On the 12th Day

she slept! It really did take Julia 12 full days to get over jet lag. The 1 day recovery for each hour of time difference rang true for us. Unfortunately for us, Julia is now teething and was up at 2:30am the next morning! It's always something isn't it? She fell back asleep quickly though so not as bad as it could have been. Last night we were graced with almost 9 hours of straight sleep. I can't remember the last time that happened. I think both of the girls were exhausted from their visit with Nana & PawPaw (Dave's parents) and all the new goodies they brought. They also were up later than usual, maybe we should do that more often!

Maya is starting to really come around to Dave. She's been letting him feed her, change her and even putting her into her booster seat to eat. Although, I have to say, she may let anybody put her into her booster seat. The girl loves to eat. I can't say that enough. She LOVES to eat. She gets all giggly and smiley when it's time to eat. It's too funny. Not only does she love to eat, she can really pack it in. Maya is starting to get a belly! The other night we didn't feel like cooking so ordered some Chinese food. I had to get a picture just to show you guys how much she can eat. Keep in mind that she had a afternoon snack of strawberries and a side vanilla yogurt to dip them in (she is hooked on dipping) and some crackers about an hour and a half or so before.

Before & After:


Yes, it's a lot of rice. She loves it though. She must have had it for every meal in the orphanage. When she has it now, she eats it like she hasn't eaten for days. This meal was also followed by Daddy feeding her some Gogurts. Our little piggy!
