7 weeks has been interesting for us thus far. Maizy has officially decided to test her lungs out full force between the hours of 5pm and 11pm straight. It's been frustrating for me, not knowing what can help comfort her. We take all the advice we get and it all works too, for about 5 minutes. Then we go through our list of what's worked to make her stop crying until one of previous cry-stoppers helps. She seems to like to lay on her tummy on our forearm, looking out at the world when she is getting wound up; but that changes 5 minutes later! Her pediatrician (and friends with kids) told us that between 6-8 weeks is the toughest for us parents because she is the most fussiest during that time. Hoping this phase passes quickly. Oy!!
In the day, she's content. So that's when we're able to get our cabin fever knocked out and we go play with friends. Matt took Maizy to her first high school baseball game this week and she hung out with him and the other brown deer coaches at it, enjoying guy time and sports talk i'm sure! I picked several world record sized zucchini and made 19 loaves of chocolate chip zucchini bread the past few days-let me know if you want any!! We went out on thursday to celebrate Maizy's great-grandparents 55th anniversary! How amazing! Of course, the second great-nana judy held Maizy, she fell right asleep! We laugh because everytime Nana holds Maizy, she conks right out. The other night during our wonderful witching hours of cry time, i put nana on speaker phone to chat with her, and as soon as Maizy heard her voice, she was asleep!! Pack up your bags great-nana, you're moving into the guest room!!
Not only were we able to celebrate God's blessing of Maizy's great-grandparents 55th wedding anniversary, but we rejoiced as a family when Maizy was able to meet her cousin Bekah for the first time yesterday. I don't know who was more excited-me or Bekah! Maizy's great-aunt Jane (oh that just sounds way to weird! great aunt! you're too young to be called that auntie!) held her right away and Bekah had ants in her pants to hold Maizy-i would've too Bek! The moment finally arrived and Bekah got to hold her cousin Maizy for the first time and it was heaven. She smiled at Bekah and cooed at her too. I can tell the way that Maizy's been kicking her little legs around that big cousin Bekah's going to have to teach her some of her seriously amazing soccer techniques.
Until next time, blessings for you all and enjoy the quiet in your house for us!
