Chatterbox

Autumn has certainly found her voice recently, and is using it often! She loves to coo and "talk" to us, and it may be the cutest thing ever.  Right now it's mostly vowel sounds, and "guh" "goo" sounds.  We love "chatting" with her!

Halfway to Rolling Over

Autumn has mastered the first step of rolling over from her back to her tummy, and consistently ends up on her side while she’s having “floor time.” Go baby go! 

Mother’s Day 2018

Mother’s Day this year was a lovely, low-key day, just the way I like it. The day started off with a delicious brunch at the Boulder Chophouse with the whole fam, and was followed up by some “Mommy-time,” during which I got to sneak away with Jo to do some bouldering at the new climbing gym in town, followed by a tasty beer on the Shoes and Brews patio. 

Being a Mom of Two has been everything I hoped for and more!! I love my two munchkins and love that they love each other (so far). It has been fantastic being home with them for an extended period of time, and I’m so glad I still have a couple of months with them before I go back to work! And I have to give credit where credit is due and recognize my own mother for helping make the transition from one kid to two feel like a breese thanks to her constant help and support. I might be singing a different tune if it weren’t for her! 

I failed to take any good Mother’s Day pictures with my babies, but here is sweet Autumn sleeping through brunch:

Sleep Champion, Confirmed!

Well, it’s safe to say that Autumn is officially sleeping through the night! She has consistently slept for 9-10 hours straight for over a week now. We are majorly impressed and pleasantly surprised, and loving getting to actually sleep! I’m sure we still have some night waking and sleep regressions to contend with, but we’re happy to be able to call those the exception and not the rule. Sleep on, little champ!

Sleep Champion

Autumn has always been an amazing sleeper, but she continues to amaze us with just how amazing! Last night she slept for 9 hours straight, from 8:30pm-5:30am!! I guess you could technically call that sleeping through the night!? At 9 Weeks, that’s pretty impressive!! We are grateful for her epic sleeping and hope it continues. 

Future Thumb Sucker?

Autumn has been caught sucking her tiny little thumb a few times recently, and as much as we hope it doesn’t become a habit, it’s quite adorable! 

2-Month Check Up

Autumn had her 2-month check up and came away with a clean bill of health and her first vaccines. She handled the shots like a champ, crying at first but calming down quickly after some nursing.
