It's Beautiful and So are You

Today, actually in about an hour, Maya has her two week doctor's appointment. She has been sleeping and eating like the rapid little monkey she is. She also has been scratching her face a lot when she eats (mommy and daddy really need to reclip her nails, but are a little afraid because they are so tiny!) so we've resorted back to the dreaded mittens. Maya has also been fussy lately. She'll fuss and fuss and occasionally, the only thing that calms her down, is a boobie. But this lasts for only a few minutes because she uses the boobie like other babies use pacie's. She hates pacie's. So she'll go to the boobie, take a few swigs and either fall asleep or get extremely frustrated because it's not comforting her (it doesn't feel right, she's a tactile baby). But we don't care, at least she spends a little bit of time at the boobie.

One thing I've noticed- we've taken to ending everything in "ie" :

diapie, wipie, kewpie, burpie, poopie, blankie, milkie, drinkie, etc, etc....

Maya makes the cutest kewpie doll face that we've tried and tried to get a good photo of. She's very expressive and we find it hilarious. She also makes dragon sounds which her dad has tried to get her to make into a microphone but she's sneaky and won't play ball. So I like to call her "Dragon". Her favorite song that Daddy plays for her is "Dear Prudence." Which is okay by me.

In visitors news: Chris, Kim, and K'nute came to visit us and we had a nice time with them..except Maya slept the whole time. And trust me, we tried everything to wake her up. I will try to post some of those later...
