2 Month Update

Margaret had her 2 month checkup this week:

Height: 23.75 inches (95%)
Weight: 10 pounds, 11 oz (70%)
Head: 15 inches (50%)

She's healthy and doing well. The standing thing she likes to do is a milestone for 4 months so we are good to go on that. Luckily I have a while before she needs to know animal noises!

7 weeks!

I can't believe she is already 7 weeks old! She is following her brother's lead and likes to stand up (with our help, of course) and is really putting her weight down on her feet. She's looking around and smiling. She still a very chilled out little girl which is very good news for us!

And now on to the photos!

Tiny baby socks! I got these right after we found out she was a girl and I put them up on my wall at work. Happily I remembered to take them with me when I started my maternity leave, and now Margaret has worn them. Hurrah!

This little outfit is adorable. And this pose reminds me of "dancing Max" in his birth announcement photo.

Margaret loves that baby in her mirror. Just like Max did when he was playing on this floor gym. :)

Margaret wearing the panda-sweater and hat I made for Max.


Max joined Margaret on the floor gym!

Another day, another outfit, and yet that other baby is still there!

My little cupcake! Sitting next to me on the couch. She is doing very well on holding up her head.
Jen and Princess Sophia came to visit and took a turn holding Margaret.


And Curtis took a turn holding her too!

Margaret in the swing, wearing one of the tiny little outfits Granny and Grandad got for her after she was born and was tiny. Here she is, 7 weeks later, actually wearing them! For an almost 7 pound baby, she sure was wee...


And here is another view of her in the little outfit, on Max's blanket from Auntie.

Maternity Photos

I've got some frames, so hopefully that will be one of the things I accomplish tomorrow!
