I only have a copy of the emails I sent out for her 1 and 2 month updates so I will post that here:
** Hi everyone!I can't believe that I'm already informing you all that Tegan is 1 month old today! Time is flying by so quickly. Tegan has been such a joy and so much fun! She has quite the personality. This week has been a week of many firsts. She started to coo and smile and does it quite frequently... especially when she knows she is about to eat, haha! I've gotten to know her cries pretty well, so it's been easier to cater to her needs. She was 7lbs6oz when she was born, was 6lbs15oz at her 2 day doctor's visit (normal, as most of you know), and is now 10lbs2oz (weighed today)!!! We were shocked to see how much she had gained and really excited! She doesn't fit her little clothes anymore and is long enough to fit into most 3-6 month clothing. She's had a belly button for a couple weeks now (a sort of innie-outie) and LOVES her bath time soo much. She is co-sleeping half of the night instead of all night now. Neal is absolutely loving being a dad! Both his and my parents were here this month (separately) and we all had a blast. Tegan has already been to Mt. St. Helens, hiking, to the beach, and the state of Washington! As for me, I'm doing well post-partum. I've lost about 30 pounds and am staying active and loving life with Neal, Tegan, Obi & Nemo! Tegan's awake, so I gotta run! I hope you all are well and enjoying the summer! **
**Hello All! On Friday, July 25th, Tegan was 2 months old! Can you believe ANOTHER month has gone by already?! WOW!! She's getting so big. She had her two month appointment that day and boy, was it a rough day for her! Tegan loves her pediatrician, Dr. Ramchander, but that's probably because he doesn't administer shots (lol). She laughed and coo-ed and talked to him while he examined he
r and she pulled through with a clean bill of health! She was 10 pounds 11 ounces and 22 inches long. She's in the 37th percentile for her height, but almost in the 70th for her weight. Growing right on track ! ! Then the nurse came in and gave Tegan her shots, and I've gotta say, I started crying before she even did it. Poor Teg was crying so hard, but it was soon over and I held her really close and nursed her and she felt a lot better. She slept for most of the day and just lounged with mommy :) So it was a nice recovery! As for development, Tegan is trying to roll over and has really good head coordination. She has been drooling some and keeps chewing her fist, so I'm afraid early teething is here :(. I can feel a hard section in her gums but we'll see. I made a sling for her yesterday! Sewed it myself (with help of a pattern). I am so proud of myself! Tegan likes it, too. Anyhow, I think that's it for updates on Tegan!**

As for her 3 month update: She can already roll from front to back (with a lot of effort, usually). She hates belly time for more than 30 seconds, so this is why I think she started it somewhat quickly! She has discovered her fingers and toes and loves to put them in her mouth. She is incredibly expressive and has discovered that she can make new sounds by forming her lips certain ways (which has resulted in new squeals, screams and squeaks at high frequencies, lol!) Her eyes are getting darker with little green flecks in them -- I think they'll be green, just like ours! They are still grey for right now.
This past week (August 20-24) Neal, Tegan and I went to Gold Beach, Oregon to meet up with Meme and Papa Hershey for a little R&R at a cabin on the Rogue River. Tegan did ok, but felt really out of place and had a hard time the first couple of days. I was so proud of her -- she made the 7 hour car ride without a hitch! We all had a good time and enjoyed the beautiful warm weather.
Tegan also went on her first camping trip to Cook Creek, Oregon! We went with the Smiths and their friends. We had so much fun!!
