Look, look, look, look!!!!!!

This is what we woke up to this morning :). There was nothing last night when I went to bed at 1am!!!

Where has the time gone?

4 days old Maja

7 weeks old Maja

16 week old Maja

Maja loves her Daddy

1. Every diaper change is tickle time for them :). She starts going nuts as soon as he lays her on the changing table... she knows what's coming!

2. She could spend hours "petting" his beard

3. No more crying after bathtime... Daddy makes it all good now!

4. She turns her head to follow him around anytime she hears/sees him... even when she is breastfeeding which normally I wouldn't have a problem with it except she sometimes forgets to let go of the nipple!!!!

5. Daddy still rocks at burping :D

6. They love to cook together... Maja sits in her bouncy chair and he walks her through everything he is doing... she "talks" back... very loudly might I add!

The Lexus of cloth diapers

9 layers of cotton/bamboo fleece and bamboo velour. Oh so soft and squishy.

Maja is very excited about it

Pretty eyes

When it rains, it pours!

Those prunes sure "unplugged" her. I swear she is on a mission of "deflowering" every single one of my pretty new diapers :(.

At least I dressed her in a very appropriate outfit today

Maja's baptism gown

is almost ready to be picked up!! I'm so excited waiting for the call :).

I'm having it custom made out of my wedding dress by a local seamstress. We decided not to follow any pattern and designed it ourselves. I'm really curious to see how it turned out.

I'll post pics as soon as I can!

Lost my ENTIRE phone list!!!!

I was trying to switch to Jeff's old phone so I went to the Verizon store and asked them to move all of my contacts into his phone. That dum-dum not only moved contacts to the wrong phone (Jeff's list to mine) but also erased all of the ones that were there (mine)!!! So now I have two phone with the same contact list (Jeff's)
I'm so mad because when I went back to ask what happened (I drove around the block and noticed the error so it literally took me less then 10 mins to get back in there) the guy just stood there looking at me like I'm crazy saying "the machines aren't set up to erase anything... they don't do that". I don't care what the machine does!!!! I gave you a phone with a phone list to move... now there's a completely new list on there and the old one is gone!! Dude just stood there repeating himself!

So friends and family... I'll be sending an email at some point to collect numbers but in the meantime, if you read this please send me your phone number (aga_40@yahoo.com). Especially if you're in Seattle... we will be visiting next week so I want to make sure I can get hold of you :). If you think/know you are on Jeff's list, then don't worry about it, I got you :).

Thanks everyone!

Houston, we have a poop!

Yay! Never thought I'd be this excited about poop :)

Poop watch 2008

Prune juice has been used and still nothing :(

I think today marks day 10!

Way back "When"-sday!

Exactly a year ago today, this happened:


A year later we have this:


and not a day goes by that we don't think about how much brighter our lives are and how much we love this kid!

Bad Mommy :(

I forgot to turn the monitor on last night and we woke up at 2am to Maja screaming :(. Poor baby... I still feel like crap.

7 days and no poop :(

Poor Maja is starting to get uncomfortable. After a failed thermometer trick (consider yourself lucky if you have no idea what I'm talking about), prune juice is the next step as per the Dr's instructions. We aren't sure about that though, so we will try to find something else we can do. Apparently up to 10 days is the norm for breastfed babies so we still have some room to wiggle.

This one is for auntie Kara

I finally got around to taking a pic of Maja wearing the dress she made for her :)


She like to take a close look at things:

Maja and Julian one more time :)

Could they be any cuter? they are checking out each other's clothes, haha


Maja and uncle Arne later that night. She did great, we stayed out until midnight so she just hang out in her Pj's until she fell asleep :)

Little photoshoot

This is her "signature" pose... she even sleeps like this


I can't wait until she starts playing with her feet :)


Fluffy butt


She needed a closer look at it


A few other cute ones:

065

All she wants to do now is sit

She even tries to pull up on her own when laying down



But tummy time isn't so bad anymore either :)

Go Pack, go!

Maja's new pants :)

And a few photos of Maja:

First time at the sitter's

Our wonderful next door neighbor Linda has been offering to babysit for a while and we finally took her up on it yesterday morning since we had quite bit of work to do in the yard. We dropped Maja off for a couple of hours and she did great :).

And this is the result of Mommy and Daddy's hard work:


I guess it would have meant more if I remembered to take a "before" pic but that place was a mess. Full of leaves and branches from the two trees we have back there. You couldn't even see that square area over in the back corner and it it's actually elevated!

Now we are ready to get covered with snow!
