http://thegaves.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Our journey as a new family. Sunday, November 23, 2008. Mataya's Friends and Other Cuteness:. It's amazing that Mataya is 4 months old now! It was about a year ago that we found out she'd be joining us and the time has sure flown by! It's been such a wonderful journey already and I can't wait for the exciting things in store! That's over 2 feet tall)! For such a little peanut, she's still outgrown most of her 0-3 month clothing by now. Awwww. Mommy's little girl loves the camera! They smiled at each othe...

The Gaves: May 2008
http://thegaves.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Our journey as a new family. Wednesday, May 28, 2008. 30 WEEKS (7 1/2 months). We had quite a busy week! Ellerey went to Atlanta for 2 days on short notice for business. Normally, I would've gone too, but I'm past the point of being allowed to fly during my pregnancy. Plus, the idea of sitting on a plane for 5 hours in my condition sounds just awful! I missed him so so much, but my friend Jenn was nice enough to stay over and keep me company : ). It was so great! Yikes, that was early! Monday, May 19, 20...

The Gaves: January 2009
http://thegaves.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Our journey as a new family. Saturday, January 10, 2009. The year our lives changed so drastically is already over. It's true, they really do grow so fast! Mataya is doing great as always! She is now fascinated at a new sound she discovered that she can make. It sounds like a baby pterodactyl squeal. So cute (and loud)! Mataya also knows her name and will turn if you call her - well, not always though! We're very very blessed! Here's a great polka dot themed tummy time session! Mataya, what are you up to?

Our journey as a new family. Thursday, July 31, 2008. Finally posting more pictures! Well, we've made through our first week as parents! Mataya has been so much fun. She's eating well, sleeping well, cuddling well, gaining weight, having lots of hiccups. Her pediatrician was impressed today by how strong and healthy she is! She's already making us proud! I know I take lots of photos of her sleeping, but I can't resist! Ah yes, bath time! This is one of my favorite photos. You can see how wide-eyed sh...

Our journey as a new family. Sunday, February 8, 2009. 6 1/2 Months: Solids, Sleeping, and Grandpa! I know, I know, this is way too long to go without a posting! Well, we do have a baby you know, they can sometimes take up a lot of your time! A lot has happened in the past month. Mataya had her 6 month checkup and weighs 13 1/2 lbs. and is doing great! But I'm sure she weighs even a little more by now. Mataya also started eating solid foods! I've been waiting for this to happen for 6 months! Mataya was g...

Our journey as a new family. Monday, December 29, 2008. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone! We're so blessed to celebrate the holidays this year with the joy of our lives! Mataya is already 5 months old - wow! The newborn stage is far behind yet sometimes in my mind she still seems like that tiny little sleepy baby. She is much more fun to play with these days though. Her new favorite pastime is being tickled! She gets the biggest belly laughs! She didn't even mind the Santa hat. . Here's Mataya...

The Gaves: August 2008

Our journey as a new family. Sunday, August 31, 2008. Since we took so long to post, and since blogspot will only let us upload 5 photos at a time, we thought we'd post another round of super cute photos! Here Mataya is having more fun in her play gym! Now she can reach out towards her toys and still loves staring at them whether they make noise or not. She grabs things more; like my clothes, my hair (ouch! And her monkey friend here, who she's introducing to her mouth. . Look at that adorable smile!

Our journey as a new family. Tuesday, February 26, 2008. 17 WEEKS (a little over 4 months). On Friday we had a doctors appointment. It was so great! We got to hear the heartbeat for the first time! When the doctor turned on the machine, right away she said Woah! The heartbeat was super strong! Then she had to chase it cause Baby G was moving around. So cute! And we got to play with the cutest (and smallest) dog this week! What changes are occurring with your body? As your abdomen continues to grow, it wi...
