Maya on 3 kk vanha tanaan! Maya is 3 months old today!

Today Maya is 3 months old!! It's amazing to see how much she has grown and developed in such a short period of time. Now she is reaching for objects and it's more "hit" than "miss"! She is starting to put things into her mouth. Today was the first cool day of this fall. It was around 60F this morning when we woke up and today Maya got to sleep out on the porch in her stroller several times in the cool weather (it's a Finnish thing!!). Aki's brother and his wife are visiting and we are having a great time with them.

Tanaan Maya on 3kk vanha! On ollut kiva katsoa miten han on kasvanut ja kehittynyt. Maya tarttu esineisiin ja yrittaa nyt laittaa suuhun ne. Tanaan oli syksyn eka VIILEA paiva! Aamulla oli +14C ja piti laittaa pitkat housut ja pitka hihanen paita paalle. Maya sai ekaa kertaa vaunuissa nukkua ulkona tanaan! Antti ja Jenni on meilla kaymassa ja he yrittivat kayda beachilla tanaan mutta oli aika kova tuuli ja sitten menivat Elvin ja Pertin luo uimaaltaan aareen ottamaan aurinkoa.

Hi everyone! I was thinking to catch you up on what's going on in our lives. Maya is still getting big and is cute as ever! She is reaching out for objects but still isn't grasping everytime. You can see her little brain working and she so wants to grab the objects but the message just isn't going from her brain to her hands yet! I don't think it will take even 2 weeks for her to be grabbing. She did grab onto my hair a couple of times, though!
We are getting her 3 month pictures taken tomorrow afternoon...
I went back to work Monday. I am going to be working Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. I was a little nervous about leaving Maya. I didn't cry, though! Aki stayed with her in the morning and my mom came on the afternoon. And she cried for about 30 minutes the whole day. Not bad. She DID DRINK FROM A BOTTLE!!! She drank about 3 ounces 2 different times during the day. Aki is such a great dad and I'm so excited that he will get to spend so much time with her. Yesterday went even better than Monday! So, I'm not worried and I can enjoy the time I get to spend with my patients.
Aki's brother,Antti and his wife Jenni are coming from Finland on Friday for 2 weeks. That will be fun! They are the first people from Aki's family to see her, so we are very excited!

Hei kaikki!
Taalla menee ihan hyvin... Maya kasvaa kovaa vauhtia ja on tosi suloinen. Han yrittaa ottaa esineita kiinni muuta se ei vaan viela onnistu. Nakee miten han yrittaa ja haluaa ottaa kiinni lelujaan. Ei mene kun pari viikkoa enaa ja Maya ottaa kaikki kiinni ja laittaa suuhun!
Menemme huomenna valokuvamoon ottamaan Mayan 3kk kuvat!
Mina menin takaisin toihin maanantaina. Taalla meni ihan hyvin... En itkenyt kun lahdin! Maya oli taalla AKin kanssa aamulla ja aitini tuli iltapaivalla auttamaan. Elvi-Mamma sanoi ettei han nukkunut hyvin sunnutai-maanatai valisena yona kun han pelkasi etta Mayan kanssa tulee olemaan vaikeuksia. Mutta Maya itki vaan noin 30 min. Ja han soi maitoa tuttipullosta kahdesti!! Mina menen toihin maanantaisin, tiistaisin ja torstaisin. Olin eilenkin toissa ja kuulema meni paremmin kun maanantaina. Aki on niin hyva isa. Han jaksaa ja on niin rauhallinen. Mina voin olla ihan rauhassa toissa ja nauttia oleminen potilaitten kanssa.
Akin veli Antti ja hanen vaimonsa Jenni tulee Kajaanista perjantaina. Tosi kivaa kun he ovat ekat Akin sukulaisista ketka ovat nahneet Mayaa.
Mukavaa viikonloppua kaikille! Laitan lisaa kuvia pian!

Maya met Mama Anna / Maya tapasi Mama Annan

Maya met Mrs Anna Zaklan (aka. Mama Anna) this week! For those of you who don't know who she is, she is my "American" grandmother. We met Anna and her husband John when I was 4 years old. So we have known them for 26 years.

Maya tapasi Anna Zaklanin (Mama Anna) talla viikolla! Jos et teida, Mama Anna on minun "amerikan" Mummo. Tavattiin Anna ja miehensa John kun olin 4v vanha- eli 26 vuotta sitten!

Maya turned over / Maya kaantyi mahalleen!

Maya turned over onto her stomach this morning! She is just over 2 months and 1 week old. She has been going from her back to her right side for quite some time now and this morning she rolled onto her stomach! Now we really can't leave her anywhere by herself! Maya has been moved from her bassinette by our bed to her crib which is at the foot of our bed. Since the big move, she hasn't slept more than 3 hours at a time. Either she is getting used to the crib or she is going through some grwoth spurt and needs to eat more often. Otherwise she is so cute and smiles alot these days!

Maya kaantyi mahalleen tana aamuna! Ja Maya on vahan yli 2kk ja 1 viikko vanha! Maya on mennyt oikealle kylelleen jo vahan aikaan ja tana aamuna mahalleen! Siirettiin Mayan hanen pikku sangysta mika oli meidan sangyn vieressa hanen vahan isompaan sankyyn (baby crib) meidan makkarissa. Muutosta asti Maya ei ole nukkunut kun 3 tuntia kerrallaan. En tieda onko han tottuttelemassa uuteen sankyyn tai onko tyttolla kasvuvaihe etta pitaa syoda joka 3 tuntia. Muuten kaikki menee hyvin ja Maya hymyilee paljon ja on todella ihana!!!
