A long overdue post!

As I'm sure you can imagine, things have been pretty busy in our household these days. I've been meaning to update the blog with pictures from her one month birthday and baptism. Well, we've now passed 6 weeks and I'm finally getting around to it!!

Maya is sleeping pretty well these days (furiously knocking on wood as I type that sentence). She's a little fussy in the evenings, but it is much better than it was a few weeks ago. She typically nurses quite a bit during the evening (cluster feeding), but then she'll usually sleep for 4-5 hours for the first stretch of the night. That stretch begins anywhere from 10:30 to 12:30, apparently depending on just how tired she would like to see mommy or daddy. :-) After that first stretch she'll generally sleep for 2-3 hours between feedings. Overall, not too bad for her age.

She's also starting to smile in response to smiles we give her. There is nothing better! She is a pretty happy and contented baby, with the exception of that evening fussiness. She has had some reflux so she is on Prevacid. Also, I have discovered that if I eat tomatoey (don't know if that is a word) things, she has a much rougher time than if I avoid it. So, no spaghetti or lasagna for me these days. Pretty much anything acidic that I eat tends to be hard on her (meaning projectile vomiting instead of just spitting up).

Here are some pictures. The first one is when she was one month and a couple days of age. She and Adan were showing off their big brother / little sister shirts.





Next is a couple pictures from her baptism last weekend.





And these are from tummy time today.
