2.5 Months Old








New things for Mirren lately: She loves to sit up, she LOVES to stand, until her legs get tired and then she's done but until they get tired she has the happiest expressions on her face. :)  She is big. Big for my babies at this age. She's in 3-6 month clothes. Size 1 diapers are getting close to being too small for her. I estimate she's probably about 12 pounds.  She smiles when she wants to generally, not easily influenced by outside sources.
Today I let the girls work together at changing her diaper and changing her clothes, with help from me when needed. Mirren was in HEAVEN with her big sisters touching her and being so close to her. She is such a laid back baby. You give her food, sleep, clean diapers, and she's pretty perfectly content. She is FINALLY willingly taking the binky at nap time. And only at nap time. So different from my other two girls. She LOVES bathtime just like Aftyn did at her age. I love to watch how spastic and excited she gets in water. She does this one leg kick thing, kind of looks like a karate move, in the water along with just splashing with one of her arms. I'll have to get it on video because it is pretty dang hilarious.
    We love her so much. I love how both of my girls are always making sure that Mirren is coming with us whenever we go out. :D  They really and truly care for and love her so so much. Aftyn is so good to check on Mirren for me when I ask whether it's in the car or just if I need her to check and see if she's still sleeping or finally asleep. It's interesting how having a 3rd child helps the other 2 kids come together so much more. At least in our family.

This is the first time I noticed she has a dimple/cleft in her chin. Do any of your other kids?

Not as deep as hers. If you feel my other girls' chins, you can feel the cleft, but for some reason it doesn't show up as much as Mirrens. I only just noticed 2 days ago that she REALLY has Reed's chin. The shape and the deep cleft. But nowhere near as deep as Reed's.
