November 2, 2006 - Guangzhou

Our day in photos....

A little pre-breakfast paper reading...

Yum...I really like bananas!

All done! I help mama out by wiping my own mouth and hands!

We took a walk around the island after breakfast and did some shopping...she still does not like to shop...oh well...mama doesn't really like shopping either!

Back in the room before picture time...Grandpa introduced me
to Snickers! YUM - I guess we can be friends afterall!


One of my favorite things to do is throw everything from the table onto the floor...then mama picks it all up for me so that I can do it again!

Mom bought me this pretty lavendar dress - it's a traditional Chinese dress -
I didn't mind it so much!

But then...she wanted me to cooperate for some group photos...doesn't she know that I don't like big groups of strangers?? (I'm the cute one in the upper left corner - looking like I'm waving!)

Now I'm all sacked out...ready to bring on more cuteness
tonight for dinner with some friends!


And this is me NOT going to sleep eventhough mama put me
down 30 minutes ago!

Hi Michelle, I love the pictures! Get ready to start scrapbooking all these adorable pictures. I'm a big scrapbooker, lets get together and create a Maya album. I love all the pictures and captions. Maya is so lucky to have you as a mom. Glad things are working out for Grandpa too. Veronica

Maya is so lovely and looks so happy! What a lucky mommy you are! Tell Grandpa that Sydney wouldn't even look at her Grandma during the whole China trip. She now throws her arms in the air, squeals with delight, and runs to her when she sees her.
