Busy weekend

It was a busy weekend for Meredith--she had a baby shower on Saturday put on by one of Grandma Lori's good friends, then was baptized on Sunday morning! She did great during the baptism and was sound asleep until just before Pastor Bob got her head wet. It was pretty cute, she slit her eyes and looked up at him like "Hey, what are you planning to do to me, buster?" :) There are photos from the baptism and a couple of updated shots on our photobucket website.

Meredith is growing like crazy and loves to hold her head up high when she's on her tummy and smiles at the baby in the mirror whenever she sees her reflection. She's still a very happy, joyful baby and we're having so much fun watching her change and discover the world!

Busy, busy, busy...

It's been two weeks since the big move, and I think we still have almost as many boxes sitting around this apartment! Unpacking is not an easy task with a 10-week old in the picture...especially our 10-week old, who has decided naps are totally overrated (!!!). Meredith has cut down the length and frequency of her naps quite a bit these last couple of weeks, and it makes for one very overtired little girl come about 6pm. I'm hoping it's just a phase she'll kick very soon...!

It's hard to believe how quickly these past 10 weeks have gone and how much Meredith has already changed. She's developing quite a little personality and has a very happy, joyful disposition. She's started giving us these funny, silly laughs and big, gummy smiles that are so cute. She still loves bathtime and has recently discovered the wonders of ceiling fans (she's thrilled that she has her very own fan in her new nursery). It's fun to watch her take in the world and discover new things every day.

Charlie is keeping busy with his internships and starts work at the hospital tomorrow morning, and I've been trying to stay on top of all our laundry! Seems like we're always busy doing something, but we're so happy to be back in Minot with family nearby.

Make sure to check out the new photos on Meredith's photobucket!

Love,
Carolyn
