12 Weeks Old!

It is crazy to think little cousin Abby was 12 weeks old when Maija was born 12 weeks ago!  It's also crazy to think I was scheduled to go back to work today!  I am not ready.  I am not sure when or if I will be ready to go back to work and thankfully my boss has been really understanding.  He told me to take my time.  For now I am starting unpaid leave and we will take in month by month with a lot of prayer on what the best thing to do is for us.

Coincidentally Maija had an awesome day yesterday, napping great, very smiling and laughing a ton then she woke up 5 times last night!  It was exhausting!  I know how spoiled we have been with our good little sleeper and I am thankful for that because I even had to drink coffee this morning I was so tired!  And to think I was supposed to start work today after that rough of a night. 

Maija has been screaming, laughing and talking a lot more.  Her favorite person, by far, is her daddy.  She gets so excited when he comes home and she just smiles and screams and wiggles around with excitement.  It just makes his day too :]  She loves her reading time.  We read from her Children's Bible and a few books a day.  She just studies the pictures and listens as I read to her.  She also has a fun time looking at herself in the mirror.  She will smile and coo and look bashfully at herself.  It is adorable.  She hasn't been fussing as much with tummy time.  She is up to 5-10 minutes a day!  This is a record for her.

She had a fun time this weekend with Sarah while we were celebrating Ryan's pirate birthday!  And she does so well in the nursery with Valerie on Sundays at church.  So thankful other people are so willing to take care of her so we can enjoy other parts of life a few hours a week!

Well after just 20 minutes she has decided she is done with her nap this afternoon.  Hope she sleeps tonight since her naps have been so short today!  Maybe our little girl is growing :]

Aren't those the most kissable lips?!
