More Birthday Fun

With Kurt's birthday yesterday, we've moved forward to Melissa's half birthday today! She is officially eight and a half today. We try to at least recognize half birthdays with a "hey, it's your half birthday", but sort of went overboard with Nathan's this year, complete with cake. Well, half of one:
And took his picture:
So it only seems fair that we take Melissa's picture to celebrate the day.

Since Kurt and Melissa's birthdays are consecutive days of the month, the number-worker in me has thought that should we ever have another baby, he/she would be great to come on the 13th of any month, as long as it was a Thursday. That way we'd have a 12th (Nathan), a 13th (new person), the 14th (Kurt), and the 15th (Melissa). Kind of fun, huh? Of course not important, and no plans are being made to actually create another person. Just how my head works. Oh, and the Thursday thing is because we've now had babies on every other day of the week besides Sunday. Thursday would mean they'd all have their own day. We've come this far, why double up now?


Our Miss Emily had a pretty good night's sleep and woke up this morning a little different. Just more baby like and less fetal. I remember when Nathan made this change, mostly in the sound of his cry. He just became a boy one day....
Here's picture proof of Emily this morning:

The picture makes her hair look lighter I think too, though it doesn't necessarily look that way on her head yet.
