Merry Christmas

Mini's first Christmas is being spent in South Lake Tahoe (also a first).

Too Cute

Mini is five months old today and she's such a little person with big personality. Here and there we see a tantrum but 90% of the time, Mini is happy and cheerful. She's got this big open-mouthed smile that is contagious and then there are her big squeals and shrieks of laughter that entertain everyone.

New Ride

Mini's faces forward in her Baby Bjorn now. It's a much better view and so much more exciting!

Four Month Wellness Exam

Mini had her four month wellness exam and hit these growth marks.

Head circumference 40.8 cm (30th percentile)
Length 24 3/4 in (50th percentile)
Weight 14 lbs 13oz (60th percentile)

She also found a new motion that she's been experimenting with. Not sure if she's "rockin' out" or trying to turn. Take a look...

Mini's Sleeping Woes

Mini seems to have recovered from her first cold! However, her sleep patterns have been all off. The past couple nights she woke up almost every hour and had to be held to stop crying. I hope this is not going to be the new mini sleeping pattern now that mama and papa are both working.

Nature Walk

Mini visited Muir Woods with the grandparents today. All that fresh, rainy air does a baby good.

Projectile Milk

Mini is still sick and showing it. It's now progressed into a wheeze and cough (guessing her throat is quite sore too because her voice is hoarse). While sleeping today, she started a coughing fit and out came three projectiles of massive milk puke. And guess where it landed??? It shot straight toward Mama's face and neck, also landed on the bed and blankets and all over Mini. Guess she'll be hungry soon.

Wonder if this is her way of getting back at Mama for disappearing all day? Mini now stays home with the grandparents while both parents go to work.

Mini Trooper

Mini, you are such a trooper. You look so sad now that you're sick. You have tears coming from your eyes. You can barely breathe. But through it all, you don't cry. You don't complain. You are so calm. I am so impressed at your stoicness.

Being Sick is No Fun

Mini caught her first cold. Runny nose, watery eyes, coughing, and sneezing... poor baby.

Baby weighed in at 14lbs and 10oz today.
