Peace Baby!

Not yet 2 months old and already a peace lover! That's our girl!

Trip to the Conservatory

While Aunt Meredith was here, we took a trip on the train to the Garfield Park Conservatory.

At the El stop with the skyline in the background (a bit hazy). We're starting to learn which stops have elevators and are stroller friendly.

One of the many greenhouses.

In the Monet garden.

Hanging out on the incredibly soft and lush lawn.

The conservatory is a great place (and free!) with lots of kids activities. As Satchel gets older, I'm sure this will be a regular destination for us.

Visit from Aunt Meredith

First trip to the lake with Aunt Meredith (Matt's sister) and Uncle Mark (Emily's brother).

Satchel is the bundle covered in a blanket. She didn't like the breeze and in the end was happiest in her stroller seat covered with a blanket. She then promptly fell asleep.

Always the center of attention.

Napping Together

One of my favorite things to do is take a nap with Satchel snuggling on my stomach/chest.

Hangin out in the Boppy

Satchel loves to sit and fall asleep in her Boppy.

Check out the funny little half smile she did in her sleep.

Chubby Cheeks

A few photos to highlight Satchel's chubby cheeks that get chubbier by the day.

Hangin' out with Birdie (Birdie really didn't even wake up)

Check 'em out! Chubs!

This is a favorite position to sit in.

Check out the adorable bonnet.

Visit from Grammy

Grandma Marlene (Grammy - Matt's mom) visited last week.  Here's a few pics.  Since I was still not feeling up to much we did a lot of napping, reading, and going for short walks.  We'll do more next time!
