Not quite sure why I’m updating now as it probably means I’ll have nothing left to write about on Maya’s 10 month update but I just felt like posting so….

I woke up this morning with a definite bump which has stayed there all day. I keep staring at myself in amazement. I’m not quite 16 weeks and didn’t start showing with maya until I was about 6 months so I think this proves that she pretty much wrecked my stomach muscles. No photo yet but I will do one at 17 weeks to compare with the first bump photo from last time round.

Maya took her first 2 steps nearly a month ago when she was 9 months and 4 days old since then she has taken a step or two occassionally but generally not been very interested in the whole learning to walk business as crawling is so much easier and less distance to fall. Today however she’s been taking 3 or 4 steps in a row and will walk towards me if I put her down and encourage her over with something shiny. Exciting! No video because my camera is crap in low light (and that’s the final straw, I’m buying a new one asap – never buy a panasonic camera!) but here’s a picture of her attacking papa with a feather duster.

and just for good measure, maya and puppies! – does it get any cuter than this?!
