Cute Dylanism 2

Aj was asking Dylan to pick up his toys out of the living room and have him take them to his room. Dylan had picked up 2 toys, and AJ asked him to pick up the last toy on the floor. Dylan then said that he couldn't pick it up cause he does not have octopus arms.

Maya Update

Maya is 5 weeks old tomorrow.

Here's what we have discovered so far.

Feeds: every 3 hours pretty much around the clock
Diapers: about 10 a day
Bedtime: 8 PM
Wakes: 6 AM

For the first month of her life, she rarely cried. She has know discovered that a earsplitting cry gets Mommy's attention much faster. She still has a whole symphony of squeaks and grunts.

She is learning to lift her head up, but is only able to do it for a few seconds.

Everytime she is awake, she feels like she should have a boob in her mouth. This is just like Dylan :)

She luckily rarely spits up, which is the opposite of Dylan. I have to admit it is kind of nice to not have to change her clothes and my clothes multiple times in a day.

Her first smile came very early in her first week of life. Now we are just waiting for the smile when she sees one of us.

Dylan is madly in love with his sister, almost too much. Hugs and kisses are a little rough, and interactions have to be supervised at a close distance.

Maya is starting to chunk up a little. This is nice because her arms and legs had an odd deflated appearance when she was born. She also had no butt, literally. She now has some nice chunky legs and really chubby cheeks.

I am convinced Maya looks like me, but everyone tells us that she looks like Dylan.

More info as it comes.

Pacifier Check

I apologize for not posting, but I think a new baby is a pretty good excuse :)

AJ and I tried to explain all the new baby stuff and what its purpose was to Dylan. We explained to him about the crib and how it kept the baby safe from rolling out of bed. We explained about pacifiers and how they can help soothe a baby and stop them from crying. Dylan wanted all the baby things to be his. The morning after we brought Maya home from the hospital, Dylan came out of his room and told me that pacifiers worked on 4 years old too. I asked him to explain this to me. He told me that he was out of bed in the night and went around putting all the pacifiers he could find in his mouth. Dylan decided that pacifiers kept him from crying too.

Aj and I are so glad to hear that all of Maya's pacifiers have been tested and approved by Dylan.
