Maya - 2 Months Old

All About Maya Grace at 2 months old....



Nicknames: There are a ton... Maya Baya, Maya My, Maya Saya, Myna, Maya Mae, Baby Blue Eyes
Weight & Length: We'll find out tomorrow at her appointment... I'm going to guess that she's 85% and up for everything
Hair: A decent amount of dark brown hair all over minus the bald spot on the back of her head
Favorite food: She doesn't get any options so it has to be breastmilk, but she sure does seem to enjoy that! She currently eats approximately 5 - 6 times per day for about 15 - 20 minutes each time.
Favorite toys: A white bunny that she got for Easter, crab rattle, her play mat, and swing. But mostly she just enjoys having other people interact with her and smile at her.
Favorite stuffed animal: the white bunny from Papa and Nana
Bedtime: typically any time between 9:00 and 11:00 pm
Wake-up time: typically any time between 6:00 and 8:00 am
Naps: She likes to take a long nap about an hour after she wakes up in the morning. She also usually takes another longer nap (2 - 3) hours in the afternoon and another shorter nap in the evening.
Favorite person: By default it has to be me since I'm her food supply :)
Latest Accomplishment: SLEEPING THROUGH THE NIGHT! She has slept through the night 4 out of the past 6 nights. And on the nights that she didn't sleep all the way until morning she still slept for at least 6 - 7 hour stretches before getting up to eat. What a good baby! Maya has also started moving more lately... she can push off with her heels and arch her back to the point that she propels herself sideways and backwards. She turned in a complete circle on her playmat the other day and yesterday morning I found her all the way at the top of her crib with her head smashed against the sides.
Likes: baths, smiling and having people smile at her, being worn in mommy's sling when she's sleepy, car rides (she typically falls asleep within minutes of the car moving), and being swaddled,
Dislikes: getting put in her car seat, bottles, pacifiers
What gets said about Maya most often: that she looks just like Josh and her sisters, what beautiful blue eyes she has, how big she is for her age, and what a good, content baby she is

Maya you are such a joy and we have enjoyed every moment with you over the past 2 months. You are such a sweet, beautiful baby with an easygoing, pleasant disposition. We couldn't be more blessed. If you look up the definition of "easy baby" in the dictionary it would probably have a picture of you ;) Nothing lights up our world more than seeing you smile :) What a blessing you are to our family and we can't wait to see what God has planned for you! We love you so much!
