Milestones of Sorts

Saturday, we stripped Maya down to her diaper and put her in her chair to feed her some acorn squash.  She liked the squash better than apple sauce but not as much as the butternut squash.  While we were feeding her we noticed that she was scratching her chest and stomach.  My poor rashy baby has learned to scratch herself.  Now we know that her rash does in fact itch.  Maybe this is contributing to her whiny and clingy behavior as of late.  We are having a hard time getting the latest flare up under control.  Also, milestone for me, I weighed myself Saturday and I'm back down to my prepregnancy weight.

Sunday, Maya went to the infant class for the second time.  The first time was two weeks ago.  She seems to enjoy it, taking everything in.  After class, we went to the nursery where Maya napped and I learned the lack of sleep is getting to me.  The lesson started and I was listening, then the next thing I knew everyone was singing again.  I didn't even feel like I was getting drowsy.  I was just out of it.  Sunday night we went out to eat with some friends.  Maya got her own empty kids cup and she was happy until she got too tired.  She fell sleep in the car and didn't wake up when we got home like she usually does.  Derek and I promptly fell asleep on the couch.

For labor day, we went to a friends house for a bbq.  Maya really enjoyed watching all the kids play.  The host had a mirror hanging in the hall which Maya enjoyed.  Hopefully they don't mind a little spit.  Maya was a little clingy so I was holding her while I ate.  She accidentally stuck the sleeve of her new sweeter in my chocolate pie, then she tried to do it again on purpose.  At least she slept well after all the excitement of the day.

Wednesday, Maya reached what I would call mobility.  It's almost crawling.  It's not pretty and it's not fast, but it seems to get the job done.  She also learned to drink from her straw sippycup.  Maya and I picked up her prescription cream for her rash and ran some other errands to get ready for our trip.

Maya and I leave today.  Hopefully this trip goes as smoothly as the last.
