We're back

Sorry for the lull in postings, but our camera was not working the past few weeks. We've missed a lot of photo ops, as Greta seems to be doing something new every day now. Here's a quick recap.

She's discovered her feet


She can stand up with little assistance


She's eating solid foods


And she's dishing out lots of hugs

Christmas!

Greta's first Christmas came and went in a whirlwind. We spent the holidays in NY with Chris's family and had a wonderful time. Greta met lots of relatives and had a particularly good time playing with cousin Alice. Here are a few pictures to recap (more to come).

Recent pics

Here are some recent pictures of Greta. She becomes more entertaining every day and has grown so much. She had her 4-month check up last week and the doctor praised what he called her "robust growth curve." Nice way of putting it.

Staying warm in her new PJs


Hanging out after a long soak


We (hesitantly) acquired our first large toy-like plastic contraption last weekend from a neighbor. Greta loves it, of course.

Thanksgiving

We had a great time celebrating Thanksgiving both Thursday and Friday with family. Needless to say, we have a lot to be thankful for this year.

I thought we had taken a lot of good pictures, but after throwing out the bad ones these are all we came up with. There is no shortage of Greta closeups these days.

Around the house

It was a rainy day today so we stayed inside and made the most of it.

Greta woke up with a cute case of bed-head


So we gave her a bath, which she always loves


And she showed us how she can sit up in her bumbo

Savannah and Tybee Island

We took our first family road trip this weekend to the Georgia coast to visit family, attend cousin Henry's 6th birthday party, and get a little R&R. The weather was beautiful, the seafood was delicious, and it was fun to spend time at the beach. A perfect weekend!

Halloween Parade

The annual Lake Claire neighborhood Halloween parade was yesterday (complete with police escort!). It was Lake Claire wholesomeness at its best.
