We were in shock! We had known for a couple of months that she was pregnant, but didn't expect or think she would place her baby with us. It was a miraculous surprise! <br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We flew out the next day to Detroit, Michigan! All the while, we were in touch with Maya's birth grandma and birth sister! They were keeping us posted on how things were going with Maya, and now the new baby girl's, birth mom!</div>

Our adoption agent in Utah was able to help us find an agency in Michigan. We met with them the next day and that night drove to meet this sweet baby girl for the first time! We were just going to meet her, but when we pulled in, we got a call from the hospital social worker. She asked us if we had a car seat, we told her we did and she said the baby was ready to leave the hospital and we could take her with us that night! What a wonderful surprise! </div>

We stayed in Mchigan for just under 8 weeks! While there, we were blessed to meet our daughters' birth grandma and birth sister! What a wonderful experience! We even got to meet the girls' birth mom, but I will save those pictures for our personal viewing. I don't know if we have her permission to post, so we will keep them as a sacred memento for our family. </div>

It's been jam-packed full of good times! We started the summer off by saying 'bye-bye to the binky's'. One day they all just ended up broken. Maya did so well with it, if she saw a 'broken' (cut) binky we encouraged her to throw it in the garbage. She really seemed to understand that the binkys were broken and we didn't have too much trouble. Whenever she asked where it was we reminded her it was 'broken' and she just went on with whatever she was doing. <br />

We also spent a fun day at Lagoon with family!</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Yep, you read one of those right - Maya is potty training! Maya was more ready to start than I was so we figured it was time to start. :) She was already going potty in the morning, and getting out of the bath-tub to potty, plus she liked wearing panties so we went for it. She is doing so well and has a rare accident here and there. What a girl!</div>

I guess time flies when you're having fun! Maya is growing fast! She loves all things Disney, loves to be outside, seems to love the color blue (calls every color 'blue'), enjoys reading, playing in her kitchen, is a serious thinker, still is attached to her stuffed puppy Diesel (and her binky), loves to tease, has the best laugh, and she is very thoughtful.</div>

We can't believe our girl has turned ONE YEAR OLD already! Time sure does fly when you're having fun! On her actual birthday, we decorated the house, sang to her, and let her [try to] blow out her first candle on a sweet roll for breakfast, and then we took Maya to the zoo! She loved every minute of it and would hold her hand out beckoning the animals to come to her - it was so sweet!<br />
