Cecily 11 Weeks + Recent Pictures

We are still having an issue transferring pictures from our camera to the computer, but we think it will be resolved soon.

In the meantime, I will post some (mostly fuzzy) pictures I have taken with my phone.

At Cecily's 2 month doctor's appointment the other day (actually at 10 weeks), she weighed exactly 14lbs.  She measured 24.5 inches.  She is shooting off the growth chart for both weight and length!  In fact, the nurse practitioner was slightly concerned with the fact that she has added over three inches of height in just 2.5 months.  She said it should be fine as long as she is following after someone in our family.  Greg is over 6ft and (from what I hear) was a long baby.  My brother is also over 6ft.  One thing is for sure, she will be taller than both Geneva and I.

Cecily's demeanor seems calm, easily pleased, and cuddly.  If it weren't for the mild reflux symptoms, she would be the easiest baby ever.  Because of the reflux, she sometimes throws up, spits up regularly, and occasionally has difficulty sleeping due to pain.  She still sleeps upright in her swing.


So... Here are the pictures:

This past weekend, the temperatures never exceeded 75 degrees.  This meant walking weather for us and two very cozy little girls.  At one point, both were sleeping.

This was from a few weeks ago at an Art's Festival.  Geneva was more into the farm animals than the artwork. :)

In case you were wondering, her face was painted like Tigger from Winnie the Pooh.

 It is Texas, after all, so of course it got warm enough again for Geneva to eat a popsicle outside.  Shirtless.

This kind of thing sometimes happens when Geneva fights taking a nap.  She is really in an in-between phase with naps right now.

I thought it was cute the other night when I found some princess slippers on my bathroom rug.  Little reminders of Geneva everywhere.

Cecily 9/10 weeks

Cecily is growing like crazy!  She has the most adorable rolls on her legs and arms.  She smiles, coos, and makes cute noises when we talk and play with her.  She also likes spending time in her bouncy seat, punching and grabbing rattle toys.  She especially lights up and seems happy when Geneva talks to her.  Cecily also often tries to sit up when she is in a reclined position.  She is sleeping about 6-6.5 hours at night (usually from about 12:30-6:30 am).  She a good napper during the day but also has longer and more predictable waketimes as well.  We really feel like she is very easy-going.  When she slows down long enough to, Geneva is very sweet to her.  She likes to kiss her, hold her, and hug her and say things like, "It's ok Cecily, big sister Geneva is here."

Here are a few pictures from this week:

Love the chub!!

PaPa and Grammie Tammie's Visit

We had special visitors for Labor Day weekend.  Very luckily, Geneva and Cecily got to have their PaPa and Grammie Tammie for three days.  Geneva was thrilled to have extra playmates and Cecily wowed with her smiles, coos, and rolly polly legs.

I think our computer is too overwhelmed with pictures because they are not transferring correctly.  So, here is all I have:

Check out the West Texas landscape in the background.  We are actually standing in front of a mostly-filled-in meteor crater.

Tammie had  a great idea to try to get Geneva to eat spinach and fruit.  She definitely enjoyed playing "chef" but, unfortunately, was not as enthusiastic about eating it.  Lucky for us- because it was delicious!

Cecily and PaPa. 9 Weeks old.

We had such a great visit and are so glad that they came to see us! :)
