Good morning new Mommy! She recognized me this morning and reached for me when I walked up to her crib.
We went down for breakfast a little earlier this morning since we were all up. Maia ate two bowls of yogurt while we were there! (This is in addition to her breakfast which she ate shortly after getting up.) we have a great eater. Craig was able to teach her this morning that she needs to keep her hands down if she wants to eat. (its super hard to feed her with her hands in front of her facd all the time.). We also have a hard time keeping her hair out of her face if you can't tell. :)
After breakfast we chilled out around the apartment for a bit before taking a walk. Maia loves to be outside and she especially loves her stroller.
There was nothing on the agenda for today so we took it easy and spent some more time getting to know each other. Maia has a lot of institutional behaviors that are becoming more apparent as we spend 24/7 with her. A lot of them she's already showing improvement with as well! It will require a lot of hard work and a lot of patience on our end, but I think she will overcome most of the obstacles of her early years.
And if she doesn't, we will still love her! How can you not love that beautiful person? Created in God's image and fearfully and wonderfully made. Miraculous.
Also - we are now on the back end of our pickup trip! In three days we will be headed home!!!
