20 Weeks

Two weeks ago Maya first started looking at her feet.  Sunday she was chewing on her toes and giggling about it.  Too cute.  Now she grabs her feet anytime she is on her back.  Not that she is on her back that much.  Now that she can roll from back to belly, she seems to prefer to be on her tummy.  She is always rolling over if you put her on her back.  She doesn't always remember how to roll from belly to back though.  On the days that she does, she rolls all over the place.  She's going to be mobile soon.  I'm not sure I'm ready for that.  She really strong.  (The doctors and nurses have commented on it since she was tiny) She will be sitting and crawling it no time.

Maya tried out her crib some this past week.  Thursday night we put her in it for a bit before were went to bed.  We have also been trying to transition some of her naps into it.  She usually naps in my lap which is nice but makes it hard to get anything done.  The new found skill of rolling over isn't making transitioning to the crib easy. We put her down, she stirs a little, and then she's on her belly.  It usually wakes her up.  And since she doesn't always remember how to get onto her back, we have to go in and flip her back over.  By this time it usually too late, she's too worked up, and we have to start the nap process all over. Today was the first really successful nap in the crib.  She did flip over to her belly but it didn't wake her up.  I just let her sleep but checked in on her regularly since she likes to try to bury her nose.  While she napped I worked on her nursery crafts.  I picked up fabric on Friday and have slowly been making progress.  I'll post some pictures when I have more done.  Hopefully we will have more nap success and it won't take me long to finish.  We set up a video camera set in the nursery so I can watch her on the tv while I sew.  Worked out pretty well.

We have not attempted the crib at night yet.  We set the crib up in her room and I'm not ready to move her in there overnight.  I'm not sure when I'll be ready but she's going to outgrow her bassinet soon.  Thursday night, after she slept in her crib for the first time, I had a dream that she was kidnapped.  Even though we brought her into our room when we went to bed, I was apparently having separation anxiety just thinking about it.

As of Thursday, Maya has now be on the outside half as long as she was on the inside.  Funny how the nine months of pregnancy, especially the first 4.5, seemed to drag by but since she's been born time seems to have flown.  On a semi related note, I wore my normal prepregnancy dress pants on Sunday.  I hadn't tried them on in a while and was excited that they fit.

Ooh, I have toes.

Staring out the window deep in thought.
