This weekend we drove out to the farm in South Dakota to introduce Matilda to her great grandmother Shirley. Matilda did great on the drive, and had a wonderful time meeting her great-grandma and her great aunts and uncles!
I took Matilda to meet my grandparents last weekend. We had a really nice time. She got fussy during dinner but she did great in the car and slept through the night for the first time!
The weather has been lovely recently so we put Matilda in her swing seat and brought her outside to the patio. The little bear hanging from the top would swing in the breeze and Matilda seemed fascinated. It's so cool to see her interested in her toys and surroundings.
Matilda is 6 weeks old today. So far she has learned to cry... and smile and laugh, and she recognizes Ed and I as her parents. She has rolled over, is growing well and holds her head up while she's laying on her tummy, and this week she started to notice her toys and her hands, and here's a video of her using both of those developments reaching for her teddy bear!
