The Kecks

I can’t believe Lauren is over 2 months old and I go back to work next week- where did the summer go?!? She is getting to be so much more fun; she is giving us many more smiles and has even started “talking” to us… we love all of her little sounds and facial expressions. When she’s not sleeping or eating, she likes her Baby Einstein activity playmat and interacting with us… she really focuses on our faces and other objects now. Lauren went in for her 2 month appt. last week and is up to 11 lbs 4 ozs and is 22 3/4 inches. That puts her in the 50 percentile for both weight and height so we’re happy she’s growing so well- she’s definitely getting some rolls in the thighs!

Josh and I took Lauren to her daycare center yesterday to meet the providers and go over specifics- it really hit home that my maternity leave is quickly coming to an end. They are excited for Lauren to start and I know she’ll be well cared for… but that won’t make it any easier to leave her there next Tuesday! I’m hoping to ease back into working, going a couple days next week and then a short week after Labor Day. Part of me is looking forward to working again but that will probably change after a few days back on the job :)

We are headed to the lake this weekend- Uncle Charlie and Aunt Marilyn are here from AZ so it will be fun to spend some time with them. Lauren will definitely get lots of cuddle time from everyone!
