She is NO Newborn

I was just watching a video of a friend's baby on youtube (how do you put video on there anyway?). And of course on the side bar, a million other baby videos lined up to trick me into wasting time watching cute little videos of strangers' babies. But it led me to this realization--maya is NO newborn! She no longer stares at nothing (at least not normally). Her eyes work in unison most of the time. She doesn't do those weird herky-jerky movements (except when she pokes herself in the eye because she's mad because she's hungry). She looks at us when we talk to her (most of the time). She smiles and does something very close to a laugh. She tries to stand up and looks around with this very proud of herself look. She kicks her legs like crazy. She scoots down in the crib so that when we go to get her she's all catty-wampus. She makes a little yelp sound that i'm pretty sure will turn into a, "NO!" at some point. I had already forgotten what newborns even look and act like. This girl is growing and changing so fast! She is NO newborn!
