Happy playtime

Miriam is surrounded by pillows and couch cushions. But has to take advantage of there cushioning ability as she has been sitting up pretty well and pushing herself up when she tilts. Big grins all-round.

Diapering

Just three months makes so much difference for a big brother. When Miriam was born any bodily function she'd have would freak Z out. He'd hold her for a few seconds and then pass her back, with a worried expression. When we asked, it was because he didn't want her to poop, fart, or spit up on him. We explained diapers and clothes are layers of protection but he was not interested. But now she's a little bigger and he's acclimatized to the messiness of baby life. So much so that after a little naked tummy time, he offered to help put her back in the cloth diaper! It was adorable to have him help and learn about snappies, covers and folding the diaper so it fits Ms. Miriam.

#pi in the sky

That's right tomorrow is 3/14 or pi day. And sxsw got some pi early. Z was fascinated by the numbers written in the sky above our house, so much so he had dinner on the front lawn. Probably something to do with all the math he has been doing on the dreambox app his school provided. He is moving through the grades at a steady pace. Next stop measurement, and geometry, then he'll be asking about algebra and calculus!

P.S. Sarah just learned the numbers are made at 10,000 ft and are each a quarter mile high. They went to about 500 digits of pi!
