Nicknames happen, like it or not.  Here are some so far…

Pearl Girl, Pearly, Princess Pacifier and the oh-so-original… Pumpkin.

There are advantages and disadvantages of being the second child.  Calmer parents with some experience are a trade for shared attention and fewer Easter pictures.  Here is Pearl’s lone Easter photo.  She was talkative and adorable for family, but by the time the camera got taken out, she had settled her self asleep.

Pearl loves attention, smiles and kisses – you know all that wonderful baby stuff.  She is getting more steady with her head, despite having to hold up those chubby cheeks.

Here are her 2 month-old stats: 11lb 4oz, 23in long and 15.15in around that beautiful head

Pearl spent a wonderful extended weekend with her family from Montana.  She is a lucky girl, to be loved by so many.  As you can see, the affection is mutual.
