Maya's Firsts

May started out with a visit from great-Aunt Priscilla, great-Uncle Billy, and cousin Emily. Maya also had the chance to spend time with her big-girl, second cousins Melody and Julianne; she watched in awe as they sang, ran, colored, and ate dinner.
Sharon celebrated her first Mother's Day cuddling with a clingy Maya , and Akiva made his first turkey dinner to honor the moms in his life. Saba, Savta, and Uncle Avinoam came over for the feast and Maya enjoyed showing off her rolling, reaching, and cooing. Maya woke up the next morning with her first cold, but still managed to smile and reman in a great mood.
We had a wonderful Shabbat lunch with the Jagodas on Maya's first trip to Oakland to meet auntie Laurie's family. Maya also went to her first Giants game, and they happened to be playing the Mets! We got a certificate to honor her first game, which Maya (and her Daddy) will surely cherish.
Maya is now fascinated with watching her cats run across the room and gets very excited by kicking her legs and waving her arms. She is making more sounds and we are beginning to hear her 'crib talk' before she goes to bed.
