Maya continues to astound us with her rapid acclimation to our family. She absolutely adores Oliver and doesn't mind his carrying her around the house. She is completely bonded with Pam as her mommy, and Maya is very happy to see daddy after work. Maya also continues to demonstrate her innate flexibility, indicating a future yoga instructor.

Days after arriving in the US, we attended a retirement party for a faculty member and took two cars not knowing how the children would respond. Maya was quite content and, with Oliver's able assistance, walked around between all of the tables.

Maya is a great eater, takes a decent (usually) midday nap, and loved her first trip to Woody's Oasis! The last photo shows Maya making what started out as an apparent imitation of our family's large smile and turned out being what Pam and Oliver call "funny face," which she thinks is pretty funny.
