We made it! Holly was really good. She cried for a total of 10 minutes because she was hungry and squawked every now and again for attention. The other highlights of our trip? Free-range camels in Wyoming and a gravel road highway in Montana. Not kidding.

Who doesn’t love a naked baby??

Holly is so stinking cute! I just love her! She was totally playing it up to the camera this morning when I was taking photos of her in her matchy-matchy outfit.

See what I mean? Adorable.

Is it normal for me to feel nostalgic about Holly being much more grown-up and less newbornish? She’s getting so big! I’ve been downloading the photos Jim and Catherine took when Holly was born and Holly has changed so much. I thought it would be really hard to convince me to be pregnant another round….

6 days ago, I got to go swimming with Holly. Holly loves kicking her legs in the pool and during her baths. In fact, if I’m not careful she’ll kick hard and bump her head against the other side of the kitchen sink. It’s my goal as a mother to instill a love of water and swimming in each of my children. So far, so good.
