6/3/2011 177 Days Old

June 3rd, 2011

On the 177th day in the life of the most beautiful girl in the history of the world the morning began peacefully. Erin had the day off today. We got to spend a lot of time together with Maya. It was also the busiest day Maya has ever had. The morning began with a photo shoot.

Maya’s two favorite photographers were both here at the same time today. Maya started out a little bit cranky, but we were able to get her calmed down and I think we got some really nice shots. We kept Maya modest most of the time, but a few shots of our little girl in nothing but a diaper were taken. In preperation for the shoot Erin made Maya a new dress. I love that Erin can use her creativity to make things for Maya, and she was adorable in her new dress.

This afternoon we had visits from about everyone from carousel. Maya’s nurse was here. Our case worker and our chaplin came by as well. After our visits we had a couple of hours to nap on the couch before our busy evening.

Tonight we took Maya on a trip for the second week in a row. We went to Uncle K.C.’s and Aunt Michelle’s for a family gathering. I guess it was to celebrate mothers day, but I think that was a while ago. Maya did well on the trip. I still think she does better than her parents when venturing out of the house. We are not as stressed out about it as we used to be, and the cold and flu season has been driven away by 90 degree temps, so I think we will try and get out with her more often. Tomorrow night we are going to try and make it out to dinner with Maya. It should be nice. We have only been out to dinner once since Maya was born, and she didn’t get to go with us. I hope she likes Mexican food.
