Baby Maylee Update

First off, I hope all received Maylee's beautiful baby announcement! It took me awhile to get it sent, I apologize, but at least it finally got done! I also wanted to clarify for anyone who may have been wondering...Maylee IS NOT an asian name. I get so mad at Paul when he calls her MayWee. It's not funny and if you know me well you know how particular I am about calling and spelling my girls' names CORRECTLY! Now that we've got that out of the way...on to a Maylee update!

I can't believe our beautiful tiny Maylee is nearing two months old! I say the days go by slow, but the weeks fly by! She has started to regularly sleep 6 hours straight at night, which is AWESOME. I'm hoping in the next week or two she will start sleeping 8 hours straight! She naps like a champ during the day...in her swing of course. She loves to be moving...either rocking or swaying or bouncing in someone's arms. She has started to smile every now and again...haven't caught it on camera yet though. Her dimple is very apparant and her eyes still seem to be staying blue. **Fingers crossed** She has been having a more difficult time after each feeding with the spit up and gas. I'm sure she has reflex just like Brooklynn did. We have turned to large receiving blankets now for burp rags because SO much comes up that the tiny burp rags just weren't cutting it anymore. We like to follow feedings with tummy time to help get everything up that wants to come up. Needless to say she fusses quite a bit after each feeding cause her belly hurts. I feel so bad. We give her some gas medicine to help, and sometimes I see that it does. She is getting really long but still feels really tiny. Just a few days ago we moved up to size 1 diapers. She still fits in the newborns but size 1 just seemed more comfy! Still wearing newborn clothes, and some of those still look so big on her! I have tried 0-3 month sizes as well, they all seem too big on her but oh well! Her hair seems to have thinned a little, but luckily no balding spots YET! Paul and I were just trying last night to remember when Brooklynn's hair started to go crazy and we think it was around 3 months, so we will see if Maylee's will do the same.

I was just thinking the other day, it's amazing how much laundry I do now as a family of four and how many trips to the grocery store I make. Those two things happen very frequently...can't imagine what those two activities will feel like as our family continues to grow!

love her announcement

All ready to go bye-bye

Wouldn't be a complete, real post without a crying picture.
But she is still so cute! Tears and all!

I'm so glad Maylee joined our family. Everyday feels like a blessing. I have my moments of frustration and exhaustion, but I wouldn't change my life for anything...it is what I have always wanted! I am so grateful. My girls are angels to me...true gifts from God. I had no idea that I could love someone so deep...let alone 2 of them! (And Paul too of course..that's a given right?)
