Maia is sure a chatterbox! She especially loves to talk in the mornings. Here's a video of her chattering away. Unfortunately once I got the video camera out, Meko walked in, and Maia was so interested in seeing her that she chats a little less in the video than she did prior to when I pressed play.
The next videos are of Maia doing her chores. I thought Grandma Tita would get a kick out of it, because she and Maia work so hard doing the same things. This first one was already posted on facebook, so this is for all you non-facebook people.
This next video is the second half of her chores. A warning to everyone else-- it's 6 minutes long and nothing changes. I only post it here so Grandma Tita can see it, the rest of you, don't keep watching expecting something spectacular to happen right at the end-- you'll be disappointed!

And finally, a video of what happened right after she opened her present from Grandma Tita. The horse wasn't put together yet, but the music worked! Maia really wanted to dance to it, but first she had to get it to play a longer song than just the 'neigh.'
And as a bonus, here is a series of her opening her gift from Grandma Jo.
Dad was vacuuming in the living room, so two scared little ones who normally stay far away from one another found solace in the same spot exactly as far away from the living room as they could get.
