meredith at three months

She: >Has been wearing 0-3 month clothing for awhile now, and is only just now fitting into some 3-6 month. >Went to her first wedding! (My brother’s – can’t wait to share photos.) >Sort of rolled over once! I wasn’t there, but my mom put her on the bed and she got from her back to her stomach by herself, with her arm caught underneath. Hasn’t happened since. >Still hasn’t had anything other than breast milk, despite some recent challenges. >Has really discovered her hands! She likes to suck on them, stuff them in her mouth, examine them, and grab grab grab. >Will pretty much smile at anyone if they look her in the eyes and smile at her, but…

How My Husband Plays With the Baby

October 18, 2011

The other night while I was taking a shower and my husband was in charge of Meredith, he found the video camera. We thought it was broken, and had recently just discovered that it only needed new batteries. (We are really smart. And actually, HE is the one that realized that plugging the camera in with the USB wouldn’t recharge the rechargeable batteries, which is what I was trying to do.) Anyway, the video camera was basically a new toy. And left alone with it, this is what happened. That was David’s “Meredith” voice. Metallica makes a lovely lullaby, don’t you think?

meredith’s nursery

October 11, 2011

I’m finally ready to share the nursery pictures! It took me awhile to get it “finished,” and then I took these pictures weeks ago when I was still on maternity leave, but due to computer issues I’ve just now been able to get them posted.

drive: not really a movie review

October 5, 2011

This past weekend my husband and I went on an Actual Date to the movies, just the two of us. When deciding what to see, we went strictly by the description on my Flixster app, since neither of us get out enough to have heard anything about the current movies out. We chose to see Drive, with Ryan Gosling and Carey Mulligan. It seemed like it’d be a fun action flick, had an 8.4 rating on imdb.com, and over 90% on Rotten Tomatoes. Sounds promising, right? The reason this isn’t really a movie review is because I don’t deny that it was very well made, and I’m sure many people will love it and even rave about it. (My brother,…
