What's up with the funky names?

Time for Bed

December 15th, 2005

Tonight I was trying to help Mira go to sleep and she was having a hard time. Mostly, I think, because she had a nasty case of the hiccups. I put her on my chest because that is a good position for her to fall asleep in - though it's hard to then get her off my chest and onto the bed without her waking. That seemed to be working until she abruptly sat up. I said, "no, honey, put your head on my chest". But she didn't want to. I tried a couple more times to get her to lay back down on my chest, then she took my hand and put it on my chest and I realized she had spit-up. She was saying "no, daddy, I don't want to put my head in spit-up!" I said, "oh, sweetheart, I'm sorry!" And I took off my shirt. She immediately lay back down on my chest. In a few more minutes she was asleep.

I've added what seems like a ton of stuff. I've got a couple of month's worth of book picks and recipes up. The Recipes page is new. And December Mira page is new as well. I took down some stuff too, and changed some links, so if you find any broken links, please email me.

More Mira Photos

December 1st, 2005

March photos and text have beed added to Mira's collection. Check it out .

And November has been added to the archives. I'll post more photos here during the next nap!

So today I was playing with Mira. I'd put her hat on and she'd take it off, put it on, take it off, put it on take it off and the last time she took it off she said "OFF!" Mike and mom heard her say nanner last weekend, but this is the first word, other than Hi, I've heard her say.

The other thing she did today was stand up from a sitting position. She's been pulling herself up by grabbing onto tables, chairs, legs, but hasn't stood unassisted until today. So it was a bid day for us here in the frozen tundra.
