Maeve, 5 Fantastic Months

So hard to believe, isn't it?

Our magical mystical queen has emerged and made her presence known. She is a charmer for sure!!!

How can I possibly explain this little woman?

Maeve is amazing. When she is crying and sad, if she looks you in the eye, she will smile through her tears to make you smile.

Maeve is sleepy! She is now sleeping from 7 at night 7:30 AM. Dream feeds are gone and she is officially a sleepyhead. She still naps every few hours during the day for about an hour. I am ready for her to transition to a morning and afternoon nap, but she is still too sleepy for that.

Maeve is transportable (Paul's description: go lucky, adaptable). We went to the Please Touch Museum last weekend and she stayed awake without a single tear for the entire time. We went to a friend's house last night and she danced in her door swing forever and then went right to sleep in a pack and play.

Maeve is hungry! The little woman can eat a whole bowl of applesauce! She has eaten pears, carrots, sweet potatoes, yellow squash, apples, cereal and bananas. She lurches forward to eat her food and chomps it down easily. Of course, when she is not in the mood, she purses her lips and refuses everything.

Maeve LOVES her brother! She is simply giddy when when he directs his attention to her. On the flip side, Noah always says "Mommy, why does Maeve have to sleep so much?"

Maeve is a chomper! She ATTACKS her hands and it is a wonder that she still has fingers! She seems like she is teething, but there are no hard bumps in her mouth. She is constantly drooling and is always chewing on something.


She's a little thing, but sweet as can be.

Her hair is lightening a little bit and sometimes she looks more like Noah than she did. She is talking up a storm and just babbles away. There's so much more to say, but it will just have to wait!!! We love you Maevey-gravy!
