Nine Months (almost): Going International!

My dear Miriam,

You started crawling yesterday, we are so proud of you, and you are clearly so proud of yourself!

I had an idea that I would have time to post a full letter, but we leave in the morning (just a few hours away now) for your first trip abroad, so I will do that when we return.

Suffice to say we can't wait to spend all these days with you. Oh, and you are quite wee, just 17 pounds, 27" long. Which means we'll be able to carry you everwhere!

All my love,
Mom
