Miina’s First Word

We have determined that Miina’s first word is more of a phrase. She constantly points to things and says, “What’s that?”. Sure, she has said “dada” for a while now, but that’s not aimed particularly at me. She calls Leslie “dada” too.

Me and Miina Weekend

It was a me and Miina weekend. Leslie had to take Toby up to Hibbing in advance of our Omaha vacation. She decided that it would be fun to take Morgan too. So I stayed behind to play with my new iPhone and to watch Miina. After seeing Leslie and Morgan off, we just relaxed [...]

Miina’s 9 month appt

We took her to the doctor for her 9 month yesterday.
She is doing really well. She is 50% for head, 15% for weight and 50% for height. Our doctor isn’t concerned about her weight for now, he said she should even out over the course of the next 3 months (by her 12 month visit). [...]

Crawling at 7 Months

Well now we are really in trouble. Miina took her first forward crawling motion on Sunday.  She’s been trying so hard for a few weeks now. Finally she figured it out. Now, 3 days later she seems to be developing her crawling skills quite nicely. Yesterday, Leslie said that Miina was on the living room [...]

Miina Update

We havent posted anything in a while, but a lot has been going on with Miina. Ireland must have changed her, because ever since we got back she has not had the fussy time at night. Miina still has been waking up once per night for food but in the past week or so we [...]

Baby’s First Halloween

Last Friday was Miina’s first Halloween. She used Morgan’s peapod costume, one of the many hand-me-downs. It was more of a themed costume because Morgan was a princess. The princess and the pea(pod). You may remember it from a Bee Movie, or just Google it, I had to.
Anyway, Leslie took the girls around the neighborhood. [...]

Big Day for Miina

Yesterday was a huge day for Miina. While I was at work, Josh stayed home with the girls as he always does. Well, he put Miina on the floor to play with some of the toys we’d found in the basement. She does this new thing where she grabs her legs, while [...]

Miina’s 2 month visit

Miina’s check up went well. She’s 11.6 lbs and 22 inches long. That puts her in the 75th percentile for weight and 50th for height and head size. She’s growing SO fast!
We were lucky enough to get into see the doctor we take Morgan to, so they will have the same doctor. [...]

Welcome Miina

We welcomed Miina Vine Pokorny into our family at 4:56am, on Saturday, June 7, 2008.
Friday night (June 6th) was pretty much like every other night for the last few weeks of the pregnancy, uncomfortable and sleepless. For some reason, Friday night I was having more trouble than usual falling asleep. I tried changing [...]
