Squawking Ventriloquist
Margot has been making sounds of all sorts lately. She's come up with quite a variety of sounds that she uses to declare her presence in a room. Her favorite is squeaking while she smiles at Tucker and me. It pretty much makes our hearts melt!

Look what I found on sale at the grocery store!
They were having a special on cute babies in aisle 7. I couldn't resist.

George and Margot
Amy and George came over for another visit today. It was so good to see them and catch up. Amy's starting a new job in the journalism department at Georgetown University(woo hoo!) all while balancing the demands of being a new mom. She's an inspiration!
George and Margot actually noticed one another during this visit. Though, looking at these pictures, we may need to keep a closer eye on these two. (Tucker, put the rifle away sweetie. They're infants.)

Mon Bijou
Tucker gave me a very special necklace this week. He may or may not have had some help in picking it out. One of the pendants says "MARGOT" and the other has her bithday, 12.16.11. It's lovely, and I'm so excited to wear it.
Two Month Appointment
Margot had the infamous "Two Month Appointment" this week. "Two Month Appointment" is synonymous for four vaccinations and lots of crying. Our girl was a trooper though and did just fine. She was very calm in the doctor's office right up until she got her shots. She cried for a bit, and then just napped a little while longer than usual in the afternoon.
Here she is...almost 11 pounds!
Getting inspected by the nurse.
Tucker and I happen to think that there's no pink, frilly dress that can make her look more cute than she does just like this, au naturelle.
Once we got home, we camped out on the couch and snuggled all afternoon.

Buddies
Allison and Margot hung out again this week. This time, these two had things to say to one another. Unfortunately, Laurel and I haven't had time to become fluent in baby-ese so Margot and Allison had a secret conversation.
Margot was once again so excited to be playing with Allison that she couldn't help but raise her arms over her head!

Home
Mornings are my favorite time of day, especially when I'm at my parents house. We move a little slower, stay in our PJs, and we always drink the best coffee. This past Sunday morning was one of those mornings.
My sister took some pics of Margot and me waking up, though for some reason Margot looks a lot more refreshed than her mom.
Ava and Grandaddy had breakfast together at the kid's table.
While I fed Margot, my mom fed me!
Margot and Granny
Tucker and Braxton. Little B is not so little anymore!
Later on, my good friend Sarah who lives in Brattleboro, VT came over for a visit. She left her hubby Nick and son Will home to spend a day with the girls. Margot instantly lit up when Sarah held her.
My other friend Sara (I have many Sara(h)s in my life!), her husband Luc and their son Calvin also came over from Saratoga Springs for a visit. Sara's expecting #2 any day now. Can't wait to meet their newest addition! They're keeping it a surprise - woo hoo!
We had lunch at the Rock Hill Bake House (thanks Sara and Lucas!)and it was incredible. I could eat there breakfast, lunch, and dinner and always be happy. My oatmeal cookie was the size of a hockey puck; always a tell-tale sign of a good bakery.
After lunch, we headed back home and were greeted by Andy, my parents' new puppy. This little guy is so sweet, playful and is the softest little dog I have ever met. Welcome to the family Andy!
Bill and Ava, off to bed!
On Monday, we had to say goodbye to my sister and her family. We quickly took this pic as we hugged them goodbye. Note that sweet little Calvin got in on the action too! Love that little guy.
On Monday afternoon, we had a surprise visit from our friends David and Karina and their adorable son, Kieran. Tucker and I hadn't seen them in so long so it was great to catch up. David and Karina moved here from Wales about 10 years ago and have spent Thanksgivings with our family on and off over the years.
We headed home on Tuesday, but not before making a quick stop in East Greenbush to introduce Margot to her "Auntie" Jen!
After all this excitement, we had a tired baby on our hands.
It was a great visit and we can't wait to come back!
