Weeks 5 and 6

Maya continues to grow and become more attentive to the world around her. She enjoys tummy time, staring at lights and moving objects, and being held. Maya weighed in at 9 pounds, 2 ounces at her six week doctor's appointment...she is officially more round than tall (now 22 inches big). Her appearance continues to change and her personality continues to grow; we are having so much fun watching in amazement as the changes occur. Over the past 2 weeks, Maya had the chance to meet her second cousins, go on a daycation to the beach, and spend time with her Saba and Savta.

4 Weeks

Maya continues to wake up to the world around her. This week she began looking at and tracking objects, smiling in response to her parents' voices and moving objects, cooing and making "pleasure sounds", and being a better eater and sleeper. Maya also discovered her hands and is in constant pursuit of getting her thumb in her mouth. We are enjoying watching her grow and learn every day.

George and Maya had a hard time cooperating during the photo shoot...

Put on your yarmulke it's time to celebrate Chanukah

Maya had a very exciting 3rd week of life. We celebrated Chanukah and New Years Eve and visited with good friends. Maya's favorite activities are sucking on her pacifier, staring at her parents, eating every few hours, and sleeping. As you can see, a day in the life of Maya is very busy.

Can I please have my pacifier, George?
