One of those was this past weekend when we got to celebrate my first Mother’s day, went to a bunch of recreational places, such as Laxenburg park and Schönbrunn and grilled lots of meat and even got to have some shashlik, made by my dad.

I just wanted to quickly post, so I don’t forget what we noticed about Maya. It was quite funny the weekend before last, when we woke up in the morning (ok, Maya woke us up, but anyway), and we put Maya in the bed with us. For some reason, she seemed especially alert, and looked different that morning. Anyway, during the day, we also noticed that she was somehow more aware of her surroundings, and seemed to be able to suddenly grab exactly what she wanted, and even when we held her sitting up, she seemed completely different. It was as if she had suddenly woken up after being a baby for a while. Strange, but we both noticed it, and it was really encouraging.
