3/15/2011 98 Days Old

March 15th, 2011

On the 98th day in the life of the most beautiful girl in the history of the world the morning began peacefully. We had an early morning visit from Maya’s nurse this morning. Maya had kept us up a little bit last night and we were very tired. Her nursing visit went well. After the visit Erin started working from home, and I sat down with Maya on the couch. I practiced guitar all morning. Maya listened next to me, and Erin worked at the dining room table. It was a good morning. Maya was a little cranky from time to time but overall she had a good morning.

This afternoon Maya had a visit from her occupational therapist and her nutritionist. She weighed in at 8 pounds 8 ounces. We plotted her growth on her growth chart and she is growing just right. We talked with the therapist and got a few tips on some excersizes for maya. We also tried a little tummy time. She is an impressive little girl. She can roll from her back on to her side, where she likes to sleep. She is also becoming more aware of her hands. It is good to see the little things that she has learned over the last three months.

This evening Grandpa Bob and Grandma Chris brought us some dinner. They got their Maya fix in. We listened to Simon and Garfunkel Live from Central park as they held her. Maya is a big fan of Simon and Garfunkel. I can tell that she recognizes the songs. She relaxes and becomes a little more comfortable every time that she hears them. We are now hanging out and winding down from our day. It was a good day for spring break.
