Nicknames: Gracie, Grace, My My, Maya Baya
Weight & Height: 28 lbs and I need to see how tall...
Hair: Slowly but surely she is getting hair! It's still really short hair for a 2 1/2 year old, but she looks more like a girl now! She has wispy, messy curls in the back and lots of thick light brown hair on top.
Favorite foods: Her special dairy-free pizza, french fries, scrambled eggs, most fruit (except melon), carrots (dipped in ketchup... gross), broccoli, peas, plain rotini pasta, ice cream (either soy or sorbet... and she likes to have gummy bears mixed in if we go to Coldstone :)
Favorite Drink: Unfortunately I don't think it's rice milk anymore. She has experienced her first juice box in the last few months and thoroughly loves Capri Sun for a treat :)
Favorite toys: trying to ride her trike, puzzles, painting with water, anything make believe with her big sisters, the computer
Favorite books: Little Critter and Curious George books. She loves to point out the mouse on each page of the Little Critter books.
Favorite stuffed animal: Teddy!
Favorite Person: She prefers mommy right now :)
Bedtime: As always bedtime gets pushed back in the summer and we're trying to adjust forward with the start of the school year. Right now I'm trying to have her in bed by 8:00.
Wake-up time: Between 7:00 and 7:30
Naps: Late spring she scared me and didn't take a nap for almost a month straight. Then something happened because she started taking 2-3 hour naps daily almost all summer long. Now with the start of the school year she seems to be an every other day napper. I'll take it.
What she's saying: She's a full blown talker. Not just sentences, I'm talking paragraphs! She also has a crazy memory... she knows the lyrics to so many songs on the radio it amazes me.
Latest Accomplishment: She potty trained the week after her 2nd birthday. Third times a charm! She knows her colors, shapes, letters, numbers, you name it. She's smart just like her sisters :) She also converted to a big girl bed this summer very easily. No hiccup there either. And she learned how to use the computer, independently, shortly after her 2nd birthday. She can now turn the computer on, log in, get to Internet Explorer and either go to favorites and find her favorite kid's websites or she can go to a search engine and type in "barbie" or "pbskids" and get to those websites! I stood here watching in disbelief the first time she did it a few months ago. She's two and needs absolutely no help operating a computer correctly. Amazing.
Likes: I can finally delete cotton balls from this category!!! We passed that phase finally! Likes include dancing and singing, going to the park, chapstick, gymnastics class, playing on the computer, going outside, water balloons, throwing rocks in water, praying first at dinner time, and her routine of giving everyone a kiss and hug before bedtime

Dislikes: getting in her car seat, being disciplined, keeping her shoes on in the car
Best known for: how happy and cheerful she is.
Health: Maya had a cough that lasted a 4-6 weeks last spring after she had pneumonia. Other than that she has been very healthy.
Interesting Tidbits: She still doesn't have her 2 year molars in yet. She is starting to outgrow her dairy allergy just as they had predicted she would. She can now eat a product if the dairy is listed in the "contains less than 2% of" section on the nutrition label.
