Hurricane Miriam

Spot any difference?

As Hurricane Miriam circles off the coast of Mexico, Miriam Hemmer rages from the safety of  her boppy.

Thankfully, all good hurricanes slow eventually, and Hurricane Miriam has calmed to a tropical storm.

p.s. please know I did not fashion my baby girl's hair into a mohawk.  Some of her baby fuzz is falling out (affectionately referred to as her male-pattern baldness by her daddy) but there is a thick row of hair right down the middle.

p.p.s. how cute is this outfit??

99th Percentile

We had our 2 month check up today complete with our first round of immunizations.  Miriam was a trooper (mommy almost cried) and was all smiles for the doctor and nurses; quite the charmer.  She's over 24" long, 12 lb and 4 oz.  She's 99th percentile (!!) in length, 70th percentile in weight, and 92nd percentile in head.  She's long, trim, with a big ol' head!  What a growing girl!

Waiting patiently at the doctor's:

First lunch out:

Watching Uncle Timmy's soccer game online:

Playing on her mat with her fancy rattle bracelets:

Go Tigers!

Watching mama cook breakfast:

All smiles!

7 weeks and growing

Miriam turned 7 weeks yesterday.  I'm falling more in love everyday!

She watched (slept through) her first Clemson game last Saturday and celebrated daddy's 32nd birthday.

Again, sleeping through football this weekend.  We'll have to work on this:

Showing off her cute new headband:

What a difference a few seconds can make...

Random acts of cuteness:

Hanging out in my Boppy

Watching mommy make her morning coffee.  She seems a lot nicer after she drinks that stuff!

Snuggling with mommy in the morning

Just relaxing in my bouncer

Arrrrgh I'm a pirate!  Mommy made me this great headband, but I think it's cooler as an eye patch!

So sweet:)

"Ok mom, enough with the pictures! This is embarrassing!"

From about 3 weeks ago -- WOW -- you can really see how much she's changed and grown!

And my favorite, her first smiley picture. She gave me her first smile last week after a fresh diaper change and snuggle. She's becoming more engaging and smiley everyday; mama's reward for many sleepless nights and epic cry-fests.

How can you not adore this face?!
