Toddle and Talk

Maya has leaped off her first birthday into the land of the toddling.
She's gaining confidence daily and while quite happy to hold one's hand (or a handful of my trousers) and almost run around, she takes a few steps into your arms and today she stood herself up and walked 4 paces to a chair (from which to cruise)
Her vocabulary continues to expand and her pronunciation improve (within minutes sometimes).
She's a really bright spark, loves other children, cradles and pats the backs of her babies, keeps her eyes peeled for dogs ("woahwoahwoah") and birds ("baed") and is generally a lovely person to be around.
