Two years old!

We enjoyed celebrating our niece Emily's 2nd birthday in Lynchburg earlier this month.

Two months old!

It's hard to believe that Naomi is a little over two months old already. Time has flown by, and we were long overdue for an update here on the blog.

I've spent a good bit of time in the last few days putting these posts and pictures together to look back over the past five weeks. Each new entry appears at the top of the page so that it's the first thing you see when you visit, which is nice in the future if you want to check for an update. This time though, if you want to start at her birth, you'll have to go to the bottom of the page and scroll up to follow in chronological order. With so many friends and family scattered around the country (and the world!) I hope these brief entries and pictures are enjoyable and help us stay connected! Enjoy!

time flies...

We were so lucky that Paul could stay home for a full month after Naomi was born. In the last week or two, we enjoyed getting out of the house a bit for visits, walks, and a few errands. One afternoon we spent about an hour on this greenway that runs outward from Salem...

As you can see from this picture, Naomi is certainly thriving! Her one month pediatric visit was on Monday, and she weighed 8lbs 13oz--that's over two pounds up from her discharge weight of 6lbs 12oz!

Of course, as you can see in this picture taken two days earlier, Naomi still isn't so big overall...

Just a few more pictures to enjoy--naptime bliss...

And a cute pose and smile in her Juniata College Peace onsie...

Naomi's first time in her sling--quite snuggly and comfy. She sometimes protests (as in screams and cries!) for a few seconds when I pop her in, but then she has fallen asleep every single time within minutes. She's happy and feels safe, I'm happy and have my hands free!
