Our little sunshine!

Changing so much!

She is changing so much. She loves to look at herself in the mirror and just laugh. She loves to be sang to. She loves to hear her papa's voice. She loves to go outside with papa. She doesn't love things on her head. She loves to eat. She loves to stand up like a big girl. She loves to talk and giggle. She loves to listen to music. She is loved!!!

Growin'

Boy how time flies. School has started, mom is back to work, and papa has a new full time job taking care of his lil' girl. Things are going really good. I miss being home and wish I didn't have to work. She is changing so much and ready to roll over. She really likes swinging her legs from side to side. We are constantly trying to keep up with how much she eats. Everyday it seems like it is changing. Papa helped her find her piggies and now she won't leave them alone. She is trying to put them in her mouth all the time. We have another wedding this weekend and Maite gets to see her name sake again. We are so excited to see all the extended family.

Maite is just over 25 inches long and I haven't weighed her for awhile but I think she is about 13 pounds now.

13 weeks

Maite is now 13 weeks and eatting a lot. We started her on some cereal to try and keep her a bit more satified. We put some in her bottle and try and feed her with the spoon every once in awhile. She is laughing and smiling and talking more and more each day. Sitting up is becoming easier for her and she would much rather be sitting then be held. She still loves her swing. She's sleeping for five hours at a time, which we very much appreciate, but she doesn't nap much at all through the day. She makes us laugh all the time...what a joy.

Maite is growing like crazy. She is now eatting 6 ounces and is sleeping from 9 to 3 then again till 7 in the morning. I love the feeling of getting up in the morning and not needing a nap from being up all night. She never fusses at night when I put her back down. She is taking naps during the day and does not like to go down. There is a bit of crying but soon she falls asleep. I cannot believe how happy she is. It makes everyday so wonderful to look at her and she recognizes our faces and smiles. It is a true love that cannot be described. We are so lucky.

Andrew is still harvesting 3rd cutting and should be done in about 4 - 5 days. We have had a lot of fires here in NV and a storm the other night brought back worries of last years fire. I don't want to go through that again. When the thunder and lightning starts I get up from bed and start thinking of what I am going to grab when the fire starts. On the 26th it will be one year since the fire last year. Andrew says I am crazy for worrying but I can't help it, I love my STUFF! I get to go work in my classroom next Wednesday, since the janitors will be out and it will be clean. I am going to try to get everything done before the reunion. :)

8 weeks

We traveled to Reno to go to the doctor for Maite's shots. Her regular doctor had a little boy the day before our appt. so we saw a different Ped. She is 23.5 inches long and weighs 10 pounds. The doctor said that she is petite. She cried for about 5 minutes after her shots and didn't get a fever. The nurse was really good and very quick. Thank goodness.
