Happy Two Months, Miriam!

   One Day               One Month               Two Months

Well, after a six and a half month hiatus from blogging, we've seen our fair share of life changes:


We moved across continents to plant ourselves in Boston amidst snow drifts and gale winds. We spent a great month and a half with Zach's dad during our apartment search. We trusted and waited and trusted some more during Zach's job search which ended perfectly with his hire at the Harvard School of Public Health. Then just eleven days later, nine months of waiting came to fruition on May 20th at 2:35pm. Little miss Miriam Amina Ward came into the world healthy, happy, and beautiful. It's hard to believe it has already been two months. Here are some highlights from her first two months of life.

We hopped on a plane to Colorado to attend Matt and Callie's wedding in Amarillo on June 18th.  Then Miriam smiled consciously for the first time on Father's Day just before Zach left to return to Boston and then France.

Now at two months, Miriam is weighing in at a chubby 12lbs. 12oz. and is 22.5 inches long. It's hard to believe that she has almost gained six pounds! Here's to many many more months with you, Miriam.
