Keeping Up With The De Oliveiras: Out for a Walk

Can't believe it's the 23rd of August already! Time sure does fly by. We had an appointment with the lactation consultant at the hospital where Alixe was born and I figured I'd get her weighed just to see how things were going... little miss has gained 2.1kg in 7 weeks. Not bad at all! She's grown out of all of her onesies though... time to get out the 3-6 month ones I have stashed in the attic. She is also starting to sleep for longer stretches at night, will go back to sleep after a feeding at night, and - something that still amazes me - can be put down to bed in the evening and will fall asleep on her own. Sure makes life a lot easier. Aimy is doing well too, though often trying to test us to see what we will do when she does something she's not allowed to do. Time-outs work wonders! Otherwise, she amazes us every day with the new things she has learned to do and the little sentences she says (Hi, baby! and Bye bye, Daddy always make me smile). Her new favourite word is Yucky, which is also sometimes applied to things she likes.

We've been going out for walks regularly and discovering interesting places in our area. Here are a few photos of one of our favourite routes.
