This is the first time I’ve ever seen Anna really hold a toy like this. Very cute.

Slow Start
We aren’t in any hurry to get moving today.

Maria finally caught a smile on camera while enjoying the warm weather with Anna!
2 Month Checkup
Anna had her 2 month checkup today. She weighs 11 lbs, 2 oz, and is 22.5 inches tall. This puts her middle of the road for length, but she was in the 90th percentile for weight and head size, so the doctor said she might be tall in the future. I doubt these things really mean much at this age, but it’s good to hear that she’s growing.
Anna had three shots and an oral vaccine, and she’s definitely a bit grumpy for it. But she was really good at the doctor’s office, and slept all the way home (even through a stop at the pharmacy). We’ll have a quiet night around home to recoup.
Bonus shot of the parentheses Anna gets around her mouth from her pacifier:
Guess Who’s Two Months Old!
She can’t believe it either, but it’s true! Anna is two months old today. She is celebrating by being tired and cute.

Anna’s First Walk
I’m trying out a new way to post quick photos from my phone. Here’s a shot Maria took of Anna’s first walk in a stroller!
Brief Site Outage
My apologies to anyone who tried to visit the website this evening – my hosting account was infected, and all of my sites were being redirected to a shady Russian website. I pulled MariaAndDave.com off of that account, and moved it to a fresh account on a new provider. Everything should be good from here on out.
Things look a little bit different around here, as I need to rebuild some of the changes I made to our site. Won’t be long until we’re right back to normal, though!
New Photos of Anna’s Second Month
In the last couple of weeks Anna has met her Great Grandparents on my side, and spent lots of time being cute around the house. It is really great that Anna has gotten to meet all seven of her Great Grandparents now! I think she made a good impression on all of them.
We posted a bunch of new pictures to the Month 2 Gallery: Anna Month 2
Anna has been doing very well lately. She has slept pretty well for the last week or two, and is showing signs of going longer between feedings. We’re also convinced that she is just about to start smiling any day now. She is using her hands more, occasionally grabbing her blanket or Maria’s hair. But for the most part she is still content to stare at the ceiling.
Almost 6 Weeks Old!
Time is flying, and Anna is almost 6 weeks old already. We’re going to put up a bunch of pictures from the last couple of weeks, but until then here’s a short video for you.
