Maya hit 18 weeks today. I can't believe it's been that long since she was born. My mom, my brother, Maya, and I had professional photos done . They turned out pretty well but Maya wouldn't smile. She was to distracted by the camera and lights. We stopped by a fabric store on the way home. I would like to make stuff for Maya's nursery but I'm undecided on the theme and colors. I think I've narrowed it down to three options. Next time I'll drag Derek along to get his input. While we were at the fabric store Maya had a leaky diaper all over my mom's white shirt. This was the first with disposables since moving out of size 1s. I'm still torn on the whole diaper thing.

My family went home today. It was great to see them. I think we tired Maya out with all the running around we did while they were here. She slept all afternoon. Once she roused up so I sat her up but she just couldn't keep her eyes open. Her head kept bobbing so I snuggled her up again and she slept for a long time. She then stayed awake and was quite noisy during church. She really like to talk and blow raspberries these days. Her cry has changed recently. We were given three bags of hand-me-downs tonight. And we may also be getting a high chair from the same lady.

Maya rolled from back to belly this morning. She still could get her arm free but it didn't stop her from making it over.
She had her four month well baby visit today. I can't believe how much she has grown in these 4 months. We saw a 3 day old little boy in the waiting room. He was a little over a pound heavier than Maya was at birth. He seemed so tiny. Maya weighs more than I thought. She is up to 14 lbs 4 oz and 24.25 in. That's just above the average for weight and just below it for the length. Her head was still above average. Not bad considering she started out around the 5th percentile in all three. She started wearing 3-6 month sleepers last night because the smaaler ones were getting too short. They make her look huge. Apparently I do grow her better on the outside.
The pediatrician said she looks perfect. We talked about starting solids. She recommended waiting a month or two since Maya is growing well and in general sleeping well (although for the past week she's been waking up more for some reason). Maya is starting to show interest in food and drinks. I'm happy waiting a while though. She's growing up too fast already. Maya decided the doctor is a stranger and she should be afaid of her. She cried as much during the exam as she did during the shots. She didn't even cry during the first shot. Although the second shot resulted in the chin quiver which we haven't seen in a while. The pediatrician was a little surprised she was exhibiting stranger anxiety already. I calmed Maya down. She then ignored the doc refusing to look at her or her light for the eye exam. That's my girl.
We have seen the stranger anxiety a few other times. Someone said hi to her a week or so ago and she stuck out her bottom lip before bursting into tears. It seems pretty inconsistent though. Sometimes she's ok and other times not. Maybe it depends on her general mood.

| I put her on her back and when I looked over this is what I found. |

| She fell asleep on the way home from the pediatrician and had a good nap in the afternoon. She seems back to normal today. |
