Faces of Mer


Ever notice how little ones have so much they need to express to you in the morning? When I go in to get Mer out of the crib around 6am, she goes directly from mournful crying to purposeful pointing. She usually points to something in her crib and begins waxing philosophic about the item. It's all quite serious -- as if she's been waiting all night to discuss this with me.


Then we go to the high chair, where she inhales a banana within seconds. Breakfast is when Meredith likes to experiment with new faces and new consonant sounds. It's weird. She'll try things out during breakfast that don't get worked into the normal repertoire for days. I guess we really do process while we sleep. Kids are cool.

Look at that pretty smile!

She's a peach. . .we must get her and Nora together again so they can giggle their hearts out.

Whatever the face, Meredith is adorable! It was fun seeing you guys lastnight.

She really is a good mix of you two- especially in that picture where she is smiling. Lydia is always dramatic in the morning, too.
