Who are these guys anyway? Part 2 : M&M

Maia Necia @ 1550 days 1257 minutes, originally uploaded by №7.

Maia is passionate. Its what her name means and it defines so much of who she is. Whatever she does, whether it is getting dressed in the morning and finding the perfect shirt, or cheering on Jones and Halle in a race down the hall, it is done with fervor and zeal and an incredible ammount of energy.

At four years old, I have never met another child so obsessed with babies. Living life as a very pregnant lady these days, my every move is chronicled by M. She is constantly asking... " is it okay for you to eat that with the baby in your tummy mom?" " Are you able to walk that far with the baby mom?" "I need to be close to you right now mom, so I can talk to the baby, could you give us some privacy?" It is a trait that is absolutely loveable and that I know will find a special place in our home once her new little sister is born. For now, her own babies, "Pear" and "Sandy" occupy her time and attention pretty exclusively. They have scheduled nursing and nap times and are usually included on outside excursions and special playdates. We are especially proud of "Sandy" and the progress she has made in recent weeks in regards to potty training.

Maia is an extrovert. She likes to discuss all her emotions and all of her ideas.We find she really needs feedback to be validated and to process whatever is occuring in her heart. So, pretty much the complete opposite personality of her big sister Halle. One thing they do share in common is a love for learning. Maia recently crawled into bed with us one early morning and cried because she is not able to "really" read, but felt she was only pretending. This began her reading lessons, which she is thriving in! She loves art and dancing and her gymnastics class. When you come to visit, be prepared for Maia to give you a tour of her room, demonstrate a song and dance number or show you all her owies.... its quite the entertainment!
