Naturist

Watching Maya grow and develop is the greatest thing in the world. It seems that she can go 2 months without really changing at all, and then in just 2 weeks, she can change completely.
Since she started walking, she has become much more independent. She has also started communicating much better, using both signals and words (her vocabulary has increased, and now includes woof-woof, baa-baa and juice along with her already established quack-quack, dada, mama).
She just doesn't seem like a baby anymore. She's a little girl.

She had an amazing time on our recent peregrinations. At Simon and Alison's, she thrived on the company, and then, on our camping trip she was so excited, she wouldn't sit still. She's a real nature-girl, and so loved trotting around in the field, in and out of the tent. We went to the local pub one night of our stay, and Maya learned a new trick to get attention. When we let her out of her chair, she would walk to a nearby table, smile sweetly, and then, when everyone was looking, she would raise her t-shirt above her head.

Personality-wise, she's so like her mother.

She certainly is like her mother... But was maya there when all those years ago, john followed Donna up the stairs, Donna thinking that those slight footsteps behind her were those of her only lover (yourself provncial gentlemen), she pulls up her skirt, sticks her muff into johns face and says 'I think this is yours'..? I think that sort of behaviour is genetic..
