5/26/2011 169 Days Old

May 26th, 2011

On the 169th day in the life of the most beautiful girl in the history of the world the morning began peacefully. Today was my first day of my summer with Maya. She woke up at 6:30. We moved out to the couch and watched a movie together. She was really awake so I got to do all of her different exercises. We worked on sitting up for a while. We did some stretches, and she touched her toes. I thought that I should do all her exercises in the morning so that she could sleep through the afternoon, but she never did sleep. In the entire time I had her today from 6:30 in the morning until late this evening she only slept for about an hour. I hope she sleeps well tonight.

Michelle ,and Esther, Micah, and Luke came by to see Maya today, as did Krissie. It was good to get some help. The days can get kind of long and boring if it is just me and Maya all day. It worked out great today. I got to get some things done and Maya’s aunts and cousins got to spend some time with her.

This evening Grandma Kathy came by to watch Maya so that me and Erin could go to wine fest. Wine fest is a march of dimes fund raiser. We got to get out and socialize with some people from Erin’s work. Maya was finally able to get to sleep on grandma’s shoulder shortly after 8:00. I think today was the record for most time awake. I had plenty of time to see her blues today.
