Maria is a lively little girl who is quite the conversationalist. She loves when people talk to her. She is often seen smiling but also has quite a temper and a very healthy set of lungs when she is feeling unhappy. Her favorite words are "hi", "bye-bye", and "uh oh". She recently started taking steps. She loves balls, books, dogs, and attention. Maria's foster family thinks she may be a swim champion in the back stroke event or a champion soccer player as she loves to kick in the bathtub.
