7/4/2011 207 Days Old

July 4th, 2011

On the 207th day in the life of the most beautiful girl in the history of the world the morning began peacefully. Maya has been cranky since she got her vaccinations on Friday. She has needed to be held much of the time, and her sleep through the night has been often interupted. She wakes up every few hours and wants some comforting. This morning she was sleeping soundly in her bed when I awoke.

Today was the fourth of july and we were to celebrate with my brothers and sister. They started to show up at the house around 2:00. We fired up the grill and cooked some burgers.  After dinner we headed over to Grandma Kathy’s by way of Sheridan’s Frozen Custard. Grandma Kathy lives close to a fireworks display. We walked from her house until we found a spot the had a nice view point. Maya loved going for the walk. As she passes under trees her eyes get huge and she looks excited to see new things.  She was able to stay awake for a few minutes of the show. I heard it was a good show. I don’t know I had a hard time taking my eyes off of Maya to watch it. I don’t know if she saw any of it or not. She was looking in the right direction, but it is hard to say. But I know for sure she enjoyed the stroller ride.
