4/25/2011 139 Days Old

On the 139th day in the life of the most beautiful girl in the history of the world the morning began peacefully. Grandma Kathy came by to take care of Maya while Erin and I went to work. It was really hard to leave the house this morning. Not because Maya was having a rough time, but because she was awake and being cute. She woke up about 15 minutes before we had to leave. Her blue eyes were wide open. We sat on the couch and played with her as long as we could before leaving. For Easter Lori got Maya a little toy bunny. It has a string that sticks out of the back and when it is pulled the elephant vibrates and dances around while making a somewhat annoying noise. I placed it under Maya’s hand and pulled the string. We all watched as her eyes opened wider. She was puzzled by the bunny, and every time I pulled the string and the bunny began to move her face would light up. It was a good way to start our day.

Grandma Kathy was the only visitor today. She took care of Maya while we were at work, and then stayed and fixed us dinner. Maya was up from the time we left this morning until her 9:00 feeding. She has been asleep ever since. She is very tired today. Right now Erin and Maya are both napping. Maya is curled up against her mom, and other than a few snores, and a few squirms now and then she is resting peacefully. She knows when she is next to her momma. They have a special cuddle bond. There are times when much to the chagrin of her dad, all Maya wants is her mom. We are listening to Mumford and Sons. The Sigh No More Album has become one of Maya’s favorites. Thanks Sarah. All Maya’s Grandmas keep trying to sing her the ittsy bittsy spider, or the ABCs, but all Maya wants is some Little Lion Man. She is quite the little connoisseur.
