Melina & JulianMelina’s personality is starting to shine through her waning newborn-ness. She’s an excellent night sleeper, going for six or seven hour stretches most nights (but still waking me to eat at 3 or 4am). She likes water, loves being held and walked, and is generally a happy camper.

Melina & TalulahWe’re also beginning to notice how much she loves being around other people, especially other babies and big brother Kai. Her eyes light up and she’s content to lie on a blanket or our bed and smile and kick for much longer stretches when someone her size is there with her.

Under Raycer's Play GymShe loved a mom’s group playdate last week so much we had one at our place yesterday. Mommy had fun chatting with friends, too. Tomorrow we head to San Francisco for a “Ladies Who Lunch” date with my friends. Might as well get the little lady started early!
