Two months old




Neva got her 2 month immunizations and her well baby check up today. She is 23 1/2 inches long and 12 lbs 12 oz!! It was hard on mom to see her scream in pain, but overall she did great and we are watching her close for any signs of a bad reaction.

We are still constantly getting comments that she is so beautiful. We are very proud of her.

Caught being cute and The Butte





























I found her the other day asleep sucking her thumb! We haven't gotten her to do it since. One-arm-up seems to be her preferred sleeping position.
Also, we went up the Butte this morning as a family. Neva has yet to open her eyes at the top.

Neva and friends







Helen, a long time friend from Tok visited with Freja, her grandbaby who is 8 weeks older than Neva. She brought Neva a fancy dress and the girls posed together.


Also, for those of you who got to see Neva in the swing a month or so ago - look at how big she is now! And she is looking up at what there is to see above her head!

6 weeks old










Neva is 6 weeks old. As she is growing daily, we are trying to beat the heat here in Palmer! It has been 80 degrees all week and it is a challenge to keep her cool. We spend most afternoons in the basement as the sun bakes our upstairs. When she is not naked these days, she is wearing 3 month size onesies!

Fourth of July was Neva’s first time being babysat. Carlos and I went to a wedding in Anchorage and friends in Anchorage were thrilled to watch her. It was a success and I won’t be as nervous next time!

Carlos went on a 24 hour Dip Netting trip and brought home a load of Red Salmon from the Kasilof Monday evening. He is getting better at filleting! I am looking forward to eating it.
