I Just Met a Girl Named Maria

I was laying in my crib this morning, waiting politely for my mom to get up before I started fussing, just thinking and talking to myself about all the stuff that has been happening to me lately. It seems like the last couple weeks have been a whirlwind of firsts. I sure am growing up fast. And something tells me that mom and dad say the same thing to one another when they're snuggling up for sleep at night. (I know those two so well.)


One new thing that recently happened to me is I finally got to meet my Auntie Maria. Mom and dad have mentioned her a lot, so I was looking forward to finally meeting her myself. And then you know what? It was the weirdest thing. I woke up from a nap and she was there, and it was like I already knew her. Her voice was so familiar, like I had heard it in another lifetime. Every time I looked at her she had a big smile on her face, and you can tell she loves me a lot already because of her baby death grip. There was no way I was wriggling out of her hands! Check out the love below.

Needles to say, I had lots of fun with Auntie Maria. And tomorrow my Nanna comes for a whole week! And then Pop Pop comes for the weekend! We're going to have so many adventures, I can't wait!
