Maya - 4 Months Old

All About Maya Grace at 4 months old....



Nicknames: My My, Maya My, Myna, Maya Mae, Baby Blue Eyes
Weight & Length: 26 inches long (96%) and 13 lbs 12 oz (55%). She only gained one pound over the last two months and grew an inch and a half! Thus her much lower percentage in the weight department. If this trend continues I have a feeling she's going to be built like Makenna.
Hair: A dark brown stripe of hair along the top, a bald spot on the back and blond fuzz coming in everywhere else!
Favorite food: Still only breast milk. She's not interested in anything else yet. But good news! She will finally take some pumped milk in a bottle! We typically supplement with about 2-3 oz. of pumped milk along with her nursing each night when she goes to bed.
Favorite toys: Grasshopper wind chime (which she played with so hard that she broke it apart), polka dot rattle, soft snail toy, exersaucer, swing when lights are on, baby radio
Favorite stuffed animal: none yet
Bedtime: right around 7:00 pm
Wake-up time: it has typically been right around 6 am - 6:30 am but the last few days she's been waking up with the sun at 5:30 ish!! She's also been waking up about once a night since I had mastitis a few weeks ago :( I'm ready to get back into our sleeping through the night routine.
Naps: She LOVES her morning nap. She typically goes down an hour to an hour and a half after she wakes up and will sleep anywhere from 1 - 3 hours. Her afternoon naps are more hit and miss. Some days she'll just take some 30 minute naps here and there (frustrating for mommy!) but other days she'll take a nice long 1 - 2 1/2 hour nap in the afternoon!
Favorite person: Mommy and Daddy
Latest Accomplishment: She now likes to hold toys and shake them and put them in her mouth. She's also reaching out for her toys. She is also getting very good at rolling from her tummy to her back on a consistent basis and is able to get from her back to her tummy as well.
Likes: baths, smiling and having people smile at her, being worn in mommy's sling when she's sleepy, any kind of toy she can hold, singing Wheels on the Bus with actions, Mousy Mousy game, if you slerbert her feet or tummy, when someone comes in to get her when she wakes up
Dislikes: getting put down if she is tired or hungry
What gets said about Maya most often: that she has beautiful blue eyes, what a cute baby she is, that she looks like her sisters, that she is a good baby, how easily she smiles
Interesting Tidbit: Maya is constantly sticking her tongue out and drooling all over the place. She sticks everything in her mouth including whatever shirt she is wearing that day. I typically have to change her shirt at least once each day.
