After 3 weeks Maya is finally smiling and not because of gas! It's the most precious thing we have ever seen. As soon as I handed Maya to Jason she started smiling (somebody loves her daddy). It was pure luck that we were even able to get this picture, since her smiles don't last long and our camera has a very annoying delay. We were thrilled to see that we were finally able to catch her smile!
Lately our little angel has been demanding that I hold her for her naps. If I wait until I think she's sound asleep to put her in her bassinet then she wakes up ten minutes later, this is not fun when you have a screaming baby and still need to rinse the conditioner out of your hair. This past week she gave me one hour every day where I could either get my shower, clean the house or take a nap without her making a sound, so I've had a very tired and somewhat smelly week. Jason has definitely been a huge help, at 4am Saturday when Maya decided she was up for the day he took her so I could get some much needed sleep! Oh, and what did Nana say when I told her about the week I had? She laughed. Thanks Mom.
She is so adorable when she sleeps! Not only is she finally quiet but she just looks like a little angel.
Jason snapped this photo with his phone a couple of weeks ago. He keeps it as his wallpaper so she's the first thing he sees when he opens his phone.
Last week I took Maya to the Doctor for a checkup on her jaundice. Since she was 4 weeks old and it hadn't cleared up the Doctor decided to take some blood and make sure her liver was doing ok. I was thinking they would just take it from her heel like they did in the hospital but they said it needed to come from her arm. Poor Maya didn't like it at all. She was pretty upset but I noticed that she actually cried harder the night before because I tried to put her down so I could make dinner than she did because she had a needle in her arm, so that made me feel a little better about putting her in that situation. She didn't hold a grudge though, by the time we got home she was all smiles.
