First off, our little baby had her 2 month doctor check on Dec 1. I thought Lilah was a big baby! Emma weighed in at 13 lbs 10.5 oz, 23 inches long. She is smiling all the time now, but certainly prefers her momma. She has a tendency to stick her bottom lip out and burst into tears when most other people talk to her. She flinches when her sister is nearby, and sometimes cries when she hears Lilah's voice if it catches her by surprise. She is the easiest baby I could have imagined.
My striped girls!
Matteson came out to visit us on Dec 2 for a long weekend. It was so nice to have her around and Lilah loved having a full-time playmate. Matteson and I flew to Charlotte on Sunday, Dec 5. It was our first time back east with both kids, and I am SO glad Matteson was with me. Emma was awesome, as expected. Lilah was a little challenging, especially once we were past naptime and the DVD player had died. We survived though, and it is so good to be back at the Pascal Homestead. The girls are having so much with their Teffeteller cousins! We have been here for over a week, putting the finishing touches on our Christmas shopping (another great reason to get here so early) and relaxing with family. Lilah is particularly fond of the chickens Nana and Papa got this past April. Lucy the hen turned out to be Lucy the rooster, so Ethel and Jesse have a male playmate. He is king of the farm and loves to strut his stuff, literally. Lilah is learning first-hand what a rooster says. (bock-bock-a-doodle! according to Lilah).
We are having so much fun with our cousins! And missing John's family so much!
