4/27/2011 141 Days Old

On the 141st day in the life of the most beautiful girl in the history of the world the morning began peacefully. Maya and Erin stayed asleep as I got ready and left for work. While I was away Maya had a busy day. Grandma Patti came by to take care of Maya so that Erin could work from home. This afternoon Maya had a visit from her dietition, and her occupational therapist. Maya weighed in at 9 pounds 15.5 ounces. If she would not have filled a diaper before the visit she would have broke the 10 pound mark. We also got some new exercises for Maya. Maya is doing well with holding up her own head and turning from side to side to see around her. She has some stiffness in one of her hips still, but we are trying to stretch her out.

Before her visits Maya had just gotten to sleep. Erin used a new technique called the slow wake up. I found that if I rub Maya’s arm while she sleeps I can slowly bring her out of sleep, and then just as her eyes open stop. She thinks that she just woke herself up and doesn’t get cranky. We are thinking about renaming the process the snooze button, but right now it is the slow wake.

After her visit Maya stayed awake until just after I got home. I got some good snuggle time with my little girl. Most of the time when I hold Maya why she sleeps we combine to make a sweaty mess, but today she stayed nice and cool while snoozing in my arms. Later in the evening Grandma Kathy came by to help us out. We ate dinner and now we are watching Community. Maya still loves her ahbed. It was a good day for Maya.
