4 Generations

We had a great Thanksgiving at my parents' house. While there Gene took this 4 generation picture of Mena, me, my mom, and my mom's mom.

Favorite Song

I sing lots of songs with Mena, but "Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes" seems to be her favorite.

Bath Time

This is what bath time used to be like--there was lots of crying!
Now I've gotten her a new bath chair that goes in the big bathtub. I think she's warmer and I know she's lots happier!

Two Months Old

I don't think she's all that thrilled to be two months old. She's got her first cold and she got her shots yesterday at her 2 month check-up. She's 23 1/2 inches long (87%), 11 pounds and 7.3 ounces (69%), and her head is 15 1/2 inches (75%). She's definitely growing well. Here are a couple pictures Gene took last night as I was comforting her.

Wow, She's Strong!

She hasn't discovered sucking on her thumb or fingers, but is sucking on her fist.

She's sticking her tongue out :)


Look how far up she can push herself!

Emmy Lou bonds with Mena

Gene was holding Mena on the couch and Emmy Lou laid down with her head touching Mena's arm.

Daddy and Mena

They both enjoy hanging out together after Daddy gets off work!
