Just some cute pictures

Hello! Just thought I'd post some cute photos of Mira this week. One I like to call "Puddin' Head Cook" and the others are just nice slices of our days. Mira is growing so fast that sometimes I think she's 5 years old! She looks that old in some of her photos. Tall and lean with an excellent vocabulary. She keeps saying "Spartacus" and I have no idea where she got that word from! The other day I was giving her a new gummy vitamin to try and she put it in her mouth, gave it a chew, spit it out and said, "Mom, these aren't tasty." So those vitamins are out the door and we brought back her old favorite Winnie-the-Pooh vitamins.

Days are just a joy with her. The nights are pretty good too. She's just getting out of a bad habit of calling me into her room at all hours of the night (2:00 a. m., anyone??) where she needs somthing mundane like a tissue. After doing that 2 or 3 times one night, I had to have a talk with her about calling me into her room for things she really doesn't need while I was sleeping. So now she's allowed to get it herself, thereby breaking the all-important big-girl rule #3: "no getting out of bed before the sun comes up," but I thought I'd make an exception for that. An interrupted-sleep Mommy makes for a crabby Mommy come morning. Add in 32 weeks pregnant and the fact that I'm already up 2 or 3 times to use the bathroom and . . . needless to say, she can get her own tissue.

Otherwise, things are great with Mira! It's going to be hard to add another to the mix, I'm sure, but well worth it. We're just looking forward to meeting this little girl. I wonder if she'll have black hair like Mira did, or come out blonde or even bald! If that happens, I'll have to get creative with bows and corn syrup!

Hope you are all well. Chris is on a weekend NASCAR trip to Las Vegas with Best Buy (lucky man!) and I am fighting a crappy head cold for which I can't take anything. At least the snow is melting!
Love, Michelle
