Happy Birthday Grandpa!

We celebrated Jim's brithday early this week, but today is the real thing.
Hope you're having a great time!

BUMBO!

Matilda loves her new BUMBO seat. It is desiged to help her strengthen her neck muscles and learn to sit up all on her own. Look at her sitting up like a big kid!

Play time

Matilda is playing with her baby einstein caterpillar in her bumbo seat, and she's having a great time!

Are you ready for some football?

Matilda and Daddy had a great time watching football together on Friday and Mommy was happy to be able to go out and do the shopping and baking and get some projects done.

On Wisconsin!

What did you think he'd say?

Matilda had her 2 month pediatrician visit yesterday.
She is now 23 1/4 inches long (in the 90th percentile) and 9 pounds 15 ounces (just under the 50th percentile).
The doctor said she's doing great! He complimented her excellent head control and remarked on how alert and curious she already is. He said she is developing perfectly and he just couldn't get over how great she was doing and how active she is.
As a mom, I love to hear that!
She had to get her first 3 vaccinations, poor baby! She cried of course, and needed extra snuggles last night, but she took it pretty well, and didn't have any bad reactions.
We don't go back again until November for a 4 month check up and more shots.

Pretty in pink

Grandma gave Matilda this pretty dress. She wore it to church on Sunday and she was pretty good.

Funny Face

Daddy's girl

While we were visiting at the farm we all went to church on Sunday morning. Here's Matilda and Daddy walking home from church (the church is over his shoulder).

Check out my bunny slippers!

Chatty

Hi Grandma and Grandpa! Happy Anniversary--I hope you're having a great time!

Happy Birthday Kim!

Hey Aunt Kim, I heard it's your birthday! Yay!


I got so excited I just had to make faces:


I was pretty sad when I heard I had to wait three more weeks to see you.


Hope you have a great day and we can't wait to see you at the end of the month!

The Thumb

Matilda has started sleeping through the night, but if she drops her pacifier, it wakes her up. Thankfully she is starting to discover her thumbs!

Nice talk

Matilda and great-grandma had a nice talk on the porch during our visit.

So happy to meet you!

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!

Just incase you thought I always smiled...

Rub-a-dub-dub

Great grandma

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!

Happy Birthday, Eric!!

This smile is for you!

So close

Matilda and her cousin, Boston met for the first time last weekend. They are so cute and only 25 days apart!
