The weeks are flying by so fast around here, I can hardly keep up!  This past month was the best so far!  We had an amazing trip to Florida, lots of parties and showers for friends, lazy days at the pool, and we are finally starting to set up Baby Girl's nursery space in our bedroom!  She can blink her eyes, hear our voices, and even detect bright lights - amazing!
