Maia - 4 months (and some change...)

Awwww.  Baby Maia. I'm going to try to document all the wonderful wonderfuls about this little lady in the 4 months since she joined our family.

Maia is sweet, smiley, calm, curious, bright eyed and overall the happiest little baby ever. I'm pretty sure Heavenly Father knew the personality Boston would pack, so he set aside this little darling as a reward for keeping all parties alive so far.



At her appointment this week, she weighed in at 13 lbs. She is in the 5th percentile for height and head size and 20th for weight. Just a little thing, and she is perfect that way!   She started smiling around 8 weeks and hasn't stopped since. She gives huge, gummy smiles to anyone who will look at her. Sometimes she gets so overwhelmed with the HAPPINESS and EMOTION of it all that her entire body starts to shake and her face looks like it might break from smiling.

She can roll from front to back and back to front, but still has a look of "WHAT THE CRAP JUST HAPPENED?!" every time she does it. She has started scooting around the floor while on her back, and today after her nap I found her in the opposite end of her crib, facing the opposite direction of how I put her down.


She still has barely any peach fuzz to speak of, but I am happy to report her super insane widows peak indent seems to be filling in. Until she decides to grow some hair we will be rockin' the headband look.




She is an amazing sleeper, sleeping around 13+ hours a night, waking up once to eat. She loves her naps and has taken to sleep training incredibly well.

Boston still does great with her. Really amazing...considering how wild he is in most aspects of his life, he is very sweet and gentle with her. He calls her his "little lady" and loves to talk to her in the morning when she wakes up. He always talks to her in a very high-pitched voice, "Good morning, widdle wady! Did you sweep well? huuuuuh? did you? You're so pretty!"  It melts my heart every time.

She fits so well into our family. Its so funny to see how opposite she is from Boston already, I can't wait to see if it changes as she gets older. We you so, SO much little lady!
