Time is flying

Hi Maya

It has been a whole week since I wrote in here. This is becoming too much of a pattern.  Life is moving too fast. You are almost 4 months old. You continue to change, grow and develop everyday. Your Auntie Soni has been taking care of you and you are having a lot of fun together. Today you were really fussy for her. You wouldn't eat, you wouldn't sleep and you just wanted to be held. When your dad and I got home from work Grandma was rocking you in her arms as she walked around with you. You were holding your pacifier in your mouth and were totally awake looking around. Grandma had a dress that had been mine when I was little on you. I was finally able to get you to take a nap in your swing. I put a blanket around the swing so you couldn't see out. I think part of the problem is that you don't want to miss out and nap. (just like your daddy).  I think we might start needing to have you nap in your crib during the day so you will actually sleep!

Your core strength is continuing to increase. I like to make you sit and see how long before you topple over.  You actually do pretty well. I have been helping you roll over too, but you can't do it by yourself yet!

 You are close to reaching "suma wrestler" status just like your mama and Auntie. You are such a chunk. You still continue to run the show. Your Auntie Soni likes to call you the "tyrant" and I sometimes call you "the dictator".  Meaning what you say goes!! You like to squawk a lot and if we don't meet your needs quickly it can turn into a scream or cry.  That being said you are a really good baby and overall very happy. You are so cute when I get you out of your crib in the morning.  You are always smiling and when I turn the light on you move your head back and forth a lot with your eyes closed.

Well hopefully it won't be another week before I post. Love you Maya!
