1 month old!

So Claire already updated everyone on the whole pediatrician visit and how fast Mirah is growing (2 lbs 9 oz in 1 month!), so here are some more examples of gratuitous cuteness.  Seriously, I could just snap pictures of her unbelievably cute face all day.  I am defenseless against it.  These first two are just a few random 'Mirah is so cute I should take a picture' pictures.  Bask in the fuzzy warmth of the concentrated cute.

So.....cute.....

Yesterday was Mirah's one month birthday, so we celebrated with a candle in a ginger snap.  Small lady, small cake.  She slept through us singing to her, but I'm sure she was dreaming a wish when Claire blew out the candle.  Since Claire ate the snap, Mirah gets to have some of her birthday treat indirectly.  Sort of a new take on cookies and milk....cookies as milk.

This is one of Mirah asleep this morning.  Again...overwhelming cute.

Extreme close up of extreme cute.

Mirah got dressed up for her doctors visit today, as well as to visit some of the folks at Several Dancer's CORE, so I of course had to get a picture of her looking all gussied up.  You can tell she's pulling out all the stops because she actually has shoes on.

Mirah was vaguely concerned about heading to the pediatrician before she dozed of in the car seat.  Fortunately, shots were not in the cards for this visit.

Check up

No photos from me today but Jeff might have a couple of Mirah in the outfit we put on her to go visit the pediatrician. It was a good check up--she only fussed when the doctor looked in her ears and when Jeff put her in the car seat to leave. She is 11 lbs and has grown half an inch in length since birth! Her head is also 1.5 inches bigger around! So she's growin like crazy (we knew that but now we know how much!) No wonder she always seems to be hungry!

Mirah's outgrowing stuff already...

So Mirah is wearing this adorable little jumpsuit for the first time because it's cold enough today to wear it...and yet it's already about to be too small! Actually, it says it's newborn size, for up to 8 pounds. Well she was more than that at birth! But she can still fit in this for maybe today...and not sure how much longer! I've also tried to put socks on her to keep her tootsies warm...but that is of course a futile exercise! We've lost one for good somewhere between here and the roof deck, after the first pair (and her first 2 outfits and one of mine this morning) were all lost to spit up.
But another thing we found out today, she likes The Postal Service (band not the USPS!) Jeff put on their album and was rocking her to the music and she stopped fussing. The music stopped and she was fussy again...so we listened to the album twice, until my arms got tired anyway. And eventually she took a nap without the music going...and she's napping now so I may go do the same. :)

Naps, frogs, baths and faces

We've been all about nap time lately, since no one (except Simon) is sleeping more than a few hours at a time.  Here are a couple of shots of naps in action.  First, both my babies, dozing in a sunbeam.  Simon's contortion level is usually directly correlated with how asleep he is.  Here I'll say 8.5 out of 10.  Mirah is rocking the baby hammock.

Here Claire and Mirah doze between feedings and diaper changes.  Note the similar head pose when sleeping.  She's definitely her mama's daughter.

For Halloween, my princess was a frog, or maybe she was a baby being eaten by a frog.  Given the size of her costume, you can make the call.

So far Mirah's a bit ambivalent about baths, all 3 that she's taken.  Once she's old enough for bath toys and a real tub, I'm sure she'll be a bigger fan.

The rest of these pictures are ones I snapped the other day of Mirah as we were both waking up.  She goes through a crazy range of faces when she's just waking up and stretching, and I tried to capture as many of them as I could, though I think I missed some of the better ones.  Still, pure concentrated cuteness.
