Happy Half Birthday, Miriam!!

She thought she'd finally sprout some hair for her half birthday...

Has it really been six months? Most people look at our 94th percentile (read chubby) baby and guess that she is at least eight months, but I still find it hard to believe that half a year has gone by. She sleeps all night long and spends her days at full throttle wanting to sit up all the time and devour anything in sight...

                                   

Our first fall in New England proved to be just as beautiful as we'd hoped. November was full of warm, sunny days and beautiful foliage everywhere. In fact it's been so nice that we are still in denial that dreaded winter is just around the corner.

First time in the swings at our neighborhood park.

Miriam's sixth month was also full of guests. She got to see three grandparents, one great-grandparent, and one of our dear friends from college. She is one loved little girl.

With her great-grandmother.
She has now met all seven of her living great-grandparents!

I don't think I've ever heard Miriam laugh so much!

Zach is not just a public health programmer by day but has recently extended his endeavors into cheese and beer making. I am happy to share in the bounty...

Learning all about the beer making process...

   That's all folks...
