Big Pimpin': (As defined in the Urban Dictionary)
"to live relatively luxurious compared to other associates"
Dear Maya,
Why must all your clothes make you look like you're vying to become some rap mogul?
Clothes
She's close to outgrowing her 3 month outfits now, closing in on the 6 month size. It's mainly her length. I swear her toes are just going to bust out of her little jammies one of these days.
Strength
She does this cutest little "sit-up" now. She does not like to be stationary when she's awake. When she's being carried she'll actually do a sit-up so she's sitting upright. Gots to see what's happening. She still doesn't have that head control 100% yet so the results my vary with this maneuver. She is also starting to put weight on her legs when we hold her upright. If she's really PO'd she'll do her little "stiff as a board" maneuver and we'd swear she could stand if she had to. Don't worry, we aren't letting her go or anything like that. yet.
Weight & Height
Last Dr. Appoinment she weighed in at 10 lbs and 9 oz. and just under 23 inches long. That was a few weeks ago. If I were a betting man (which I am but Mommy won't let that side of me flourish into the winning king I'm destined to be) I'd say she's close to 12.5 pounds and about 2 feet tall now.
Game time
We introduced "fly birdy" to Maya this past week. She loves it. She holds her body stiff as a board as she soars high above the clouds. Ok maybe just high above the puppies. We crash land into Daddy and do this crazy little army crawl up his chest, just trying to get back to soaring position. Luckily no one has been puke bombed from fly birdy position yet.
Maya's magic trick
From Happy...
...To awkward smile (let's hope she's more photogetic than Mommy and Daddy once she gets older)
The kid does not like to nap during the day. If she falls asleep while being held, boom. As soon as you lay her down she's awake. With that said she has been sleeping through the night (for the most part) and only waking for food time. I swear she said "food" today. Kid likes to eat. She is also putting herself to sleep at night sometimes. Lay her in her crib, a little white noise a little mobile wind-up and boom; she's asleep in no time. (or at least within 10 minutes)
Mommy and Daddy night out! (well kinda)
Mommy and Daddy went to an infant CPR and saftey class and Maya had her first baby sitter. (Thanks Aunt Becky!) The class was a little surreal and of course we are already doing stuff wrong. :) Teacher: "Make sure you always lie infants on their back. This is the number one reason for child saftey issues." Us: "What if Maya immediately rolls to her side." Teacher: "Oh, that's ok." Us: "Um? ok." (Here's Daddy's view of the little beast in her side sleepin position while typing these posts)
Yup, things are changing. It all seems like a like a whirlwind and we can't believe how much she has grown already. We've already said "She doesn't look like our little baby anymore!" (I know, I know.. give us a first time parent break) But in the grand scheme of things she is still just a tiny, precious, helpless little creature who melts our hearts everyday. Much love Maya, much love.
