Two In One Day!

It has been a fantastic day.  Seriously . . . it couldn't have been better

It was warm outside, so Maya was finally able to wear one of the summertime outfits that we brought instead of the long pajamas we've been washing over and over in the sink.  Look at her cute little self . . .


She's been so happy.  We put her in her stroller and we walked all the way down the main boulevard here.  We went into the Central Department Area (what we know as a MALL), got some gelato (which she was NOT a fan of . . . yet), and bought a few things from the store.  We came back when she got tired (pickup from my last post) and when she woke from her nap, we went back out for a while.  We strolled some of the back streets of the city . . .

 
This is the entrance to the Department Center.  It's a beautiful building . . .
 
 
As we were walking, Ii noticed this on the side of one of the buildings.  My sisters will appreciate this pic.  We used to eat these suckers a lot as kids, but you don't see the a whole lot anymore . . .
 
 
We stopped to get a picture of she and I, and I have to post both of them.  This one is the 'good'
one.  The boring 'good' one . . .
 
 
But this one is HILARIOUS.  Look at that face of hers!
 

We ate dinner at a colorful little restaurant called 'Papaya' and I took this video of Craig and Maya playing together.  It was the sweetest thing to see her giggle and laugh . . .
 
 
If you can't see that one, try this one from YouTube...
 
 
We came back to our room shortly after and she ate her supper, and we could see that she'd had all the action for one day that she could stand.  We got her all ready for bed, and Craig got ready to brush her teeth.  That's been his 'job' with Daisee, so naturally, it'll be his 'job' with Maya, too.  We brushed them last night (my job is to hold her steady) but she didn't like it a bit.  Tonight was worse.  She wiggled and cried, but tonight she bled a lot from her mouth.  I'm sure it was just because she isn't used to getting her teeth cleaned, but I know that's something that will subside once we develop the routine of brushing teeth. 
 
Craig has gone downstairs to bring some dessert up to the room, so he and I are gonna enjoy some sweet goodness while she sleeps.
 
Tomorrow she'll have her medical appointment in the morning, and our Embassy appointment in the afternoon.  Pray everything goes well!
 
And we go happy news today.  Dr. Chambers has gotten an appointment set up for her with the cardiologist on Monday.  We needed this badly, because we're short on a couple of her heart meds, and we really need to find out how her heart is doing.
 
Ok . . . that's it for today.  I'll check back in tomorrow!
 
Love, 
 
Paige
