Today is Maya's 1st birthday, and what an amazing joyful happy year it has been for me.
My best ever.
I am so happy she chose me to be her mama.
I had a wonderful day today, it was more special to me than my own birthday really.
It was my birthing day.
She only got a 45 minute car nap today and was REALLY good considering.
Pedja made an incredible dinner for my family and her best friend Mia stopped by for dessert.
I spent it with the people that matter most and I couldn't imagine a better day--and the best part? Auntie Andrea stayed in California to be with us.
I love you mucho Maya!
Happy first birthday and MANY MANY more.

another first
When Pedja went to Serbia to pick up Luka, Maya got her very first cold.
I ended up getting it too -along with a fever and the stomach flu. I was a hot mess.
We both recovered, but last night I woke up to Maya vomiting.
She has never done this. I think she spit up maybe 5 times her whole life.
I fed her and changed her and we all went back to sleep.
She woke up at 645am, ate and we were hanging out playing and all of a sudden it happened again.
But this time it went on and on, and our whole bed needed to be stripped along with both of us.
It was so sad for me to watch and not be able to do anything. I feel so lucky that I have a healthy child and this is not something I am used to.
When she was done she was her happy self and it hasn't happened again.
I didn't give her any solids until dinner so we will see what happens tonight. Fingers crossed.

one big happy family
It took over a year, but Luka is here for good.
He arrived on Wednesday night and we have been having a wonderful few days together.
Maya was asleep when he came home, but when she woke up in the morning and met him for the first time, she went right to him with a big hug and a smile, and she never goes to strangers.
They have been inseperable ever since. He adores his baby sister and is very helpful.
If Luka is in the room, all you have to do is look down and you will find Maya.
He is taller than me and as cute as ever, and looks an awful lot like Justin Bieber.
We all went to register him for school - 7th grade, and that will begin January 10.
