Hi Love,
We just got back from going out to lunch with Diana and you fell asleep in your carseat. You are due for you nap anyway so I am just leaving you be!
You continue to be into everything, and now you can get yourself to where you want to be! You aren't crawling yet, but you can scoot pretty darn good on your but. I will look over at you and suddenly you won't be where I left you!!! You are also rolling more from your back to your belly and really lifting your head up so I wouldn't be surprised if you start crawling soon.
You love to "talk" and you "talk" loudly! (just like me). You have the ba, da and ma sounds down really good. You love to hear your own voice. Your dad will put you on his knee and you bounce you up and down and then you really like to scream and hear your voice vibrating. We all get a kick out of it.
You continue to eat like a champ. I think you are probably ready for some chunkier food. I might give you some small pieces of banana today and maybe even cheerios soon!
You are still getting up to eat at night-you stinker!!! I thought I had weaned you of that as you slept through the night 3-4 nights in a row, but then you started to wake up again! You are getting your second tooth and I wonder if that is contributing to it. But I think you are truly hungry! You must be going through a growth spurt. I am so tired at night I don't have it in me to let you cry it out! Oh well.
Tomorrow you are having your "6 months" pictures (even though you are now 7 months). I am excited. I just have to figure out what you should wear!
We are heading to San Diego this Wednesday. We will see how you do on your first airplane ride. I am excited to have you swim in the hotel pool and to take you to the San Diego Zoo. Uncle Majid and Auntie Katy are meeting us there so it will be great to spend some time with them. You have changed so much since they last saw you over Christmas. Auntie Soni is flying out with us too so you will get lots of quality time with her.
You are at such a fun stage right now. I am trying to treasure all the moments as I know you will grow up fast......

7 months old!
Hi Maya Love,
You are seven months old today. Hard to believe you have been part of our family for 7 whole months. I of course took your seven month picture today. You still fit into the same cute little onsie that Amber and Drew got you so I couldn't resist having your wear it. Every time I think it is going to be the last time! So we will see for your 8 month picture.
In other big news, you are getting your second tooth! Right next to where you got your first one. You haven't even been that fussy with it. You are such a trooper. You definitely have been chewing away on things. You have all these fantsy rattles, chew things and of course you would rather chew on your baby lotion container or a plastic bag or a cloth!!! Silly girl.
You are really becoming quite the scooter. When I come to get your after your nap you are never in the same position that I left you. I peeked in on you today after I put you down in you crib and you were horizontal in the crib, on your side with your legs poking out between the bars of the crib. You love to have a little blankie with you in the crib. You put it right by your face. Mary says you do the same thing at daycare.
You are continuing to eat well. I am going to start feeding you real food twice a day every day! You are also rolling over really well now, especially from your stomach to your back. I think it is because you don't love being on your stomach. But if you have enough toys to play with you will stay on your tummy for a little bit. I can also stand you up next to the ottoman and with your hands on the ottoman you can stand by your self.
Yesterday I bought you some new toys so it has been fun to watch you play with them. You continue to be into everything!! You love to play with your diapers, wipes and lotion bottles.
You continue to love your baths and now I can put you in the tub with out the laundry basket and you are really stable. You put your legs out really wide though!!! You are smart about things like that.
Well time to give you your antibiotics and get you to bed!!!
Love,
Mama!

One my favorite patients made you this adorable sweater. She made it to match the one she had made me!!!
Daddy dressed you this day. He decided to put in your bike kit!!
Yummy! You were eating a pear/apple combo here!
7 month picture!! It is getting harder to get you to sit still!!!

First weekend away from me...
Hi Maya Love,
I left you for the whole weekend for the first time this last weekend. I had a baby shower in Chicago for Amber! I was excited for the baby shower but sad to be away from you for over 2 days! Your dad took you up to Little Falls for the weekend, so you got to spend time with Grandma Helen and lots of Aunts and Uncles. You did great!!! You ate really well for you dad, including real food. You love your sweet potatoes!!! You are eating real food like a champ lately. You still make a big mess though!!! I did miss you....I had fun...but I just felt like something wasn't quite right...I will admit it was nice to sleep hard for two nights with out having to worry about you waking up! You, Lucy and your dad picked me up at the airport and you gave me a big smile!!! I was of course really excited to see you. Overall I think the weekend was a success. Now I know I can be away from you and that I will be okay.
You got your first major cold last week. I felt so bad for you, but I think it was harder on me than you! You had a cough and a really runny nose. Your eyes were all glassy. You were more tired than usual but still were able to eat well, which was important. You are feeling a lot better this week but still have a really runny nose. You pretty much are always blowing snot bubbles out of your nose. And then of course you hate it when we wipe your nose, you little stinker.
I don't want to jinx things, but you slept from 8pm to 6:30 am!!! Through the night!! Yeah. I knew you had it in you. Lets see if we can keep it going.
I think you are growing taller and leaning out a little. You just don't seem as dense. I can't believe how fast you change. Even over the weekend you changed!!!
I have been trying to put you to bed with out your pacifier. It takes you longer to fall asleep but you eventually do. I just don't want you to be dependent on you.
You love to play with your blocks that your "Auntie Amber" got you. Your Grandpa thinks you are very thoughtful and cautious with things. I think he is right. If there is a block in front of you that you quite can't reach you will lean really far forward to get it but not to the point where you fall over. You still don't like to roll from you back to your stomach but can easily roll from you stomach to your back!
Love you Mayabird!!!

Fun, Fun, Fun
Hi Maya,
You are fast asleep in your crib. Let's cross our fingers and hope you sleep through the night. I am not betting on it, especially because your last feeding this evening was not huge. You kept just looking around. You are easily distractable these days! As fun as it to feed you, sometimes I get frustrated because just as I am about to put the spoon in your mouth you move your head and you get a big glob of baby food somewhere it wasn't meant to be...like in your eye, on your nose, on your cheeks, etc!!! I fed you sweet potatoes today and I think you liked them. You eat about 2 ounces at a time.
You continue to LOVE your baths! I now put a laundry basket in the bathtub for you to sit it. It works perfectly! You still sometimes fall over and end up being submerged for a brief period. You don't cry though, you are tough!!! I am excited to take you swimming in a real pool when we go to San Diego!
You still don't love to roll over but will do it every once in a while when you really want to get to a toy. You are actually really good at "self" play as dad and I like to say. We can plop you on the ground with some toys around you and you will play, play, play.
You are at such a fun stage right now! I love just watching you as you play. You look so intently at everything you pick up. You like to pick up something in each hand and then put them together. We still can't tell if you are right or left handed. You are continuing to make tons of sounds. I think you may even say "daddy" at times, but not on purpose. You like to throw out an occasional scream sometimes to, I think you like to hear your voice. You started blowing raspberries yesterday when we were at the vet with Lucy.
Thank you Maya for bringing so much joy to our lives!
