Catchin Up

Here's some of the highlights (and a few low lights) from the past few weeks:

The Fourth of July weekend basically stunk! Matt was away the whole weekend working on a fireworks show in Alabama, so of course I got sick. Thankfully, Mattie didn't get too sick. She just a had a little cough and few sneezes. However, this little cough was usually followed by silent gagging, which was really scary. The one bright spot was when we went to watch fireworks, Mattie seemed to enjoy them. She didn't even cry!

Matilda also went swimming for the first time. At first she didn't like it much, but after a minute or two she started to enjoy it. Hopefully she'll start splashing soon instead of just keeping her arms at her sides.

Mattie's really starting to pay attention to the kitties. Much to the kitties' dismay, Matilda loves to "pet" them (which is really her grabbing fist fulls of their fur and not letting go).

This past week Mattie actually slept through the nights! While I love getting the sleep, I do miss the middle of the night feedings a little bit. I really enjoyed that bonding time when there was nothing else to worry about.

On a more personal note, I'm very proud of myself - I used the nail clippers on Matilda for the first time today and didn't cut her!
