Visiting Hills Gymnastics Rosalyn 13 Weeks (3 months!)

Rosalyn is three months old!  We had her doctor's appointment today.  She weighs 15 lbs 10 oz and is 26 and 5/8 inches long (100% for length, 95% for height, 100% for head circumference).  The doctor was pleased with her development.  In other news, I went back to work this week.  Rosalyn has been home with an amazing nanny, Sami, who we love.  

Last weekend, we went out to my old second home, Hills Gymnastics.  The girls had a great time meeting all my buddies from the gym.  From left, Kelli Hill, Tandy Knight, Dominique Dawes, Rosalyn and me.  Mollie wouldn't be in the picture - too busy swinging bars.

 Kacey (Coyne) Hall, me and Ros.  We all tried to do some of our old tricks, some more successfully than other.  I can still front flip into a foam pit and sort of jump on a balance beam but that's about it.  Kacey and Dom tried fly aways and kips, a bit more successfully (well, not at the kips, but the fly aways went pretty well).  


 The newest set of Lil' Angels - Dominique's baby girl who was born Feb. 13th.
 Auntie Margie also came to visit us last week.  It was so fun having her back in DC and although I totally failed at getting photos, we had a lot of fun together.  Mollie and Margie planted some jasmine in our garden.
 Big baby girl!

California Vacation and Rosalyn Weeks 11-12

Last week was CAPG's annual healthcare conference in Los Angeles.  Mollie had her graduation from daycare so my mom was generous enough to volunteer herself to come as the Nana-Nanny on my work trip.  Rosalyn was an angel on the airplane.  Three of the people sitting around us commented on how good she was on the cross country flight.


We arrived and had a delicious lunch at Wolfgang Puck's restaurant.  The conference was at LA Live and the Stanley Cup playoff game was also there - plenty of activity.  Mom took Rosalyn to MoCA and on lots of long walks.
I think they really bonded!
Rosalyn also got to meet her Auntie Mimi.  They were fast friends!
After the conference we packed up and flew to San Francisco to see the rest of the Lauter clan.
Rosalyn slept the whole way there.
 Once we arrived in SF, there were lots and lots of grandparent activities.  Tea at LoveJoys.  Took Mollie a little to warm up to the idea but once she got into the swing of things she had a great time.





Celebrating Great Grandma Nonie's birthday

 Lunch on the way to the beach (the rest of us tried water buffalo gelato for the first time.  It was AMAZING).

 Driving to the beach with her new sun hat.
 Lounging at the beach.

 Lunch with Great Grandma Nonie (that's Kassie's hand photo bombing)

 A great day out with Auntie Sarah
 Mollie cooking dinner.  They made stir fry,it was very yummy!  Mollie has this neat plastic knife that cuts vegetables but not fingers.  She's a real pro chef now.
 A little series with the Ros and how she's doing these days.  Enjoying her vacation and the pink bassinet her Gramma got for her.



 Reading with Auntie Dee who is visiting all the way from South Africa!
 Baby Kassie and Mollie playing.
 Visiting Gramma Liz's classroom.  They made marbleized paper.  Mollie liked it...a little :)
 Rosalyn got to meet Auntie Megan for the first time.  We had grilled cheese and talked all things baby (Meg's due in September).
 Both of the girls attended their first home game to watch the Giants play the Nationals.  The Giants won.  Mollie had a great time and Rosalyn and I did a lot of walking around the stadium and enjoyed the beautiful weather.

Rosalyn 10 Weeks

Rosalyn is 10 weeks old!  Where does the time go?  Just a bunch of random pictures this week - not a lot going on.

 Merry go round at Glen Echo
 Enjoying some shave ice in downtown Bethesda
 Sleepy milk face.
 Rosalyn is a serious spitter upper.  Especially on anyone she comes in contact with who happens to be wearing work clothes.
"Who me?"
