The last month has been so much fun!! I'm feeling confident in my role as a new mama, and Winnie is making it ridiculously easy and awesome. On the weekends we've been swimming, and exploring downtown, and really just soaking in the lasts of summer (side note- summer went crazy fast this year).
We'd been planning a trip to Acadia national park in Maine pretty much all year and the time finally came! It was so fun! We did lots of hiking (which, let's be honest, I cried a few times because I was so nervous something would happen to Winnie. Of course nothing did), eating, and hanging with our friends. It was a much needed trip.
Walden pond, our favorite swimming place. Winnie was skeptical and mostly just cried when we put her feet in.
Winnie loves when Scott tells her stories. She stares at him and listens so intently. It's the sweetest.
Scott's sister, Kristin visited this last weekend. We took the ferry to Martha's Vineyard, swam at walden, walked along rowes wharf, and of course got canollis.
Winnie is perfect. I can't tell you how many times a day I say that. She is so calm, sweet, content, and beautiful. She rarely cries, and loves being held. I get stopped on the street all the time from people telling me that she looks like a doll. She is just my perfect little baby and my heart just bursts at the seams when I look at her. She gets her fair share of kisses in this house (aka 95% of them) and when I hug her I have to restrain myself from squeezing too hard out of love. A quote I found from President Packer says "Everytime a child is born, the world is renewed in innocence." And with Win, that is most certainly the case. I am totally obsessed with this little human we've created and am so fulfilled by her every smile, giggle, and sound. Oh yes, she's started rolling over now too (big baby!!!!!). It is so so so fun to watch her develop and discover new things her body can do. Motherhood is suiting me just fine.

Wow! I served my mission in the New Hampshire Manchester Mission. Part of that is in Maine and I spent an AWESOME P-Day in Acadia/Bar Harbor. I think I have some of those same backgrounds in my pictures.
Winnie is so cute, you guys! I am also very happy to see a baby that has so little hair (like our Lyla). Hope you 3 are enjoying yourselves there.
All the Best

WINNIE! I wanna get my hands on her! She's filling out and those little cheeks are to die for. Mckay says that(^) all the time about having to restrain himself from squeezing Deacon too hard. It's the best. I love everything you wrote and it mirrors my feelings completely. It's amazing to watch them grow, and it only gets more fun! (and less fun too sometimes, Deacon discovered the wonders of the bathroom this week, eeek!).
What a cute, sweet, lovely family!
