A Happier Peanut

We were pretty lazy today.  We lounged around the house and watched soccer.  Then in the evening we went shopping.  Maya was a sweetie all day.  She was full of smiles when she was awake.  And she went to sleep without screaming for all of her naps.  She cried a little bit at bedtime but nothing rocking and singing couldn't take care of.  I really need to learn some more lullabies though.

Maya is really starting to show an interest in her toys.  She doesn't reach for stuff yet.  But if you put it on her chest or beside her, she frequently accidently grabs it and chews on it.  Last night, Derek was holding Maya and talking to me while I cooked pasta.  I thought that she might be interested in me shaking the box since she's into rattles, but instead it startled her.  She about jumped out of Derek's arms everytime.  It was pretty funny.  She also loves to suck on wash cloths when we give her a bath.  Tonight she got more water than she expected and got choked a bit.  She still hasn't rolled over as much as she did a week ago.  She's done it a time or two but not consistently like the day I made the videos.  I think she could roll from back to belly if she wanted to.  She frequently roll from her back to her side.  She's growing up to fast.  She starting to grow into the small 3-6 months clothes but is still mostly wearing 0-3 and a few of the large newborn things.  Her soccer shirt below is 3-6.

Despite the team's loss Maya was happy

The diaper covers arrived yesterday.  We tried them out this morning with the fitted.  I need to learn to fold flat and prefolded diapers to fit in them.  So far no leaks with the cloth.  I'm still not sure if I want to go all in on them.  We bought some size 1-2 diapers, which are in between size 1 and size 2, for our upcoming trip to see Derek's family. Hopefully they will fit better.  Explosive poops on a plane don't sound like fun.

This is Maya from Thursday.  This is pretty representative of how she's been the past two weeks.  I love her and someday I will probably miss this but it's exhausting.
