Three months is right around the corner, how time flies. In that time the economy has tanked, we made history when we elected a new president, NC went blue and Congress has gone to the Dems. Somethings never change - Maureen Dowd is still trying to create Clinton drama and Sarah Palin is still all over the place (puh-lease go govern your caribou and get off my TV). Maya is getting good at doing things with her hands, mainly shoving them in her mouth - sometimes both at the same time which helps when the pacifier falls out of her mouth and it wakes her up. She gets an A in important baby skills such as holding up her head, recognizing her parents, smiling lots, staring at the pictures in books, being fascinated by her own hands and trying to creep. She gets a C- in the sleeping category. She's just not much of a sleeper. Cat napper during the day and wakes up at least 2 times a night for a bottle or to be nursed. Cause why should you sleep when you can let out a yelp and room service appears? It's almost as good as being in the womb. We're still playing musical beds at night trying to figure out the best sleeping arrangement and Maya inevitably ends up sleeping in 3 different places in a night. We're a little tired but we hear there is light at the end of the tunnel. Overall she's a very happy girl and keeps us on our toes as we try to find activities for her. Yes, it's amazing that such a young babe needs to be entertained but she lets you know when she's bored! I've gotten together several times with a co-worker who had a son 11 days before Maya was born to compare notes, have lunch and just plain get out of the house. Tomorrow we're headed to the Museum of Natural History as it is cold outside and strolling around the city is less of an option now.
We're really looking forward to Thanksgiving in Wellesley next week. It will be a full house with 4 kids (2 under 1 year of age) and 5 dachshunds to keep track of. We'll need security guards around the turkey so no puppers get any ideas as has been known to happen in Hennessey household. A dachshund will never understand that eating a bird that matches their own body weight can be a bad thing. Course - I could probably do that too when it comes to dessert, and I have already called planning that course. We put it up for a family vote but not totally unexpectedly the vote came back to do all three - pumpkin flan, coconut cupcakes with the kids and pecan squares with chocolate. Enjoy your turkey day everyone.
