adventures of the 7th month

Grammy & Papa Silber came to visit and we had such a fabulous time we have become overwhelmed by the amout of pictures we have from their stay. So, I put together another little slideshow to showcase our time spent together!

We tried to keep a busy jam-packed schedule and that we did! I had my annual PICU RN review that I needed to attend so Grammy watched Maya for us and had some quality one-on-one time with her. We also had a playdate with some of the ladies I work with and their littles and had a great time at the park. I worked a few night shifts during the week as well so J and I could have a much needed DATE night! Grammy & Papa babysat little miss and we were off on our first real date out of the house since Maya has been born. We grabbed dinner downtown at a little diner and were off to watch Inception at the IMAX theatre! We had a fabulous time and the movie was just totally amazing. It was so good it was just mind boggling.

P.S. Many many thanks to Grammy for most of these awesome pictures!!!! :)

this is one of the most hilarious videos I have ever seen...

J showed me this you tube video the other night and it had me in tears! so.funny!
Charlie bit my finger - again !

Lake Tahoe Anniversary Trip

I have discovered a quick way to update is with a sweet little slideshow!

J and I celebrate our second year of marriage with an anniversary trip to Lake Tahoe. In many ways it is our Redfish Lake getaway, just a lot closer! We made a quick trip over Labor Day weekend and ended up only being there for a little over 24 hours, but with Maya it was probably long enough! It was our first time traveling for an extended period of time in the car with Maya and although she did well, she wasn't impressed in the least! The trip itself shouldn't have taken more than a few hours, but with the holiday traffic it made the car ride about twice as long as it needed to be. We spent some time in the pool, walked alongside the beautiful beach with the stunning views and had a mini anniversary dinner.

a little bit of this and a little bit of that....30 weeks

29 weeks and counting...

Wow... how is it even possible that Maya is actually 43 weeks old right now and I am just now posting about her 29th week of life?!?!? I promise, at some point I am going to convert into just posting about months and not weeks! :) It must be the nurse in me...

This 29th week or beginning of Maya's 7 month was a lot of fun here in San Francisco! The weather was really warm for about a week so we took advantage! With multiple trips to the park and a trip to the beach we were soaking up the sun as much as possible!

We started some major sleep training this week as well. We got into some major bad habits of holding her while she slept so we had some major work to do. I was given this book called Health Sleep Habit Happy Child by Dr. Weissbluth by one of my fellow coworkes and it has worked miracles for our lives! Maya would want to fall alseep nursing and then would wake up as soon as I tried to get up, or she would wake up right as I would try to place her in her crib or pack n play. So, I was very proud to snap a few of these pictures of her sleeping by herself!

So in attempts to familiarize her with her crib (where she needs to be sleeping) we started having a little play time. She loved holding onto the slats and started pulling herself up to stand! But for now she is still sleeping in the pack n play in our room! But....it is a work in progress!

Success! Sleeping beauty in her pack n play! She started rolling over onto her tummy and it is about the cutest thing you have ever seen!

lots more of catching up to do...
