It has been 8 weeks since our last post. 8 weeks since Phoebe Lynn joined our family! We've been spending so much time enjoying her that we haven't taken the time to blog! She is doing great, and getting big already! Her next check-up is on September 14th, and we are excited to find out just how much she has grown! At her 2-week check-up she weighed in at 9lbs 8oz and was 22-1/2" long, which put her around 95th% for both weight and height for a 2-week-old! She is a great little eater and is growing so fast! I'm pretty sure she's at least 13lbs now. She has been sleeping through the night pretty conistently for the last couple of weeks. Her personal sleeping record is from about 11pm to 6:17 am.
Big brother Mekhi is so great with his baby sister! He absolutely adores her! He loves giving her kisses, and he is such a good helper. He's a great fetcher if we need a binki or a wipe. His entire face lights up when he is around her! He has been so patient waiting for us to have time to play with him when we are in the middle of feeding or changing... which happens a lot!
Daddy got to have the first 4 weeks off of work for paternity leave, and we had lots of fun together as a family of 4! Now that Daddy is back to work Mommy is getting braver about going out with both kids. We usually go to playgroup once or twice a week, and have even gone grocery shopping without Daddy, which was a big accomplishment! :)
4 more weeks of maternity leave until Mommy goes back to work, very part-time. The minimum requirements for my position are just 16 hours per month so that I can keep my nursing skills fresh and still be a full-time mom, which is where my priority is right now! So twice a month Daddy will get to be full-time dad while I take care of other people's kids at work instead of my own :) We haven't quite figured out what shift would work out best, but at least I have lots of options since the hospital is open around the clock.
We will try to be better about updating our blog. And we'll post another one soon about some of the adventures we've been on lately! :)

yeah, so glad to see the new pictures. i have not forgotten about you nor have i forgotten that i need to see you and babe. i thought for sure i could schedule some time with both you and rachel this upcoming week but low and behold after getting back from denver, i'm sick again. 6 weeks, 2 rounds of antibiotics. so please know i'm not ignoring you but am staying a cautious distance for a reason. when i come out of seclusion, i'll let you know. otherwise hang in there!
