She got her first cloth diapers:
She sat in a chair like a big girl out at restaurants... sort of:
And she tried her first food--prunes!

At 1 month old Matilda began to laugh.
She smiled much more often.
She began to notice her toys.
She took a trip to Indianapolis to meet her cousin, Boston, and the rest of my family.
And she took a long drive out to South Dakota to meet Great-Grandma Shirley and her great aunts and uncles.

Retrospective: Matilda the newborn
Matilda was born at 5:58pm July 4, 2008. She was 8 pounds 8.4 ounces and 21 inches long.
As a newborn we worked hard to establish breastfeeding, did a lot of snuggling and napping and she gave us her very first smile.

A year ago today
A year ago today I was feeling pretty down. I woke up on July 3, 2008 believing I would be induced that afternoon. I was SO tired of being huge and pregnant! But we went in for our tests and found out that all the concerning things had corrected themselves and that Matilda could stay put for a long time.
I'll admit it--I cried!
Little did I know that by 7 that night labor would begin and the next day I would have this:
My beautiful girl will be 1 tomorrow!

Half way!
Baby Chili is half baked. I'm 20 weeks along today. Chili is about 7 inches long (measuring from head to bottom, closer to 12 inches if you include the legs) and weighs 11 ounces, is getting hair and finger nails and kicking like crazy! Ed can already feel some of the kicks and you can even see it when Chili moves around behind my belly button. We have our next routine ultrasound on July 9.
Here is Chili today:
And this was Matilda at 20 weeks:

Long anticipated post
We've been having some technical difficulties getting our videos to upload lately, but I can't put it off any longer. Still no videos, but her are some pictures from our trip to South Dakota.
We left around 9:30 on a sunny Friday morning. We made several stops along the way to let Matilda play outside, and even had a long lunch in the Wisconsin Dells.
On Saturday when we went out to the farm, Matilda cozied up to Great Grandma Shirley right away.
She behaved nicely during lunch, and all our meals
She made friends with Great Aunt Lois, but she was scared of Great Uncle Wayne's mustache!
And she definitely found plenty of time to climb and play with Great Grandma.
