    Thank you, boos for joining us on this journey and new chapter 🙏🏾✨ I can’t believe it’s been a year and we made it! So grateful for this community 💕

      Oh it'll be even more fun when she starts talking! My son's a teen now (almost adult next year when he turns 18); I remember it was so cool when we started to verbally interact. He's revisiting our past now because he suggested that we go do roadside attraction + roadtrip & quasi UrBex adventures together again like we did back when he was a young boy. Mabu-HEY & lots of love to Saga, you & Max!

    Yes, the first year is about keeping babies ALIVE! the second year is fun because now you see baby THRIVING and interacting with her world and you are sharing in the joy and wonder of those experiences. They sleep a little deeply now because they are so physically and mentally stimulated! My babies are 24 and 26 now, and these milestones and your stories are imbedded in my mind. Parenting is hard AF, but the rewards (thank God) outweigh the challenges. You grow as they grow in so many ways. Thanks for sharing the reality of the parenting merry go round.

    Can I be real for a moment, seeing you both walk in fruitfulness and abundance helped me continue to have hope. Like your life is a testimony to everyone that there’s always something amazing waiting for you, just gotta trust God and prepare for it. Thank you for sharing your journey and Happy Birthday Saga 💕💕

    Both of you need to take time for each other; being new parents with limited outside help has strained your relationship (you do your best to not show it, but it shows). You both need to re-experience each other and work on your marital relationship. Get a babysitter and step back. We're rooting for you.

    A year already! What a joyous milestone. You are both doing a fantastic job raising such a curious and happy little lady. I can 100% relate to trying to find your way back to Self. Remember to celebrate those small wins in parenting and be gracious with yourselves and each other. Stay blessed 🙌🏾

    I've been following Maya since NY in the early days. I remember accompanying the heart break of the first relationship and now seeing this whole new life with Max and Saga it seems light years away. This goes to show how much our lives can change for the good and with the guidance of God. So proud of you MAYA!!!!!

  • @2studiosinc62
    @2studiosinc62 2 года назад +5

    I just love you both! Your vlogs are very soothing and healthy for my spirit. I am enjoying seeing you build a loving, truthful, and healthy and mature relationship. Saga’s growth and development is showing you how to communicate with her at every stage; and you also are learning her personality traits and moods. Please take me on holiday with you so I can be her nana!!🙏🏽😂🥰

    Yayyy to 1 year of parenting🎉🎉!! You both have leveled up to another phase of parenting. :) After 1 year, both the child and parents gain independence. One thing I like about parenting is that we get to reinvent ourselves over and over as we go through along with our childrens growth journey 😊😊😊

    I love that you guys keep I real. Being a parent is not easy but it is rewarding. That first year for me was hell. The father of my child left when she was just 10 months old. I fell into terrible depression. I didn’t want to do anything or go anywhere. I even lost me job. I survived that then 11 years later I got my son in 2020 and now 2 years later it’s still hard on me. Thankfully I have a more flexible job this time around and my daughter is older now she can s able to assist me. My husband works away from home. I don’t feel like myself I feel like a prisoner attached to my baby who I love unconditionally no questions. It’s just hard. Seeing that I’m not the only one is refreshing and gives me hope. Being a parent affects so many different aspects of our life and each partner is affected differently and i feel like most time the mother is the one to suffer.

      Hang in there mama! It's tough but you got this. Being a parent is rough on most and we're both amazed by parents who claim otherwise.

    Happy birthday Saga and congratulations to you the parents 🥳🥳🥳🥳!!!! We also are first time parents and our son share the same birth month with your daughter. His 1st birthday will be this week 😱. We really enjoy watching your content it feels like we are living the pretty much same journey ongoing. I also bed-share and I am also so so ready to no longer be trapped in my bed every nights and dream to no longer be the only one able to get my son to sleep… Would you share a bit of how you managed to get Saga to transition from bed-sharing to sleep in her own bed? Any tips would do 😊

    • @MaxMayaLiving
      @MaxMayaLiving  2 года назад +3

There is absolute presence of true love (unexplainable feelings) for Saga. Life is full of challenges, but can be overcome by and with the grace from God! Continue on your journey with Love and care for Saga. Happy mom, will make a happy dad and child. Happy birthday my Apo!

    So happy to see Maya with her cousins for Saga's first birthday!! It's always great to see her side of the family since they live in different countries (continents even lol). We can really see in the video how much the entire family (Maya, Max and Saga) has grown after just 1 year, it's so crazy! It's really amazing to be able to look back after a year and feel proud of yourself 🙂 You did really great! But now to the important question: since Saga is sleeping in her own bed, is it time to work on baby #2...or just catch up sex in the bed🤣?
