Miriam's latest interest...her hands

The past few days we have caught Miriam admiring her hands. She looks at her right hand constantly as if she just got a manicure or a new ring:






Miriam can have quite the attitude :P


So, here we are...4 and a half months. Amazing how time is flying. She is about 17 lbs and 27" long. Miriam continues to delight John and me, and we are really happy spring is on the way: sunshine, flowers, and a lot to see and explore.
Last week, we went to the NY Botanical Gardens to see the Orchid Show. Such a treat- each flower was as beautiful as the next.




Miriam's Grandmother, my Mom, made a beautiful quilt. It is bright and happy: hot air balloon-print squares with bright colored pinwheels. I really love the quilt, and I hope that Miriam will appreciate all of the hard work and creativity that goes into quiltmaking!


Happy Spring :)
