What We Have Learned

Today is Maya's 2 week birthday and her Nana and Grandpa leave in the middle of the night tonight. We wanted to recount the things that we have all learned about her in the two weeks they've been here. . .

1. She has 4 major "expressions":
Creepy stare
Concerned
Chill
Content

2. She doesn't like to be naked

3. She doesn't like it when you hold both of her hands

4. If she's frustrated, she shakes her head back and forth furiously
(like a dog shaking)

5. She has already stopped doing the cry that she cried at first, which
we called the Velociraptor cry. Now her cry just sounds like a normal
boring baby.

6. We think she has 2 dimples. One we're certain she will have
when she smiles, the other we think we've seen when she's passing gas, but we're not sure.

7. She likes to poop right after you change her diaper.

8. She will poop or pee on you as soon as you leave her exposed without
a diaper or wipe within reach.

9. She's an extremely content baby--when she's not wet, poopy or
hungry she is happy as a lark.

10. She's a great little road-trip baby. She's already been on a
long road trip that included lots of changes in elevation, and she only cried once and it lasted all of about 15 seconds.

11. She likes the ocean and the mountains (she's already been to
both).

12. She can recite the declaration of independence (just curious to see if someone actually read all of these).

13. She holds her head up a lot already and likes to look around.

That's about all. We will all cry a lot when Nana and Grandpa leave
tonight. . .
