Two Months

Last week, Mary Laine went for her two-month checkup. She is a whopping 9 lbs, 5 oz. She is now in the 25th percentile!! Here's what we've been up to for the past month:

The Focas came to visit. Mary Laine loved meeting her cousins Ainsley, Emma, and Gabby (and Deacon really appreciated all of the extra attention as well):



After the months of bedrest, we decided that it was time for a family vacation. So, we packed up the car and headed to the beach. But first, we stopped through Atlanta to visit Grammy and Papa:


We also made a quick stop by Kennesaw State so that Mary Laine could meet the basketball coaches:



My grandparents, Uncle Gaines, and cousin Micajah were at the beach as well that week, so Mary Laine got to see lots of family members:

On our way home, we stopped through Atlanta again and stayed with our closest friends, the Galbreaths. Jennifer Koontz also stopped by to meet Mary Laine:

Incredible summary of the month!!! Wow. I just can't get over how ML is maturing so fast with her drinking out of a straw, using chopsicks, and wow even going after the she crab soup. Impressive, ML!! I love the picture of us at CB, I have not seen that one. Too bad when I pulled out my camera the "rechargeable batteries" needed to be recharged again...story of our lives with our camera. Go Wake!
