On Sunday Maylee had her 2 month birthday.
I tried to get a few pictures of her, but she wanted NOTHING to do with it. Finally I just had the kids hold her and we got a few shots.
Maylee absolutely adores Brinn. Brinn can often get her to sleep when she is fussy. She also changes diapers quite regularly. She loves to try to get Maylee to smile at her, so you can often hear her saying “boogaboo” at Maylee cause it worked one time.

Tayla is the only person who Maylee allows to hold her facing them consistently. For the most part Maylee requires that you hold her facing outwards so she can see what is going on. But, Tayla is the special one. Maylee LOVES to have Tayla hold her and walk around with her. Tayla volunteers all the time to change Maylee’s diaper. She doesn’t even mind if I call her away from a movie or a game to change a diaper. Sure love her!

Kade is a great big brother. From the beginning he loved to hold Maylee. But, she is now starting to get too heavy for him to carry her around for very long. He is often the “babysitter” while I am taking a shower or such, and he is great at it.

I’ll have to get some pictures with Gavin later.
Maylee definitely has some likes and dislikes and she isn’t shy about letting you know one way or the other.
Dislikes:
Being held tummy to tummy
Being held laying down baby style
Getting her nose sucked out. This has had to happen multiple times each day for the past week or two, it is the pits!
Pacifiers - I know, it is sad. I keep trying, and she will take it occasionally. But, not for long usually. She usually refuses to even let it near her face. Ugh!
Likes:
She adores her swing. It is often the only place she will sleep during the day. But, you can’t have just the swing going, no way. You have to have the music turned on as well. Our swing is fancy and plays classical music if you want it to, so it is always on if she is in it (whether she is asleep or not!).
She loves to get her diaper changed. I know, weird! She can be fussy and crying, you lay her down on her changing pad and start the diaper changing process and she calms right down and practically coo’s with contentment. Right after her diaper is changed is one of my favorite times. She just lays there and looks around often smiling at you and everything around.
She loves to go to the movies. She has now been to 4 movies and has loved them all. She sleeps for part of them usually and then just sits on my lap and watches the other part of the movie. I think at Star Trek she watched about 75% of the movie. Silly girl!
She loves to be out and about running errands and shopping. She likes being in her carseat, and that is the other acceptable nap location during the day for her apparently.
She likes going for a bike ride with Eric and I. Eric puts her in the front carrier and straps her on (facing outward of course!). Then she enjoys the ride as we bike around Daybreak.
And she thinks that a bath is heaven on earth. She practically purrs with contentment being in her bathtub. She gets so relaxed. I usually scoop water over her for a few minutes just because she likes it so much. A warm washcloth over her body is an integral part of the ritual. She only gets upset when I am drying her off and getting her dressed again. She just wants to get back into her bathtub.

At her 2 month checkup she weighed 12 lbs 13 oz. She is definitely chubbing up quite nicely.
