Happy Birthday Maya!

Maya is now officially two years old. She had a party with a real cake with Winnie the Pooh on it -- yes, she outgrew that wheat allergy from babyhood so we were super excited to get her a true birthday cake. She had a terrific time at her party. Her friends Bug and Giggle (who Maya seriously LOVES and who are also adopted from Ethiopia) came over to wish her Happy Birthday, as did our friend Elna and her family, and Teberh as well.

Maya was so wired by the end of the evening. After everyone left and we asked her about her day, she told us: "I made a birthday". When we asked what she did for her birthday, she said she played and shared with her friends. (Well actually I'm not sure she was really sharing, but who's splitting hairs here??) It's so great to see her having such a great time playing with other kids, and she is finally at the age where she is starting to have actual friendships. Very cool!
