...And we had a delightful meal! Frank made Thai pork lettuce cups and we celebrated Lucy and Laurel's birthdays. Meryl decided to skip a nap today in celebration and party on into the night, if you know what I mean:)

Thanks, Noonans, for Meryl's Gryffindor onesie from The Wizarding World of Harry Potter! She hasn't even been sorted yet, and she's already the chosen one:) 

Meryl also visited the dentist for the first time today...to confirm that I cracked my tooth...while eating oatmeal. It's true.

Practicing rolling back and forth with Lola! 

Celebrating Frank's Dad's birthday in style. Locked in to contain alllll her excitement:)  

Real life baby. Real pot of stock. 

Meryl on top, mom on the bottom:) 

Arrived today! Let's jump! Luckily, her socks mop up her drool, and we get a clean floor as a result! (Not really, but it's an aspirational thought.)

A family that wears fleece together... It's cold in Seattle at the moment, and with our single paned windows the house can get drafty, despite the fact that we're over heating the house (to heat the outside)! That said, we've been drumming up layers for Meryl to wear in the house, and Lola made her this UW pullover!  (This is also her third outfit today; not my choice, but I'm also not naming any names to blame!)

It's Kel's birthday today and we are all partying! First time showing up to a party with a pack-n-play for the little sprite too. Urban happenin' parents we are trying to become:)  

Today, her tuft flopped the other way. And yes, she's still drooling.

Meryl has successfully figured out how to roll from her back to front, and front to back. But, she only rolls one direction. And when she's in the crib, she ends up hitting one side and waking herself up in the middle of the night, me too! I'm 'tired' of her shenanigans, so we're working on practicing rolling the other way...and it's exhausting!

Meryl is a chatterbox these days. And today, in her pajamas (as are we all), she's got a lot to say!  

Thanks, Grandpa, for the Christmas snowsuit! We went for a jaunt around the neighborhood today to test it out as it's forecasted to be COLD this week.
