A Swartz Family Visit

The last time we met Emilie was getting ready to have her first bottle feeding and it went swimmingly!  As some of you already know, I've been having a love/hate/butmostlyhate relationship with breastfeeding.  Turns out I have a lot of milk that rushes in really, really fast.  Having a lot of milk readily available sounds like a good problem to have, but essentially I'm water boarding my kid each time I go to feed her.  Seriously. 

But, now that we've introduced a bottle once a day to start preparing for daycare, turns out that pumping once a day has really helped slow down the rapids that are my milk ducts :)  Here are E and dad enjoying dinner together:


We also had a visit from Grandma and Grandpa Swartz last weekend!  Emilie was showered in cuddles and Harley gear :)  She is officially a badass.  Unfortunately I got sick the night they arrived, so our activities were limited, but we did get over to the Sills for brunch on Sunday for a few (hundred) photos.

And of course shortly after this visit E caught her first cold (thanks to mom).  She luckily did not have a fever, but was pretty snotty all week.  But even with boogies galore, she kept her spirits up.  Here are a few randoms from the week:

Steve took this one morning that E and I were both still sick.

Thank you Jodi and Stacey for the activity mat!  As you can see she likes it okay.


I f-ing love this picture.  LOVE it.  When I look at it I hear those little green men from Toy Story going "ooohh" when they're in The Claw machine.

We had our 1 month visit at the pediatrician on Friday and all continues to be well!  Our little girl is not so little, as she's 12 lbs, 8 oz and 23 inches long!  We're already creeping into the 3-6 month clothes :)

Today we're all going to the Pittsburgh Irish Festival to share with E important parts of her heritage--really shitty food and really good beer :D
