Almost 5 months old- smilin an talkin

Dear Maya,

I've been writing to you a little less frequently because I'm back at work.
I think overall Daddy, Maria and I have found a really good balance so that we each get to spend lots of time with you.  You are a happy and well-adjusted baby.

Daddy's job gets him home around 4:30, and I am home around 2p two days a week.
Mummy's on call can be taxing, but we are doing it Maya, and raising you well.

So in the title I mentioned that you were smiling and talking, but I didn't give away that you're also reading.  Yes!  Here you are reading Auntie Oneeka's book, Dr. Dee Dee Dynamo's Mission to Pluto.  We are so proud of her creation.  In addition to reading, I think you also enjoy eating the bookmark.





The other big surprise announcement is that you're eating!  The pediatrician said you can have food for "taste not calories", and so you've enjoyed banana, pear and carrot.  You are an avid eater.

Here you are eating banana in your food bag.  Caution: you get mad at the end when it runs out.



In the great outdoors, Daddy bought you your very own swing, and just in time for the nice weather.





Here you are in action:


Now, what do you get when you combine swinging and eating pear?? A rocking good time:





Ok you do have two other favourite things to do: one is looking at yourself in the mirror, and what trumps that is your new fascination with the.. iphone!


Just another fun video of you eating poor Sophie le girafe
