First Hike

While Aunties Kristen and Ariane were visiting, we ventured out for Autumn’s first hike, and it was a great success! Autumn slept soundly in the baby carrier the whole way, waking up right at the end for a nice creekside meal. It was lovely to get outside for the first time as a family of four, and we look forward to many more hikes and adventures in the future! 

Thinking Woman

Autumn likes to strike a certain pose when she is being held in someone’s arms that makes it look like she’s deep in thought about something (milk, milk or milk, perhaps?) She’s an adorable little thinker!

Two Months

Our little lady is two months old!

It’s crazy how fast she’s growing up! The last month has been great, Autumn continues to be a really easy baby. She takes epic naps during the day and still sleeps great at night. She’s generally very happy as long as she has a full belly, a clean diaper and someone to hang with! This month also included a quick visit from Great Uncle Dave, Great Aunt Nicki and Cousin John, who came all the way from Missouri!
