Baby Love: 9 Weeks!

Maude turned 2 months old last week. We celebrated the day by going to the pediatrician and learning that she had pink eye. I think she got it from another baby (a week older than her) at our yoga class. I noticed that he had icky green goopy eyes at our last class. Just a few days later, Maude started having the same thing in her left eye. Thankfully the drops we got did the trick and she's absolutely perfectly healthy once again! And in other great news - neither Mike nor I got the nasty infection.

Each week I can't believe how old our baby is. I remember being 7 months pregnant and thinking that 2 months until I would have her seemed like forever. Now that she's 2 months old, it feels like just yesterday that I had her. I have just a month and a half left of my leave and it really doesn't feel long enough! I can't possibly imagine not spending all day every day with our little girl.

Mike's parents visited this past weekend. They had a great time meeting and visiting with their second granddaughter. Mike's dad had a special talent of making funny faces and noises to make Maude smile! We went out to brunch on Saturday and took advantage of a nice day to take some family photos on our front steps afterward. Mike's dad has a nice camera and we were able to download the photos onto our computer before they left. A few of them are attached below.

It's amazing how each week brings something new we learn about Maude. This week, we found that when she's fussy and there could be nothing wrong (she's dry, full, and well rested), she just likes to be put down and be left alone. We're not sure if she gets overstimulated or what, but as soon as we put her down, she's all smiles again. She needs her Maude time. She is indeed my daughter.
