I just put you to bed and you are already fussing. I knew you would even before I put you down as you have been very feisty this evening! A little girl on a mission. You have been scooting around and CRAWLING around and getting into things. Tonight you even pulled yourself up by the cupboard into a standing position! Those are two big milestones. Although you still love to scoot I think you have now realized that you can get somewhere faster if you crawl. You now do a hybrid of crawling and scooting. You like to crawl more on the carpet than the hardwood floors. Well back to tonight. You were a little hard to please...and you attention span was short...so it was hard to keep you happy so I decided to just put you to bed as I thought you were just tired, even though you napped really well at daycare today.
You continue to eat well. For dinner we usually just give you part of what we are having and cut it up and you go to town with it. Of course you make a HUGE mess, so it hard to know how much goes into your tummy versus onto the floor.
Now time to talk about our "sleep issues". So last week I started giving you some oatmeal with milk before you went to bed. The first night you didn't wake up to eat until 4ish, the next night it wasn't until 4:30 and the following two nights you slept through the night. So your dad and I were feeling pretty good about things and proud of ourselves for figuring out how to get you to sleep through the night. But then of course you decided to prove to us that you run the show and have been waking up again!!! The last two nights it was around 2 even-which is early!! And now you won't eat much of the oatmeal that I try to feed you. These are all good lessons and make us parents realize that just when we have things figured out you CHANGE!. I even made you this homemade mixture of apples, raisins, cinnamon and oatmeal to eat at night. But it was too sweet for you and you want nothing to do with it. What are were going to do with you- I guess just love you!!!
In other news you got to meet your possible future husband this past weekend-Charlie Dean! And boy is he a cutie!!! You found him pretty interesting. Although you were a little rough with him. He is only 8 weeks old! Your dad and I had a wedding Saturday night (Susan and Claytons) so you spent the night with Auntie Soni and your dad and I spent the night in a hotel. It was the first time you were away from both of us. But you did great with Auntie Soni and dad and I enjoying sleeping through the night and not having to get up early.
Other tidbits....you love to pull your socks off and according to Mary you like to pull Hudson and Brody's socks off too. You little stinker. Your favorite "toy" right now are socks, shoes and laundry. You are so cute. You will pull everything of a laundry basket if I let you. You also like to scoot around with a shoe in EACH hand!!! You also love opening cupboard doors and pulling open drawers and exploring whatever you find inside.
Well Maya love, you truly are at a fun and amazing stage. It is so fun to watch you grow and develop each day. As you grow you become more and more independent!!! I have a feeling you are going to be a confident and feisty young lady when you get older!!!
