Let the Fun Begin!

Miriam is becoming an active baby. Joe had to wrestle her in church last Sunday while I was up on the stand leading the music. She's also developing an obsession with practicing standing up on my lap. I've now started putting her into her Jolly Jumper--some people call it a Johnny Jump Up--the contraption that hangs in a doorway and the baby jumps up and down in it. Well, Miriam isn't quite jumping yet, but she seems to like to wiggle in it or shuffle herself around to face one direction or the other.

All this exercise must be developing her gluteus maximus *smiles* because she has also moved up in diaper sizes. Speaking of which... I left her on the floor for a few minutes after changing her diaper yesterday, and when I came back, she had rolled over onto her tummy and was doing a pretty decent-looking baby push-up! She's never rolled over on a flat surface before, so this was a first.

4 Month Check Up

Just as her two month doctor appointment, Miriam is still in the 75th percentile for weight, height, and head circumference. She now weighs 14lbs 10oz. She's still healthy and happy, and her binky is her best friend.

Slushed In

If we were snowed in yesterday, then today we are definitely slushed in! Fort Worth received a record twelve inches of snow yesterday—it snowed and it snowed all day long end we wound up with more snow than this area has ever seen. I know it’s not quite like the six feet or so that’s been piling up in the DC area, but for DFW it’s pretty wild and white! Now it’s raining and all that fluffy stuff is turning to slush, but I’m surprised it lasted as long as it did.

Precious Moments

Family Home Evening was the highlight of my day yesterday. The three of us sat on the bed while Joe read an article from the Ensign magazine. Miriam was her best self. She was cuddled up under a pink blanky with a binky in her mouth and staring up at us with her big blue eyes. I should have taken a picture but didn’t want to spoil the moment.
