Life with Baby Mikaya

Over three months has gone by since we have updated our blog. Life with a new baby is very busy, we are finding out. Our lives really do revolve around her -- especially her eating and sleeping schedule. I am so glad to say that she sleeps through the night now, and has been doing so for the past 6 weeks! Mostly, though, it is a timing thing. She can do at least 8 hours in a row, but if we put her to bed for the night too early (say 8pm) then she is ready to go for the day at 4am. So now we put her to bed a little later and she sleeps till 7 or 8 in the morning.

Of late, teething has been the new thing. Her teeth (or lack of teeth rather) bother her most during feeding times. Then she does not want to eat. Then she wakes in the night hungry. So we are doing our best to get as much food into her in the daytime while at the same time trying to ease the pain of that teething process. Any ideas anyone?

She sure has been a joy to have around. It is amazing all the love we have for her. If you have facebook, feel free to click on the following link to view some videos:

(Sorry, I have not figured out how to upload videos to another internet source yet. If anyone has any ideas, let me know. As well, if the link does not work, please let me know).

It was especially wonderful to hear her first laughs (pst: watch the video).

As well, here is a link to some pictures (everyone can access these):

Hopefully I can update the blog sooner than 3 months next time. Till then, take care!
