Relaxing Weekend

We had a very quiet weekend alone, did some yard work, watched some Mad Men, had a little tummy time...Good stuff.

Mira Videos

We've been having trouble uploading videos to this site for some reason, so Amie put some videos on YouTube. Here's the link to Amie's site on YouTube. Just click this post title (Mira Videos). There are a couple of videos there now, and she'll add some if we can't get them on this site.

Afterbath

Here are a some pictures from a couple of days ago. The second one is Mira after her nightly bath.

Jack's 1st Birthday Party

Mira partied with Jack today for his first birthday party. She prepared with a ball, and passed out trying to keep up. Jack went to town on his first cupcake too. And, thanks to cousins Drew, Jeremy, Laura, and Rick for the Red Sox gear.

Video

It seems you need to turn your head sideways to appreciate this video. I have another completely adorable video of her on her play mat, but unfortunately it was too large to upload to the blog and I can't figure out how to edit it, dang it! Tried to email to the grandparents and that didn't work either.

Mira has had a pretty rough week this week (which means that we have ALL had a rough week this week). She had vaccinations last Friday and hasn't been her self since. Lots of fussing, some diarrhea and not a lot of sleeping. We're hoping this will pass soon and she will be back to her old fairly mellow, happy self; especially since I haven't had a single opportunity to study or the OT board exams! Other than that, the doctor said she is doing great. She is 10lb and 23 inches now, which apparently, means she is on the long and lean side as far as infants go.

Speaking of: I have 3 interviews this week starting tomorrow: Vancouver school district, and two skilled nursing facilities. I may be returning to work part-time sooner than I had anticipated, but we'll see what they have to offer-- and IF they offer. :-) Wish me luck.

Multi-tasking

Having a baby has enabled Mark to hone his multi-tasking skills.

Mark's look-a-like?

Finally! I (Amie) get a chance to post to the blog. :-) For the third time since Mira was born, a complete stranger off the street commented "She looks exactly like her dad!". What do you think??? We'll post a pic of her with mom later for further analysis...

Too Cool

Mira looking hip for her first hot summer(like) weekend.

Bath Time

This is from several weeks ago, but we just got it and it's cute. Grammy gives Mira a bath.
