Surprise!

Merryn saw Mickey Mouse was talking about surprises so she decided she and I should surprise each other. She would say, "Mommy, surprise!" So I would play it cool for a minute and then turn to her and say "Surprise!" And every time she would act so surprised she flung herself onto her back on the couch. Then she surprised me and I did a big surprised act of my own. Many times.

James to his 6 month appt. yesterday. 17 lbs, 14 oz. 27.5 inches. Healthy, chubby boy. His smile is pure, unadulterated bliss. He adores Merryn and she makes h giggle. She doesn't seem jealous anymore, in fact she adores him back. "Kiss baby"

I have lost 4 pounds and I feel good! Tired, yesterday almost too tired to function.,.better today. We slept until 8 am.
