Two months!!

Madelyn is two months old already! I cannot believe how quickly the time has gone and how much she has changed already! She is becoming very social, smiling at us quite a bit and extending her vocabulary of cooing and grunting! She very funny to listen to! She's also letting us sleep more, which is fantastic! She's always been a pretty good sleeper, but the last several nights she's slept from about 11:00 to 5:00 or 5:30. Very nice!

She had her two month check-up this week and she is weighing in at 11 lbs. 3 oz and 23 inches long. She's right at the 50th percentile for weight and 75th percentile for height. Eric and I are guessing that her height percentile is either going to decrease drastically as she gets older since we're both pretty short, or she's taking after her Grandpa Harms!

Here's our little cutie giving us a smile! I couldn't get her to look at the camera, but it's a keeper anyway!

Changes, Changes

We are officially moved in! Our house is still a disaster, but slowly we are getting unpacked and settled. We're so thankful for our family and friends that helped us so much! We could not have done it without them!

Now that we've moved, we've officially have most of the major life changes we could have within the last 7 weeks. We had a baby, moved, Eric is transitioning to a new area for his job, and I will be looking for a new job eventually! It's been a bit overwhelming at times, but we are extremely blessed and know that the Lord is leading us, and we're just trying to follow!

We are praying to follow the plans the Lord has for us, to raise Madelyn as He would have us raise her, and to find community here to reach out to as well as to fellowship with. I have always been so blessed with the people that have surrounded me in the different stages in my life, from high school, to college, and then as we transitioned together to married life in Iowa City. We hope to continue that now as we transition again.

Here are a few pictures from this weekend to share.
