2 Months

We're back!

We had an AMAZING time up North with my parents. I am feeling rested, refreshed and ready for the next 10 weeks of maternity leave. While we were up there Matilda had her 2 month birthday. We didn't do much to celebrate since Matilda and I were the queen supreme party poopers--sleeping by 8:30 almost every night.

Tillie has had some great milestones these last few weeks.

8 weeks: 11 pounds 1 oz



We discovered her first allergy: soy, which is surprisingly in everything.

She has started to grab for objects a little more, which makes Daddy's morning cup of coffee a little more dangerous.

First Packer game! (which she was decked out for by Aunt Marna!)

Lots and lots of smiles these days, and the beginnings of what I am sure will be a slay-your-heart-cute giggle.

9 Weeks





First Boat Ride and trip up North! It was a quick ride, but she didn't cry once!


Matilda has really found her hands  this week and spends lots of time checking them out. We were adamant before having children that we wouldn't allow thumb-sucking, but this girl LOVES her hands, and is about 2 weeks from finding it, and I don't think Nate or I would even consider stopping her at this point.


She gave us our first 9 hour sleep, which was AMAZING. I'm not sure if it was the fresh air up north, the cool babysitter that came to hang with her, or the fact that she didn't sleep all afternoon, but either way I'll take it.

Matilda is 'talking' a lot more and when she gets on a roll with her cooing it is pretty hilarious. She gets a very serious look on her face.

We have her two month appointment tomorrow. I already told Nate he has to hold her while she gets the shots because I know I won't be able to stand it!
