Harvalas In Holland: February 2008

Tuesday, February 26, 2008

It'll be 4 weeks tomorrow little Miriam was born, time does fly by! Due to no memory left on our camera and not getting anything done about it yet, there are no new pictures to post. Our little girl is noticeably bigger; last thursday (feb. 21st) she weighed 8 lbs 14 oz and 20 inches! She has now reached Joshua's birth weight.
Not to leave Joshua out at all, on that same day he weighed 32 lbs and was 34 inches... our baby boy is not so much a baby anymore. I don't think it will be much longer we can stop using the bulky convertible car seat with him, at 40 lbs he is able to use a booster car seat. He has turned into quite the climber although he hasn't escaped from his crib yet he is helping himself up onto the couch, the recliner and now the latest this morning is the dining room table! Ahhh. He is very much so a copycat which is great for learning (people will have to choose their words wisely around him now). Yesterday his new words were sausage and baby. He has said Grandpa only once, papa many times. When is comes to meal times he insists on feeding himself, he'd rather go for "big boy" pieces of food (we have to make sure he takes bites instead of shoving it all in at once though), and he uses a cup/glass without any type of cover.
This weekend Miriam will be baptized, she will be the 3rd baptism in a row here for Adam and possibly the last one for the year unless there's one born at the end of the year, but so far we don't know of anymore. Our friends, the Bonine's, are coming up from St. Louis, they will be arriving thursday evening I'm guessing. It will be fun to see them again as they just had their 2nd baby the end of December and their 1st is Joshua's age. It will surely be busy around here this weekend!
