Hello, hello!

I know, bad bloggers! shame on us!

But with the Holidays we have been enjoying our time as a family plus our cool new gifts have taken most of our time.... we have a new Playstation 3 and Rock Band 2 and LOVE them!!

Anyway, just wanted to share this since it won't be up on the site for long. Do you see a familiar face?

This kid is weird!

Yesterday she passed out at 4:30pm and just continued sleeping.... she woke up around 11pm to eat and get changed into PJ's and a night time diaper and off she went again.

This is getting ridiculous... it seems like we never get enough time with her! Is there such a thing as too much sleep??

I guess I can't blame her for being tired.... we had a busy day yesterday and she didn't get a chance to take a good nap. This isn't the first time this happened so I should have known.

The 4 monsters

She loves her furry siblings


Why bother cleaning your baby's ears when you have a dog that can do it for you?


Matching poses

This makes me smile..

Christmas gifts frustration

So I'm sitting here waiting for 3 gifts to be delivered to me and I have no contact with the seller!! I have no idea if she shipped them or not and the worse part is.... 7 kids won't get their presents because of these 3 missing... I mean I can' send something to one sibling and not the other, right? so they are all on hold until things get figured out.

The many faces of Maja

When she wants to, she can be quite funny looking:

Check out the drool hanging off her chin:




She almost looks evil in this one:




and her signature look "Deer in the headlights"

Look who can sit up!

It's her new favorite thing to do... almost tied with standing :)

Drool monster

Should we take a poll on when the first tooth will appear?


Ok, the pic is pretty small here but if you saw it full size, you'd see the drool coming out of her!

Maja meets Santa

Don't you totally see Jeff having those moves for real?

"Baby, it's cold outside..."

How cool are those icicles?

Maja's 4 months stats

Height 26.5 inches (waaay out of the charts)
Weight 15 lbs 75%
Head 70%

She is doing great and today she finally pooped after 16 days... her new record :).

For those wondering, she does not have constipation issues. This type of thing is normal in breastfed babies and the lack of poopy diapers sure makes cloth diapering easy :).

Maja's bum is famous :)

Look here... we are very happy with the diaper :)

More cute hat pics

Maja and her Christmas hats

She also has a regular Santa hat that she wore for her pictures with the big guy last weekend. As soon as I get around to scanning it, I'll be sure to share :)

2 weeks and no poop!

Tomorrow marks 2 weeks. Or at least as far back as I can tell she hasn't pooped. I honestly don't remember when she pooped before that so technically it could be longer!

She doesn't seem to mind but this is getting ridiculous.

Getting our Christmas tree

Maja all ready to go


Look at all that snow

This kid rocks!

How many babies to you know that actually yell at you for trying to HELP them go to sleep???

We got one! Seriously! She wants nothing to do with any help. If you even attempt to nurse/rock/read/cuddle/whatever she will get mad... all she wants is to be put in bed with her paci, blanket and mobile and off she goes to sleepyland.
If she is really tired, she won't even enjoy tickle time with Daddy while getting changed... she will just fuss until you get her PJ's on and will stop and turn her head to her blankie as soon as you lay her down.

I miss my snuggle-bug! The grass always looks greener on the other side of the fence :(

Love those baby blues!

Yep... she is trying to eat her feet :)

What are the odds of this happening???

Getting 2 dogs, 1 baby and 1 adult with an attention spam shorter then that of said baby; to look at the camera for a picture???

I guess pretty good:

Maja and Chayney

They were born 12 days apart. Grandma had some fun dressing the girls in matching outfits:

Other random photos

Is there anything sweeter then a sleeping baby?


Me and my girl


Love this toothless smile


Maja saying hi to Oliver... he isn't done baking yet but is almost ready. Maja is actually his aunt... how cool?

4 things about Maja at 4 months old

1. She loves to cuddle up to us when falling asleep. All she needs is grab hold of my shirt and turn her face towards me and off she goes to sleepyland. It melts my heart every time!

2. She has finally spent any considerable amount of time awake during a flight. She has been on 10 so far and has always slept right through everything (take off and landing included) but on our way back she decided to be social :). She loved "talking" to Greg and Elizabeth... our "neighbors". They were so nice.

3. She beat her no-poop record by one day... we are on day 11 and still waiting.

4. She loves playing with her feet.. chewing on them included

Back from Seattle/Portland trip

We took almost 1400 photos so this is just a random compilation of the highlights:

1. We got to meet our new niece Chayney. She is 12 days younger then Maja and we thought the difference in size was hilarious. I guess we just have a giant baby!

More on these two cuties later

2. 4 Generations


3. Grandpa got some mad skills


4. Maja was baptized. Little stinker screamed the ENTIRE time... all the way up until we got back to the car!


5. You can't be around Polish people and not take a shot (or 3) of vodka at some point

Hello from Seattle

A quick note to say hello and show some pictures :). Jody just sent us the slideshow from our session in Altanta and we love them all!

Check them out here

We are coming back on Friday so we will update again then :)
