Pearl is one month old already. On Friday we took her for her one month check-up. She weighs in at 10 lbs. She is starting to coo and we have even had a few real smiles out of her. We are enjoying watching her personality develop. Each month I will be taking a picture of her in the same chair with the same stuffed animal. (I will include Rose's one month picture as well so you try to figure out if they look alike, we are not sure yet. Rose is wearing the red pants, Pearl is in the summer/Florida outfit.) The monogrammed bloomers are a gift from our friends Debra and Jeff, from Nashville, every little southern girl needs her monogram on her derriere.

Rose and Pearl are exactly two years apart and it was two years ago when we got word that we would be moving to South Florida with our new baby, Rose. This week we found out that we will be leaving Florida and moving up north to Pennsylvania. Mike has been working very hard in the marketing department and is being promoted to Regional Marketing Manager. He will be covering Pennsylvania, New Jersey and upstate New York. We will be moving to the Philadelphia suburbs, not far from Valley Forge, at the end of the year. While we will miss our friends here, being so close to the beach, and the warm weather in January, I will not miss the rude and reckless drivers, or lugging my groceries and two kids up three flights of stairs. We are also looking forward to being able to purchase our first home and having a yard for the girls. I lived in the same area of Pennsylvania when I was growing up but moved away when I was 13 years old. I am looking forward to taking the girls to some of my favorite childhood spots, at least the ones that are still there.
