12 Weeks Today!

This weekend was a busy one for our family. On Saturday we headed over to cousin Samara's birthday party at Chucky Cheese. Amaya spent some time in Grandma Carol's arms and we got a few pictures of the birthday girl who was very excited! After that we headed over Grammie's house and visited there before running over to Uncle Bob and Aunt Celia's house for Cousin Julian's birthday party. Whew!

Amaya got to spend time with Auntie C while daddy swam and belly flopped into the pool. I on the other hand took so many photos of all the kids and I got some great shots. It was so hot but I think everyone was happy that Bob and Celia opened up their beautiful yard for the shindig.



Sadly, we are heading into the final days of Amaya being two months old. I'm not sure where the time has gone but she is changing everyday. While her eye lashes and eye brows continue to grow, her hair has decided that it wants to fall out. I'm hoping that she keeps her reddish brown tint when it grows back. Amaya still prefers to sleep in our bed much to my horror. I'm still hoping that we can transition her back to her bassinet it's hard since it feels so nice to just sleep for long periods of time. Serves me right since I had a really strong opinion about co-sleeping but like my mommy group moderator says, "Do what works for you."

Swimming!!

On Saturday we went to a b-day party for my cousin's son Julian. It was originally going to  be at one of the local parks, but since it was going to be around 100 degrees she changed it to my aunt and uncles house. Well they just so happen to have a really nice pool and we decided to let Amaya try out the water. Now it was only for a few minutes since the sun was beating down, but I really think she liked it. Hopefully in a few months we can enroll her in some swim classes, I want her to be a water bug.

Tummy Time...

We tried to get a video last night with the digital camera, but the video did not save for some reason. You would have been able to hear her grunting and groaning about how much Amaya hates tummy time, but she was doing mini pushups. Amaya can lift herself up pretty well now, this picture was taken about a week and a half ago, and does not show how high she really lifts her head. 

Now with video:

11 Weeks Today

Seriously, where does the time go? Everyday I look at my baby girl in wonder and awe. We brought her home barely 4 pounds and now she is probably about 9 pounds of smiley glory. She is sleeping much longer through the night, waking up 1-2 times for a quick snack before falling back into her dreaming. By the way I tell P that I think she dreams of "mommy milk."

She smiles so much it really does make me a sappy mess.

Current milestones include lifting her head up for longer periods. Everytime she does this I cringe because #1- Her head is always bobbly and I'm afraid she'll smash it down and #2- this means she is growing up even more :( I know I should be thrilled considering she was a itty bitty preemie but this time is flying by so fast!!
