Grandma Chris' Visit

My mother Christine just visited us from Seattle for 2 weeks. Maya had a wonderful time playing with Gramma Chris, and Gramma Chris was very patient playing with her favourite 2 year old, day in, day out! This gave us time to focus more on little Solomon. Sol just turned 6 weeks, and seems to be settling in a bit better to his digestive system....we hope. Still wakes every 2-3 hours at night for feeds, but haven't had to get up and burp him or change him until 4-5 am. But if there's one thing that's certain with babies (or at least my children, anyhow), is that no pattern stays put for very long. Just when you think you've got it 'worked out', your baby changes and does something totally new.

Maya seems to have taken fairly well to the new addition in the family. She holds his hands and feet, and says 'don't cry, boy'. Maya also calls him 'Somolin', as Solomon is quite a big word to say. However, she also wants to jump and climb on him at inopportune times, like when I'm trying to get him to sleep. I feel bad saying' don't' and 'stop' all the time, but what can you do?

The final picture is of Maya and Solomon with both their grandmothers - Ruth and Christine.
