What's Going On

Since Melita was born (and really even before), our friends and family have been awesome about sending her presents. There were two new recent additions the last two months. In October, Ashley, Sean, and Rhea sent her the Hungry Catepillar.

Last week, Andre and Crystal sent her an elephant.

As the above picture shows, she has finally mastered sitting up on her own. Almost. She no longer tips over sideways, instead she gets so excited screeching and wiggling that she usually flings herself backwards, her head making a loud thunk on impact with the carpet.

She may not be a mensa baby like Isla, but she thinks reading is pretty tiring anyway.

And, finally,the star of this blog, who I have neglected to talk about for far too long, is doing fantastic. He went to the vet today and weighed in at 86 lbs! He probably wishes he could get more sleep, but I think he secretly loves having a wiggly little girl to watch over.
