Monumental Night

Last night Michael and I went out to dinner to celebrate the first week of his internship being completed (and his birthday). We tried a place his parents recommended called Sweet Water Tavern. I had a crab cake and filet mignon. Michael had the baby back ribs. It was delicious, but very hard at the same time. This was all because it was the first time I left Miriam. Luckily I have great in-laws who volunteered to watch her. Any mother out there knows how I feel. I cried on the way there. I am not afraid to admit it. I missed her. How could I not? Look how cute she is!

In the end, it was good for us to get out on a date. I am very glad we went. We had a great time, but I was glad to be home. I hope it gets easier.

Safe and Sound

We made it to Virginia. The trip went better than expected. Miriam was so good on the airplane. The lucky man sitting next to us even commented after we landed that she was such a good baby. We look forward to all the fun experiences we will have this summer.

5 months

Here are more pictures of our little Miriam:

She grabs her ear and rubs her head to comfort herself when she is tired.

She is very close to sitting up all by herself.
She was not propped up here, but tipped over right after the picture was taken.

One last thing... I know that all I do is post about Miriam... so I am working on some ideas for other posts (and maybe some other pictures).

Growing up

Here are some pictures from the past week to prove that my little girl is changing and growing up so fast.

She sits up in her Bumbo and reaches for the camera with an inquisitive look on her face.

She takes a bath in the big girl tub at Grandma's house.

(and a very big tub at that... so big Mike had to get in to reach her)

She plays in her cousin's Baby Einstein exersaucer.

She wants to drink from a water bottle.

She published this post.

Miriam is the sweetest little girl. She has a great disposition and smiles at anyone who will talk to her. We are enjoying every moment with her.

Miriam's newest accomplishment

Mmm Tasty

Look at me mom...

Miriam has found her toes. She grabs them whenever they are free. In the morning I have to unzip her pajamas so she can play with them.

She has even figured out how to put them in her mouth.
I wonder if they taste like chocolate milk.

4 months

Miriam is 4 months old today. She is getting to be such a big girl. She has learned to grab toys and loves to look at books. Miriam is a great sleeper. She is so good at getting her picture taken. She looks right at the camera.


We went to BYU graduation today. She just laid on her Dad for a while when she woke up from her nap. Miriam loves to cuddle. I just love that face.
