Another week down. At 6 weeks YaYa is sleeping between 6-8 hours straight each night. She doesn't always go to bed at the same time which is a little confusing for mama but we are figuring it out. Last Friday she went to bed at 8pm, then Saturday she wouldn't fall asleep until 10:30pm. I think it depends on how well she naps, what activities we have down that day and if she is over-tired (normally takes her much longer to go down!). She is really a happy girl, she is starting to smile a lot which makes me so excited, like most parents we are doing anything to get her to smile... sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't but we keep on trying!

Maija normally takes 1 good solid nap each day for 3 hours, then I have to wake her. She is awake in between naps from 2-5 hours, really depends on what she feels like! Her other nap tends to be shorter 1-2 hours and she falls asleep whenever we are in the car or she is in the stroller. We are getting out and about a lot more and she is doing really well. She definitely has her fussy time starting at 4:30pm, it can be very exhausting if she is up until 10 after that. She calms down in the stroller so we might need to start some evening walks.

She was in the nursery for the first time at church on Sunday with a little 11 month old friend Jaxson. Apparently she slept most of the time, only waking to get a little bit of milk from her bottle. Speaking of bottle, she has been doing really well with it! She takes 1-3 a week and seems to have no problem. We are having our first babysitter on Saturday night, one of Ryan's coworkers! Excited for a little sushi date night with Ryan and we will only be a 1/2 mile away... just in case.

When Maija is propped up on her arms during tummy time she rolls herself over, I got a video of it today! (don't mind the Jewel lullaby music in the background, or my cheering)

I miss her so much everyday! And you two clowns as well! I want to hear her little noises and smell her intoxicating baby smell that I love!! Laura and Ryan, Maija really couldn't be blessed with better parents than you. She is as blessed to have you as you are to have her. I hope someday we'll be as good of parents as you are! Love you R.Rob's! Thank you for keeping up with this blog, it makes my week!
