My mom and brother, Jaime, finally moved into their new house, here in Cedar City, over the weekend. My Aunt Nola, Uncle Bill, cousins Trent and Mathew, and friends Ryan and Ian all came down to help unload the truck. Everyone except my mom and Ian were meeting Mireya for the first time. I have to say, I think they all thoroughly enjoyed her. Who wouldn’t?

I was worried that she was going to get overwhelmed and overstimulated, but she didn’t. She was a fantastic baby all day long. She actually slept until we got the truck unloaded and woke up at the perfect time to meet everyone. She got passed around from person to person and she loved it! I was ready to step in if she showed any signs of being upset, because she was being passed around like a hot potato. I never had to, because she seemed to really enjoy it. She smiled and talked to each and every person. She is obviously going to be very social!

I decided to show everyone how she loves to stand in my lap. They couldn’t believe that she was standing with little assistance at 10 weeks. I had to explain that for whatever reason she loves it. She’s actually to the point where I can tell she’s getting frustrated that she can’t do more than that. When she figures out how to crawl, she is going to be difficult to keep up with.

She seems to be particularly captivated by Jaime. She gets so excited when he talks to her! I think she is really going to enjoy having him and Nana so close by. They’ll probably become our number one babysitters very quickly. I was actually thrilled the other day when I had to go to a dentist appointment and all I had to do was drop her off at Nana’s.

Mireya, you’re such a little superstar!
