For our first video, we have Melanie walking about 15 steps by herself! She started taking her first steps about 3 weeks ago, and by the 20th was taking 5 steps in a row. She also loves exploring and climbing, including the steps if we let her! Also, she has a couple teeth popping through [...]

Wow, it’s been a long time since the last post! Thought I’d give an update. First, here’s some pics: The first one I took right before writing this post. I got her to smile by saying “Booga booga!” The second is from my cousin Nicole’s graduation party in Michigan in July. In the third, you [...]

It’s been so long since we’ve made a post about Melanie! So I figured I would for Father’s day. She is doing great! She rolled over a couple times at the end of April (front to back), but hadn’t again until June 3rd or so (and then it was back to front only!). Today I [...]

When Melanie was first born I thought she looked a lot like me, especially around the eyes. But Angelo’s mom sent us some of his baby pictures this weekend, and I must say Melanie looks a lot like him! I scanned the pictures today, so we can do a comparison! I’ll have to search around [...]

I wanted to try on the Infantino EuroRider baby carrier I received. It took me a while to figure out and adjust the straps that position it correctly on my torso. It says to just pull on a loose strap to adjust, but it is a little more complicated than that. I won’t have to [...]

And my wrists are feeling the additional weight! They have been hurting the past few days from holding her while nursing. The [...]

Melanie is 1 month old today! If you haven’t noticed already, I added an ‘Age Ticker’ to the blog so we can easily keep track of how old she is. Monday we had our first outing with Melanie, (besides the doctor visit a few weeks ago). We went to Skyline and then to Babies R [...]

Melanie is more than 2 and half weeks old, and we all are doing great! Most of the relatives have now paid a visit, and it’s just Mom, Dad and Melanie now. And of course Ty the dog and Giga the cat. Ty is pretty protective already, and doesn’t like Giga coming close to Melanie. [...]

Here’s some recent pictures of Melanie with her eyes open! She seemed pretty content in her chair and in Grandma’s arms. At her doctor appointment on Thursday she weighed 8lb 7oz, so she’s gained 4 oz since leaving the hospital! Last night she slept for 3-4 hour shifts, which was really nice. Angelo and I [...]
