Go Huskies

UW vs. Alabama today. And Lola made sure Meryl wasn't without a UW get-up in a larger size for the game. Go Huskies!  

Four month check-up

We visited the doctor today for Meryl's four month check-up. All is looking good! She weighed in at 13 lbs. 5.4 oz. and is now 25 inches tall. (Back in mid-October, she weighed 10.4 lbs. and was 21.75 inches tall.) She also got a few vaccines as well, and Wonder Woman bandaids to boot.

Tamale pie

Lorraine came over tonight for dinner and a movie. We both LOVE cheesy holiday movies (mostly on the Hallmark channel), and she was recently recommended 'Christmas in Connecticut,' directed by none other than Arnold Schwarzenegger. So we're making a night of it, and Frank made tamale pie for the first time (we're trying to cook creatively with the 1/4 cow we bought this fall!). 

Weather ready

Thankfully, we were able to borrow this snow suit from Meryl's friend, Silas. Now we're Alaska ready for Christmas, or Seattle winter-walk ready otherwise. 

Meryl's download

Frank and I are off to a ribeye steak potluck with friends tonight. Lucky for Meryl and Lummi, Lola and Tito Edward are here. And Meryl has lots to tell them. 

Learning the states

Lola made Meryl a United States themed mat for her to play on the floor. I loved playing 'Where in the World is Carmen San Diego' as a kid, so here's Meryl's initial leg-up.
