life update

my mom's gone home. we had one week to ourselves (that went really well!) & now my sister is here & her husband just left after a quick weekend visit!

things are going well...

ms. maya had her one week check up & she'd gained 5 oz! i wasn't sure how she'd do on that front because she falls asleep fairly quickly during our feedings, but i've been told that just means she's an efficient eater! the doctor high-fived bryan & said we made good babies.

finn is still adapting amazingly well to life with competition for our attention. the only time he's shown a hint of jealousy is when bryan came into my office to get him & put him down for his nap- i was holding maya & finn was sitting in my lap as i answered some emails & finn said "no, daddy hold maya & mommy hold finn." but i think that was more about avoiding nap than real jealousy. he loves giving her kisses & always rubs her head gently to calm her down.

here are a few pictures!

we've gotten a couple really sweet bouquets with balloons on it, so the balloons "are for finn". he carries them around everywhere. he walked in one morning holding them & i asked him to climb up into bed with maya & these next few pictures are the result. they make my heart happy.



he asked if he could put maya in his belly & got mad when we sad he couldn't.

& then he gave her a hug & all was better.

maya has found her thumb a couple of times... which is a miller curse! but it's so darn cute.
nana & her first granddaughter!

my friend, "short jill", came by & did a portrait session of maya. this is one of my favorites from it... i was trying to calm her down after she got upset about peeing all over herself!

more pictures from the session coming soon!!

Yay for pictures. She's beautiful, Megan, and Finn looks like he's doing a great job as a big brother. I'm glad to see you are all doing so well!
