Maya at 3 months

After Amelia, I didn't think there was a better baby. But Maya has shown her up! Here is what she is up to at 3 months old:

  • She has just started figuring out her hands. She started by putting her hands together. Now she can see a toy and grab for it, sometimes she actually gets it and brings it straight to her mouth.
  • She loves reading books. She just stares at the colors on the pages and smiles at my voice inflections. In not as ideal news, she loves the tv and will maneuver her body so she can see it.
  • She does a head spin. Her head stays in the same place, her body rotates all around. She also scoots backwards when she's on her back. She is dying to move!
  • She smiles and even laughed (once) while I sing Patty Cake and move her arms to the motions. She also enjoys Itsy Bitsy Spider. 
  • She really loves Amelia and smiles when Amelia talks to her. And will also move her body so she can see and watch Amelia. 
  • She has upgraded from her bassinet to her pack n play, still in our bathroom because we are classy that way. I am just not ready to move her across the apartment to share a room with Amelia. Her cry is just so tiny still. 
  • She is sleeping 10+ hours through the night without a peep. Although recently she's been breaking out of her swaddle so I've had to wake up once or twice to put her binky back in and re-swaddle.
  • She is an awesome eater and I just die over her chubby cheeks and legs.
  • She plays by herself and when she starts to fuss, I know she just needs help falling asleep. Easy peasy.
And of course I did a photo shoot today. I am loving these gorgeous pictures I got. 



 Dying over this pic.

 This is what happened when I removed Amelia's hand from her mouth. Take note of the shock in Maya's eyes.


 Amelia started goofing off at this point, but Maya was all business.


 Gorgeous piercing eyes in this one, reminiscent of this picture of Amelia at 3 months:
They sure know how to Smile with their eyes.

 Her sweet little hands together.

 I couldn't resist the mid-sneeze.

And her monkey toes. 

I don't think she could get any cuter! Happy 3 months to our dear Maya.

oh I can't get enough of these pictures. I just love the one of Maya looking up. So precious. She is such a good baby and she seems to be very alert and advanced for how old she is.
