Ok, so it's been too long. I though I would be great at this blogging thing. Somehow I thought I would have all this time on my hands. HA! I have renewed strength for blogging - actually I really just feel like a slacker since all of my friends are updating their blogs. Aargh - so here goes - tons of things have been going on.

2 Month Check Up

On February 3rd, Lola turned 2 Months! Today she went in for her 2 Month Well Visit - translation - check her weight and stick her with needles. Thankfully she did incredibly well. She only cried for a couple of seconds. Luckily when they weighed her at 6 lbs 14 ounce (well below her birth weight) the scale was simply off balance since that would mean she's progressively losing weight rather than gaining it. Sigh of relief - I'm not a horrible mother and my child is not starving.

Two Things about our Lola

1. Our child is a human lint trap. Everyday I find all sorts of fuzz clutched tightly in her little hands. I guess the hands have it until her belly button gets bigger.
2. She makes the most pitiful silent cry before she lets out a wale - chin quiver and everything. It is somehow incredibly sad and somewhat funny.

Like I said, who can resist dressing their child up?

Before Lola arrived on the scene we dressed up the dogs. I mean who can resist dressing up a Weim. Wegman does it and has had books published with his photographs. We only dress up the lab because we don't want him to feel left out. He's still a little miffed by the addition of Hemmingway.
Back to Lola, now that she's here - we get to dress her up with all sorts of hats and outfits. This is just one of the few. Check out the first Christmas outfits next.

Who says baths are fun?

Does this look like she's having fun? Imagine what mommy and dad look like as they are holding a wet squirmy child. Too bad no one was there to take a picture of us. I'm sure our faces would have a look of "We have no clue what we're doing, but they tell us everyone feels this way!"
