A rainy day

Typical Portland weather has returned so I am hanging out inside with Mira trying to find things to do to occupy our time. We are both nursing ourselves back to health as we each have a nasty cold. Mira is also cutting in some new teeth so the poor kid has a lot to contend [...]

Bath time

Mira had her first bath in the sink yesterday! Particularly nice because it was 88 outside and I didn’t feel like taking a bath with her and she is now able to sit up on her own for a little while. She loved hanging out in there feeling the water coming out of the faucet [...]

A gorgeous day in PDX

We have been having some amazing weather the past few days. Today it is in the high 80′s! There is a great water park in downtown Portland that I have been wanting to take Mira to so I loaded up Mira, Dave & Sally (Dave’s parents) and off we went.  This was Mira’s first time [...]

A busy weekend

Dave’s parents are in town visiting so we have had a jam packed weekend full of fun. Saturday involved lunch at the fabulous restaurant Bunk and watching a roller derby bout (Dave’s sister Kate is on the team Guns-n-Rollers). Mira loved the derby bout – so much to see and hear and she did great [...]

They really enjoy hanging out together and we always find them holding hands when they are close to each other. Yesterday we finished swimming lessons and had them both in the playpen together and of course found [...]

Mira’s musings – April 2012 edition

Mira had lots to say in April. Some slobbers, some screeches, and a whole lot of in between. She’s got ticklish armpits (big surprise), which are always good for a laugh. Here’s a 1:23 sample of her April ramblings:

More tulips

I could watch this all day:

Five Months

Mira turned five months old last week. I meant to post something on the day itself but it didn’t happen and since then we have had amazing weather so I have been outside more than inside. Mira’s latest adventures have included swimming “lessons” (I use that term loosely since it is really just about her [...]

Swingin’

We installed a tree swing today, right outside our kitchen window. Mira likes it!

Summer arrived in the mail today

Sunglasses and swim diaper arrived today! Mira and I start swim lessons on Saturday so we are going to be ready for lots of summer fun together at the wading pools!
