2 Month Checkup

Posted on by

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:

We added a few more pictures to the Anna at 2 Months album. If you’ve already seen the others, scroll down to the bottom for the new ones. There are several of Anna doing her new trick–holding her head up for seconds at a time! She looks quite proud of herself when she does it, until she loses steam and collapses on the pillow in an adorable little heap.

Brief Site Outage

Posted on by

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

Posted on by

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.

Anna at Four Weeks

Here’s a video of Anna hanging out with Maria on her four week birthday.

Also, we tweaked a couple of things with the website. Pictures are in the same place, but we’re putting videos up on You Tube for now to save on storage space. As a bonus, videos can be embedded in the site now.

Also, you can now use the two links in the menu above to find posts containing photo albums or videos.

You may notice some old pictures or videos removed because of this shuffling around, but I think it will be pretty minimal.
