Staring down the mobile

It's hilarious how intently she stares at the owls on the mobile. Her eyes will follow them closely as they make their rounds.



Sleeping with the Grandmas

I once asked my mom how she would be able to split up time holding Melia with Jason's mom if they were over at the same time. She said, "You should've considered having twins then."
Here are some pics of her taking naps on her grandmothers... obviously taken on different days :)






Might be trying to open her eyes in this picture.

Meeting the Kershners

Meeting Aunty Beth for the first time...

And new friend Claire

And buddy Sam

Being Dressed by Daddy

These pictures are actually from a few weeks ago. Check out Jason's attempt at dressing Melia. Yes, the onsie was buttoned on the outside of her pants. His reasoning: this will help keep her too-big pants up!


She didn't seem too upset though. :)

Hello Aunty Shawna and Uncle Maya!

She's ready to learn some golf swings from Aunty Shawna.

Go Dawgs!

Relaxing in her UW gear


Hanging with the rest of the Huskies.

Daddy seems so proud. I need to get her some OSU stuff. :p

More funny faces

Is this not the grumpiest face ever?
It's funny how quickly her expressions change...
Seems a bit more pleasant here:

Doesn't always last long. :)


Trip to the Rose Garden

We decided to take Melia to the Rose Garden.
She slept the entire time we were at the park.
Unfortunately, the roses haven't begun to bloom.


Her sleeve is actually still way too big and stuck straight up. It looks like she's trying to wave in this picture.

New Family Pic

Check out Melia's chubby little cheeks.


Best Nap Ever!

Everyone warns you as a new parents, you won't get much sleep. Melia was a little fussy this afternoon and wouldn't nap for more than 15 minutes at a time.




She's starting to get more sleepy here...







Big yawn







Before I knew it, we both passed out. I have to say, this was the best nap I've had in weeks.



Sweet sleeping baby. She ended up sleeping for 3 hours!

Hello Uncle Michael!

Meeting Uncle Michael for the first time.


She was an absolute angel during his visit.

How did she fit in there??

Sometimes when Melia's stretched out, I wonder how she was able to fit in my belly. Then she'll curl up and it all makes sense :)

Here's a shot of me exactly 1 week prior to birth.

Oishii!

Means "Delicious!" in Japanese
Thanks to Jenna for this cute bib!
And she's back to sleep after her meal...

Favorite sleeping position

No matter how we swaddle her, she always manages to get an arm free.

She seems to sleep really well in this position though!



Going for a walk

Nice days are just too far and in between in the NW. We took her out for a short walk on a recent sunny day.



Time with Daddy

I think this is my new favorite picture of the two of them.
