "Fred face." She definitely has some Brooks in those cheeks! She has a huge Drew dimple on the right side which is becoming more and more prominent. Hopefully I will get a good picture of it sometime soon!
Very serious
Here is one of Maya's intense looks! It's fun to see her personality emerge - she is focusing more on faces and is becoming extremely interested in her surroundings. She is starting to bat at objects hanging above her with her right hand and she moves her arms and legs more when she gets excited. She still loves to look at anything outside too!

Maya, Drew and Grandma Doris
Maya got to meet Grandma Doris and see where she got her eyes! Maya is her 18th great grandchild and Grandma can tell you the names and ages of all of the others! This meeting is what this trip was all about!
The elk bugle!
What a pristine Colorado day! Look closely and you'll see Maya's first elk viewing - they are all around the water. We did a couple of long drives to get Maya to sleep and ran across a herd of elk close to Estes Park. Even got to hear them bugling in the middle of the afternoon! Stopped and fed Maya by this herd - what a great place to feed her!!
Daddy's little girls
The daddy's and their little girls out for a hike - Drew and Maya, Andrew and Laura. Maya loved looking up at her daddy and at the CO sun. Laura is quite the hiker in the leopard print sun hat!
Lisa and Maya
Maya loved playing with Lisa during her happy time on the floor! Lots of smiles and happy noises!
Maya in CO!
Our first stop in CO was the Dillon's gorgeous cabin near Redfeather, just north of Fort Collins. We enjoyed very special time with Lois, Jim, Andrew, Lisa and Laura. Drew and Maya went for her first CO hike and she loved being in the mountains, the sound of the creek and the beautiful golden aspens. And, check out her jeans! She looks so big and grown up!
