Jenna left a “Happy Sund-Neigh!” present for Meryl in our mailbox today. While Meryl gave me the first chance to pick a name, I took the high road and offered it to her. She chose ‘Doo Doo,’ and I quickly scrambled to suggest anything else that came to mind...Honey, Maple Syrup...nope, by then Doo Doo had stuck. Doo Doo also has brown eyes like Meryl, FYI. Welcome to the family!
Leftover salmon from last night means onigiri night tonight! Or seaweed tacos:)
How many adults does it take to get a picture of five kids? We got to have a play date with Ellie, Norah, and Abby today! Our friends, Anne, Adam and family are in Seattle this week and we made their itinerary short list!
Swinging from the rings like a monkey and walking the balance beam (it’s easier with tiny feet that fit the width!). Fun times today, especially catching up with Anne.
We have Baylie all to ourselves most of this week and my has it been nice! I’ve been able to meet friends for lunch and, well, Holmes has been eating two lunches:) He’s in the midst of a growth spurt...and is CRAZY hungry.
Holmes now has full neck rotation! We still have more PT ahead of us for muscle strengthening, but what a relief. He’s also ravenous, and teething, and breaking out of his sleeping swaddle necessitating a learning curve on sleeping with flailing arms. Yaaay.
Sunny evening, out on the bike! We biked to Kerry Park to see the Space Needle - and to recreate the ‘Larry Gets Lost in Seattle’ book cover:)
Frank left this morning for a week long conference in San Francisco. Meryl and I headed to the grocery store for chips and chocolate.
And so far, we’re off to a healthy and sunny start!
We went to Museum of Pop Culture (MoPOP) today to see the ‘Marvel: Universe of Super Heroes’ exhibit! And, Oscar winner Ruth E. Carter’s fierce costumes.
FaceTime for the win! Xanna read to Meryl and Grandpa sang the good night song.
Arrived in the mail today! Our Mona Lisa.
Thai food! Scene of our first date, except now with kids and the restaurant has since moved its location:)
Routine pediatrician check-up this week for Meryl and she’s still hitting all the marks for being exceptionally normal! Now to work on telling stories, because that’s what our doctor expects a three year old to be able to do. Ready, set, imagine!
PT got Holmes started on his 6-pack!
