6/15/2011 188 Days Old

On the 188th day in the life of the most beautiful girl in the history of the world the morning began peacefully. Me and Maya watched the daily show on the couch as we do most mornings. Today Grandma Patti came by to take care of Maya so that I could attempt to accomplish something.

Today was a big day for Maya. We have been working with her on tasting so that hopefully she can build back up her swallowing reflex. This morning we let Maya suck on a frozen banana. She really liked it. She swallowed several times while tasting the banana. If we keep practicing every day eventually she should swallow more natural which will really help her. Right now she just likes to lay face down and drool it all out.

This evening Maya had a first time visitor. Tori came by for diner and met Maya for the first time. She got to see Maya have a frozen banana. After Tori left Maya got a bath, and it was as Erin said ” No time is a good time for bath time.” Maya was a very unhappy girl. Erin got her calmed down and we moved her into the bedroom. Within minutes of resting on Erin’s shoulder Maya was asleep. She only had two very short naps today of about an hour each. Hopefully she will make up for it with a sound sleep tonight.
