New

Shortly before New Year's, Maya finally got to go out in the snow. The temperature was perfect for her to dive right in and work on perfecting her snow angel. "Do you love it momma? Do you love my angels?" Thank you Ruby from "Max and Ruby" for teaching Maya all about snow angels.


Here you also see a picture of Maya tentatively hugging Max while he's playing video games. New Year's Eve was low key at our house. I tried to take Maya swimming but Bender Pool had misadvertised that they were going to be open!! They made my baby cry!! So, we went and bought her this fabulous pink tutu swimsuit.


This is my baby that doesn't sleep. Just like his uncle Chris. He likes to eat his hands, coo and sorta laugh, smile at Maya, and be adorable.

Swimming two days later...

Two Month Check Up

This week Maya had her two month check up...it was a week late, and on Monday she'll be ten whole weeks! We found out that she is 24 and a half inches (97%), 12 pounds 2 ounces (80%), and 39.00 cm for her head (55%). So she's for some reason a very tall baby even though mom and dad are not tall adults. At the check up she received three shots in her legs which resulted in her having a silent scream, turning purple and then finally letting out a real scream. She didn't feel very good that night and needed some tylenol.

This week was also a big week for mommy....she went back to work so Maya has been hanging with Daddy. Daddy says that Maya is loving bath time now that we moved her bath into the big tub. She gets really upset at Daddy for not pouring the water into her mouth. She gets even more upset at Daddy for not letting her slide down her tub into the water so she can drink it that way. She gets EVEN MORE upset when Daddy takes her out of the tub.

Daddy says that Maya also enjoys watching him play guitar. She likes to watch his hands for long periods of time. She's been enjoying watching people talk and will imitate mouth movements. She also has been fascinated by her "piggies" as Mommy calls them. She really wants to get those toesies in her mouth, or at least in her hands but she can't figure out how to do it. This is starting to frustrate her. When I get home in the evening, I take her outside on the porch swing and we rock together, looking around at everything. I mean everything! She's taking it all in and really loving the world! And then she falls asleep.
