Meryl had her nine month doctor's appointment yesterday. She now weighs 18 pounds and is 27 and 3/4 inches tall. All normal, including her iron levels, which they checked by pricking her big toe. It's sunny, sunny, sunny outside, so she donned her sun hat and escaped outside like the rest of Seattle on this holiday weekend.
McKenzie spontaneously stopped by for a visit! OK, I caught her Instagramming from Seattle and made her come over.
...That time when we took Meryl to a BBQ party in her PJs and she got to swing in a swing that was basically artwork.
To Xanna, from Sarah: Glass ceiling shatterer, jewelry and Velveeta cheese lover, grandma extraordinaire. Happy Mother's Day to the one who taught me how to be a mom, friend, and community builder; it takes a village for all of us to be successful!
To Lola, from Frank: Happy Mother's Day. Thanks for showing us what strength and perseverance look like. Thanks for teaching Meryl Tagalog amongst other Lola learnings. Thanks for showing me that women are superheroes. Thanks for everything.
We're so not ready!
