7, 8 week catch up

We are very behind in blogging.  That's for several reasons.

7 Weeks
We were preparing for hurricane Irene.  The news was a little frightening for those of us who had never been in a hurricane, so we started making plans on Friday (Malin 7 weeks).  Unfortunately, Tim and Sarah were supposed to come that weekend and had to cancel (well, Delta kindly canceled for them).  Lucas and I were hesitant about our house considering the number of trees that surround it, so we packed up our gear and all four of us (Bentley included) sought shelter at our new friends house, the Lius.  I bet they didn't think that we would take them up on the offer when it was extended! Quite a way to make new friends, right?  Just move in for a night...which turned into two nights because we were out of power for 3 days and I was alone at night and not up for solo diaper changes ala candle light.

Before we left the house, unplugged everything

Towards the end of the storm, needed to take Bentley out

Tree down in the Liu's brand new complex

Bentley was pretty good throughout the storm

Our new small group seeking shelter at the only house with electricity! Pet friendly shelter! 

What was Malin up to in her 7th week of life?  Well, most of the usual - eating, playing, pooping, sleeping (usually in that order).

I'm slightly obsessed with watching the monitor - she stares right at it because of the green light on the camera.

She's started to notice Bentley (who has always noticed her).

Just hanging out with my friend!

8 weeks
I'm behind on 8 week update because we traveled to Cape Cod to see my 2nd cousin Heather marry Greg.  It was quite the wedding!

Post water dip - not very happy

Who says only the bride can wear white!?

Second wind though when we got back to the hotel

Talking and laughing

Big girl!

Between 7 and 8 weeks, Malin has started smiling! She gives us huge smiles and silent giggles which really just melt your heart! She will even try to mock the sounds she hears now.  She loves flirting with her daddy.  She is such a happy baby (well, maybe with the exception of about 6pm-8pm).

Tomorrow we will update with 2 month stats!
