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.
