Cousins unite!

Dear Maya,

As I said in my previous post, yesterday was your first Culbert party! You ended up doing great...considering that yesterday morning you were really fussy and would NOT BREAST FEED!!! I got a little worried that you were liking the bottle too much and therefore tried holding off resorting to a bottle of breast milk. But you would not settle down and I could tell you were really hungry and you still wouldn't  breastfeed. So I finally resorted to pumping a bottle for you which you of course took like a champ!!! After this you were great the rest of the day and fortunately you didn't have anymore more problems breastfeeding.

You met a lot of new people yesterday....and they all thought you were beautiful, which of course I had to agree with! For the first time I didn't let people hold you because you had been fussy and I wanted to let you settle down and not get overstimulated. Once you had been calm for awhile then people got their turn.

The most exciting person you met yesterday was your second cousin Ethan!!!  Kaylee and I were due only 6 days apart but Ethan decided to come 6 weeks early! He fortunately did great but we hadn't met him yet. We were really excited that Adam and Kaylee decided to come to the party.  We set you and Ethan next to each other on the floor for a photo shoot and you were adorable. It was like you could sense each others presence and were happy next to each other! It was fun to talk baby with Adam and Kaylee. We could already imagine all the trouble you two will get into together in future summers at the cabin. (just like your parents did!!).

You continue to get lot of love from Grandma and Grandpa, Auntie Katy , Uncle Jeebo and Auntie Soni! The Tabatabi's are also up visiting and Lily loves you and does really well with you!

You continue to grow and change every day! You don't track with your eyes yet but you will suddenly fixate on something and stare for minutes at a time! I am not sure at what age you will start tracking, but I am looking forward to it!


 You and Grandpa-he likes to have you next him rather than holding you so he can look at you!


 Love this picture!

 You and Adam! You were very content when he was holding you! He is very gentle!


 Not sure how to rotate this picture! You and Ethan!


 The dads and their kiddos!

 Cousin Eric and you. He was also very sweet with you. 


 Your great Auntie Chris!
