Gwennie is officially clean behind the ears now several times over. The parental units are far too modest to say that they have perfected anything, when it comes to not getting soaked and/or assulted with tears, but we're making progress with the sponge baths. Hopefully, she takes after her Dad's enjoyment of swimming and has a brillant Micheal Phelps-like career (her mother sinks like a rock and isn't very happy in water deeper than a bathtub...) We swear half the fun of getting her clean is an excuse to use the little hooded towels on her!
We arrived home (FINALLY) on Monday - still another day later than planned, but we got her out of the "box." The first checkup was yesterday in Miles again. Gwen is in good health. In fact, our pediatrican laughingly informed us that she is definitely going to be "an active child" (hmmm, who guessed). Right now, Gwen is strong enough to hook her arm over the edge of the diaper changing table and turn onto her side without any help. This also means that diaper changing sessions are as brief as possible and eyes are fixed on the daugher at all times.
Anne is looking forward to fitting back into some of her clothes. It's pretty sad when a person gets excited about being able to wear early maternity wear vs the 4 ft long shirts needed to cover the massive basketball-sized tummy late in the months. Eric is celebrating the new child's arrival home by working to chink some of the logs inside and outside the living room to prepare for winter. Right now, he is perched on a ladder above, happily trying not to drop bits of the sticky chinking into his wife's hair and/or laptop. So, as usual, projects of all sorts abound at House of Miller.
Welcome home, Millers! Can't wait to come out and visit. Thanks for posting all the pics!
