Leda's visit

Leda was back in Utah for a couple of days back in mid-May, and we all managed to at least get some of the old 216 gang together for dinner and chatting. Not getting to be roommates with these girls is the only downside of marriage, if you ask me. I must echo Leda's sentiments that she posted here- I admire these girls so much and have been so lucky to have had them as my closest friends for so long. Love you guys!

Mim's Blessing

Mike blessed Mim on May 17th at our ward here in Lehi. Mike did a great job and Mim was adorable, as you might expect. She slept through the whole thing, which was kind of a relief. She wore the christening gown that Mike wore when he was blessed (yup, he totally wore a lace dress) for the actual blessing and then later on I changed her into my blessing dress (which I was surprised she was big enough for- I was almost 2 pounds heavier than her when I was born). It was a great day and super fun to have our family and friends over- some still hadn't even seen the house since we'd moved in. And now, the pictures:

Just more pictures

After bath time. Her hair is curly (at least when it's wet).
She's wearing the bloomers that go with one of her dresses that actually fits. The bloomers don't so much, but I wanted to put them on her and take a picture because I thought they looked like pirate pants.
She (usually) smiles back at me and Mike when we smile at her, and I finally got a picture of it. I love it!

Man, my baby is cute

I don't have much time, if I want to take a shower while Mim is still napping, so I'll just share some of my favorite pictures of my favorite girl.

Bathtime with Nana! She likes her baths, and doesn't like being taken out.Such cute little legs.
Grandpa with his 3 newest grandbabies- Ryker, William, and Mim. William is 3 weeks older than Mim, and Mim is almost 3 weeks older than Ryker.
This is one of her newborn sleepers- it was Mike's favorite. I figured this would be one of the last times she wore it, since she's so long and growing so fast, so I took a picture. This was when she was around 3 weeks, maybe a little younger.

First laugh

I'm pretty convinced that Mim laughed for the first time yesterday. I was holding her and she was being really smiley and she looked up (not quite at me) and went "Huh huh" like kind of the laugh you do when you make fun of a dumb jock, but so much cuter because it was higher pitched and from a baby.
