Christmas Eve 2006

 

Welcome to Florida Pirkko and Hannu! Tervetuloa Floridaan Pirkko ja Hannu

Joulutervehdys palmun alta kaikille sukulaisille ja ystaville missa ikina vietattekin joulua! Minulla ja Hannulla on nyt erilainen joulu, kun olemme taalla Floridassa Elvin ja Pertin luona. Maya on juuri niin suloinen ja terhakka kuten kuvista voi paatellakin. Juuri nyt olemme Annen ja Akin talolla. Terveisia myos kummipojaltani Marcolta . Taalla on mukavan lamminta, 22-26 asteen valilla on lampotila ollut, joten lamminta riittaa.
Elvi tuossa vierellani lahettaa myos jouluterveisia kaikille ja toivottaa hyvaa uutta vuotta. Paikallislehti Kuhmolaisessa oli ollut joulutervehdys Elvilta ja Pentilta mutta kysessa on Elvin mukaan edelleen sama mies eli Pertti:) . Kaykaa taalla Mayan sivuilla lukemassa meidan matkakuulumisia. Paljon terkkuja .. lahettavat Pirkko ja Hannu

Hyvaa Joulua! Happy Holidays!

Porot Komulainen toivottavat kaikille sukulaisille ja ystaville rauhallista ja muistorikasta joulua..erityisesti heille ketka juhlivat joulua ekaa kertaa!
The Komulainen reindeer want to wish all of our family and friends a peaceful and memorable Christmas...especially to those who are celebrating Christmas for the first time this year

Tama hymy on Mayan iskalle! Meilla on niin iloinen vauva.. ollaan niin kiitollisia Mayasta! Oi kun voisitte kuulla Mayan ilo-aania ja naurua! 

Tassa Maya istuu... Here Maya is sitting..

This is how Maya is sitting these days. She can sit up straighter for a while, but then she gets tired. She has been eating rice cereal on a regular basis now for over a week. She has eaten sweet potatoes and liked them well enough. Elvi-Mamma fed her the Finnish potatoes and carrots baby food that we had. Maya really liked those. I tried to feed her sweet peas today but that DID NOT go over well!! She really did not like peas!

Nain se meidan Maya istuu nykyaan. Han pysyy pystymassa asenossa mutta sitten vasyy. Maya on syonyt puuroa joka ilta yli viikkoon. Han soi "imelia perunoita" (ovat oranssin varisia) ja tykkasi ihan hyvin. Elvi-mamma syotti tanaan Piltti peruna/porkkana sekoituksen. Siita Maya tykkasi! Yritettin myos herne baby ruokaa mutta siita Maya ei todella tykanyt!

Maya seisoo. Maya standing

Here Maya is standing against her exercaucer all by herself while holding on. She can do this for about 30 seconds or so. She's amazing. We are SO in love with her!!

Tassa Maya seisoo tuetta lelua vasten. Han pystyy tata tekemaan noin 30sec. Maya on mahtava! Ollaan aivan rakastuneita haneen!!

Maya

Hi!
Maya had her 4 month check-up today (only about 10 days late!!)
She weighs 15 pounds and 6 ounces and is 26 inches long. This is a 1 pound and 1 inch growth in one month and three days. The books say there's a growth spurt between 3 and 4 months...
Otherwise all is well here! Maya has started babbling "MaMaMa" when she is tired or hungry. She is rolling over ALOT and sometimes wakes herself by doing this. As you can see, Maya has a beautiful smile and she sure did put on a show today at the doctor's office! She smiled and squealed and kicked her feet whenever a employee or patient spoke to her!

Hei!
Maya kavi 4kk tarkastuksessa tanaan. Maya painaa 6997g ja on 66cm pitka. Mayalla paino on noussut melkein 0.5kg ja 2cm kuukaudessa! Kirjoissa luki etta on kasvu vaihe 3 ja 4 kk valilla...
Muuten kaikki taalla ok! Maya on ruvenut sanoman "MaMaMa" kun hanta vasyttaa/nalkanen. Han pyorahtaa useasti ympari ja joskus herataa ittensa tekemalla sita! Niinkuin huomaatte, Mayalla on aivan mahtava hymy ja tanaan laakarin toimistossa han kylla piti semmoinen "show"! Han hymyili ja nauroi ja potki jalkoijaan ainakun joka tyotekija tai potilas jutteli hanelle!
