6/30/2011 203 Days Old

June 30th, 2011

On the 203rd day in the life of the most beautiful girl in the history of the world the morning began peacefully. Erin had to go to work today and I got to spend the morning alone with Maya. Maya decided that she wanted to be awake today. She woke up about 7:00. I held her on the couch as we watched TV. I think that she figured she got enough rest sleeping for the last three days, and she was making up for it today. She did take a few 15 min cat naps, but she would wake up bright eyed and ready to play. She was talking all morning. What she was saying I have no idea. At times her little tongue would push out of her mouth and lick the air. I figured that meant she wanted a banana. After she was through with the banana I tried a little bottle feeding. She only had about one cc, and she didn’t latch on, but she did manage to get it out of the bottle and to her belly. Some ended up on the outside of her belly too, but we are working on that.

This evening Grandma Kathy came by to watch Maya so that me and Erin could go scope out a new house for Maya. I don’t think we found the right place yet. Maya was still awake when we got home. She stayed awake until Erin sat down with her and cuddled her to sleep. She had a very full day. Hopefully that will translate into a restful night for both her and her parents.
