on this night
I went to bed 8 years ago and didn’t suspect a thing. Until 2 am, when my water broke. And we went to the hospital, believing it was a false alarm, because whose first baby comes 2 weeks early? Ours did!
Miranda continues to amaze and surprise us. Today the pediatrician had to measure how tall she was as he thought she had grown. She seems so tall, but still 1-2 inches from the olly-olly-oxen-free car seat freedom. No matter, tomorrow, she can skip the booster seat. Age supersedes the height and weight rules.
In proof that the first year was a blur, Bella is starting to look like I remember Miranda looking as a toddler. The resemblance was strong at birth and now again this week. And that first year was tremendously hard what with Miranda learning how to get her point across and roll over and sit and stand and walk, but at least we didn’t have to start school! The last week of summer vacation is heavy, dude, heavy.

In off-topic television tunnel vision, I had to share how much it delighted me to learn that the voice of Ferb, on the cartoon Phineas and Ferb, is played by Thomas Sangster, who played Sam in Love Actually. (And yes, the deepness of Ferb’s voice confused me until I realized that that Love Actually, timeless though it may be, is more than 5 years old.) And Ferb has been crushing on Vanessa in the episodes on repeat this week. And Vanessa is voiced Olivia Olson, who played Joanna in Love Actually. You know, Sam’s huge crush. Love actually is all around, I guess. And a good inside joke is priceless.
