Three Weeks!

Wow. I can't believe it's been three weeks already. It's gone by fast. I think we're are settling into more of a routine now. There have been some tough times when both Maya and her mommy are crying at the same time, but there's been lots of good times too! I guess this is parenthood :) Maya and I have made many outings together... walks around the neighborhood, restaurants and shopping and she's been pretty calm so far! Getting out of the house feels wonderful.

First off, Maya is doing much better with her weight gain! She now weighs 7 pounds. She is still a very small baby, in the 5th percentile for height and weight. Maybe she'll catch up later or just be a petite child.

I think she is starting to pay more attention to things around her, or being able to see better, she stares at the mobile on her bouncer and swing very intently.

For some reason if she is crying and I lay her down to change her diaper, she stops!! Aren't most babies opposite?

Sometimes when she sneezes, it sounds like she is saying "thank you" afterwards.

I have to be careful not to get her overtired / overstimulated because then she is very hard to put to bed!
