The 17 lbs. monster

Of course, Colleen isn't a monster, but she is huge for 4 months! She weighed in at 17# 11oz. on Thursday, March 27 . But she is sooo cute.

Also, Colleen has been sleeping blissfully for 10-12 hours a night in her bassinet (as opposed to in our bed) for a month or so now. We are very proud of her and grateful to whatever powers that be that made her this way!

I (Maren) go back to teaching tomorrow (!), so Colleen will be cared for by her Grandma Mij one day a week and at daycare for two 1/2 days. This quarter is an experiment. If I hate being away from her too much, we'll revisit teaching come Fall 2008.

Here are some pictures:





Here she is with "Grandpa B," my dad Jim, on Easter Sunday.
















Here she is with "Grandpa A," Charles's dad, Steve.























Here is Colleen with a friend.









Colleen likes mugging for the camera.
















This was taken on Easter Sunday. I guess she likes that holiday!













Happy Spring!
Maren & Colleen
