The Good Girl

People often tell us, "Oh, Maiya's such a good girl. I've never seen her cry!"

People, she cries. She gets fussy. She whines. While we're lucky to have a relatively easygoing baby who has a high tolerance for wet diapers, she is a baby, and they do cry. The term "crybaby" didn't come from no where. Crying is how babies communicate. But not crying doesn't make her good, just as crying doesn't make her bad. So, for those who've never seen Maiya cry, here's one of my favorite pictures of her "communicating" with us.
