2 months old

My gorgeous baby is 2 months old today! My family has been in town because we blessed her yesterday in Church. (Pictures of Miriam in her blessing outfit to come soon.) I'm so grateful that my parents live within a day's drive so they can come visit fairly often. And now 4 out of the 5 kids in my family all live in Utah. 2 of my siblings go to BYU and my baby brother Nick just started at the University of Utah today. You can bet I'm going to make him babysit!

Getting back to Miriam... she is such a sweet baby. She smiles so much these days, especially in the mornings. I took all these photos of her this morning after her nap. She was just grinning away at me. She's started cooing a bit too. She's getting chubbier although she's definitely not as big as Asher was at 2 months. But like him, she loves to be held. She sleeps really well at night, usually only waking once or twice.

It's amazing how even though it's been just two months since her birth (a fast two months at that), it also feels as if she's always been with us. I'm so grateful to have her in our family. We all just adore her.
