12 months

Maya is now one! She had a fun birthday party with all of her little friends and uncle Adam and the best part was we got to Skype grandma aagard and great grandma hopkin and aunt Amy and uncle Brandon. They got to watch her go to town on her giant cupcake! She started walking a week after her birthday and mastered it while at grandma Hopkins with any and I there to help her. She's the happiest little girl and loves her mama. She waves to everyone is always smiling and always making noises although there are no words yet. She loves sledding, playing peek a boo, older kids, baca, being held, snuggling with her mama and watching baby Einstein. She eats almost anything but loves fruit, veggies and bread. Her favorite thing is sugar and if you ask her aunt Amy she'll tell you I'm going to give Maya diabetes! I love my little girl more than life it's self and couldn't imagine not being her mommy. She lights up my day and helps me to forget my troubles but makes me smile and realize how blessed I am to get to raise her. She's now 14 months and had 4 teeth on top and two on bottom. She has for about a month now stays over with her dad Friday nights until Saturday at 12. I miss her very much but it's nice to be able to have a night off where I can go on dates or hang out with my friends. Lately I've gotten a little stressed and overwhelmed with dating. I don't know why because I'm happy with my current situation, I guess I just want to know that there is someone out there for me to eventually end up with so I guess my problem is that I need to put more trust in The Lord. For now I'm loving being a single mom, I love the time that Maya and I have with just the two of us. We do whatever we want and we have no one else to focus on but each other. She snuggles with me at night and I love it ( most nights) she's only going to be small once so I'm enjoying everything that comes with it. I pray that the two of us will always have a strong bond and she'll always be able to talk to me and know her worth and that she's a child of God.
