Here comes autumn



The weather has started to cool in New York City and we're feeling pretty cozy in our new place. We've enjoyed several walks along the water with baby and dogs. Maya is 5 weeks and got good marks at her 1 month checkup last week. She weighs 10lbs (!) and is 21 inches long putting her in the 90th percentile for weight and 75th percentile for height. Of course as soon as we stripped her of her diaper to weigh her at the pediatrician's she peed on the table.. oops. But she's doing great and growing lots which is what she needs to do - how could she not when she's hungry all the time! Look at those cheeks!! She did give me a break last night and slept from 10pm - 3am - her longest stretch yet so hopefully she's getting the hang of sleeping at night.

Lauren came to visit this past weekend with baby Nathan - great to see them and see Nathan who was a little peanut, only 4 weeks old when we saw them last, and a great opportunity to take lots of pictures of the kids together and introduce the cousins... well, maybe just introduce Nathan to Maya since she's still pretty oblivious. But he certainly acknowledged her and was reaching for her when we put them on a play mat together - so cute!! We strolled around the neighborhood and even made it out to dinner Saturday night with the kids in their strollers. It will be fun to get the whole gang together for Thanksgiving in Wellesley where the kids and dogs will outnumber the adults.. but it would be much to quiet any other way.
