5 weeks old.

Little Maija had a very busy week.  She got to meet her Grandma, Uncle Andrew, Aunt Karissa and Aunt Katie.  She got to go on a few adventures: to the park, many walks, Kohls, out to dinner at a Chinese Restaurant, In and Out, professional family pictures and she was even dedicated at church on Sunday.

She is still sleeping really well and going to bed a little earlier these days.  This means she gets up 2 times in the night, which I am still getting used to.  She gets tired by 8:30pm so instead of having her stay up fussy until 10pm so we all get a long night of sleep I put her down at 8:30.  This week I might try the "dream feeding" people talk about, but I am not sure how it works exactly.  I was told not to wake a sleeping baby at night so I am a bit conflicted!

  • YaYa is smiling a lot more and directly at people!  Yesterday when I got her up from her nap she gave me the biggest smile, my heart melted...
  • She doesn't hate her baths anymore.  Ya!
  • She can be left on her mat [happily] for 20-30 minutes at a time, good exercise for her and a good break for mama's back since she still doesn't like her swing.
  • Tummy time is still not her favorite thing but she has rolled herself over a few times from the front to back just to try to get out of it.  She is a strong girl!
  • She is cooing and making a lot of noise these days, sounding so sweet practicing those vocals!
