My hubby Khalid and I welcomed our sweet little Maya Jayne into the world on April 8th, 2009 and couldn't be more in love with her! We also have a Sharpei/Boxer mix named Ariel...best dog ever. Khalid works as a Program Manager and I am staying at home with Maya. I love my life and couldn't imagine it any differently! :)

My Little Party Animal

Miss Maya had her first big night out on the town this past weekend. My cousin Ann got married on Saturday in Ponca City and it was such a beautiful wedding and very fun reception! I could not believe the planning that went into getting everything ready to go to one wedding for ONE night. I pumped the final 20 minutes of the drive to Ponca and we stopped at my cousin Amy's house so I could feed her and get the bottle ready for the reception. We only had 30 minutes so I am feeding her, Khalid is getting his suit on, and Amy's cat is running off with my necklace. It was hilarious. We scurried around and got to the church with 10 minutes to spare. Maya was a little fussy so we decided Khalid would stay in the lobby and I would go sit with the rest of my fam. Well Khalid and Maya scooted into the very back pew right before it started and luckily she only cried out one time right as people started walking in and then she fell right to sleep! The reception was so much fun. Maya stayed awake the entire time, so basically she was up from 6:30-11:15pm!! What a trooper!!! She never cried one time. I think she was in awe of all the lights and music and soooo many people. My dad and sister both fed her bottles so Mommy actually got to have two adult beverages!! :) All in all the night was a success and Ann was a gorgeous bride. A good time was had by all.

Maya has had a little trouble sleeping the past couple weeks but after last night and today, I am thinking we are heading back on track. She has been obsessed with rolling over so she gets really mad every time she goes over onto her tummy and can't get back! I've been working on it with her a lot while she is awake so I am hoping she's getting it down. :) She had a really good night's sleep last night and has been so happy and napped so well today! We went on a play date this morning and she sat up next to me on the couch just chewing on her hand and staring at the ceiling fans. She is so stinkin' cute!!! :) I am loving every moment with her, even the ones from last week when I was sleepless too!
