Lola had her one month appointment this week. Our pediatrician is retiring at the end of the month, so this appointment was our first well baby appointment with the new guy.

1. Malone woke up excited about preschool this morning. Nervous, but also excited. We’ve been talking about this day since March, when I took him to the general office to register him. 2.
