I know you all have been breathlessly awaiting an update on Holly. The poor little girl has been having a tough couple of days. She's been pretty restless during her naps, although she does okay at night. I suspect a whole bunch of things are coming to a head all at once: she's nearing the 3-month growth spurt; I'm pretty sure she's teething; she's outgrown the Moses basket she's been sleeping in since she was born and is now in a crib. Yesterday instead of her usual morning, afternoon, and early evening naps, she had a string of naps that each lasted approximately an hour. Once she powers through whatever it is that's causing her distress, I bet she'll have a day or two where she completely crashes out and catches up on all the lost sleep. Something similar happened the last time we were in Boston. We disrupted her nap schedule so much over the course of two days because we were out and about, that on the third day, she was up for about forty minutes to an hour before she needed to be put back down for another nap, each of which lasted about two-and-a-half hours. After the kids were in bed for the night, my mom said she felt like we hadn't seen Holly at all that day.

At her two month checkup she was above the 95th percentile for weight, and 75th for height. (She was 22" long at that appt, which was Henry's height when he was born. Crazy.) The doctor thinks she's going to keep her blue eyes, confirming what my mom and I both have been saying for a while now. Dave still doesn't buy it. She looks a lot like Henry did when he was her age, so I've been spending some of my time imagining Henry with long flowing locks.

We stopped by my Grandmother's house at the end of both trips to Boston. Four generations of women. It kind of rocks a girl's world.
