Growing up way too quickly



Maya is growing up much too quickly. She is nine months old today, which means Mustafa and I have been mommy and daddy for nine months, which is frankly impossible. In celebration of this big day, Maya tasted her first piece of cheese (organic sharp cheddar, delish). Which of the following happened?
a) She gobbled it up and asked for more;
b) She gave Lola a little piece;
c) She inspired mommy to have some for breakfast;
d) All of the above.

I think that anyone who knows me knows that d is the correct answer. Any daughter of mine (any Bowen, period) LOVES cheese, LOVES to share cheese (well…at least with Lola), and I’ll always have a taste.

Maya’s 9 month checkup is in a week, so here are her non-number stats: she loves to turn pages in all of her books veryquickly; she loves to operate the stereo equipment; she is a fast-moving baby tank; she likes to wag Lola’s tail; she has an awesome sense of humor and will laugh at me even in the middle of the night; and she is the absolute apple (pumpkin) of our eyes!
