Hawks, Growth & Food
Much has been happening and I’ve been hesitant to write until I had pictures ready to post. They still aren’t completely ready, but there are a few here to wet your whistle.
This past weekend we traveled to Iowa City for Spring Game. As my sister stated last night, “I thought football was in the fall.” True, but why not gather for food and beverage to watch the Hawks practice. The child to adult ratio is shrinking every tailgate it seems, but they are all so cute that it’s just fine. For many pictures from the event, check out Wendy’s photos. The game was cut a little short due to the cold drizzle that was falling, but it was still a good time. Just nice to be back in Iowa City for a short time.
Next up, 6-month appointment. She’s still itty bitty, but no worries.
The appointment went well and we discussed introducing food and summer care (sunscreen, bug repellent, etc.) I keep telling her to enjoy being tall and skinny now because those traits are definitely not in her DNA.
Which brings us to the next big event; We started solid food on Tuesday. Day 1 went pretty well, we got smiles, reaches for the spoon and general cuteness. (of course all of this is in pictures and video which will come later). Day 2, not so hot, but I did get a little into her. We’ll just keep trying and hopefully she’ll figure out, “Hey this stuff isn’t too bad and it makes my tummy feel full.
Okay, that’s enough from me. Enjoy.

Woohoo Clean Garage
Well cleaner at least. My Wednesday was rather nice. Muiread and I sat outside for a little bit. She ran her fingers through the grass; I kept the dog from sitting on her. Then we went for a lovely long walk. When we got back home I finally took some time to do some "domestic duties" in the garage. Some of you will remember I've been looking forward to this for about a month . It's sad, but it made me so happy this morning to walk out there and see it fairly clean. Sweeping all of the sand up alone was a huge help. That and moving all the random clutter to its proper location. Some of that stuff has been there since we moved in. Kind of wish I had taken a before and after picture. ;)

6-Months
Can you believe it? It’s been 6 months already since Muiread was born. I don’t even know where to begin or this monumental post. As far as development goes, we’re currently working on sitting up but we’ve got “feet in the mouth” down. Her vocabulary is ever expanding including a lovely new “D” sound. (I decided long ago though that her first official word cannot be mama or dada…it must be something different)
We enjoy watching her personality develop and for those of you who haven’t seen her in a while, she’s so fun right now. We finally know how to entertain her pretty well, she’s working on sleeping through the night, or at least settling herself back in, and she discovers new things everyday (mainly the animals).
We’re proud parents and just can’t get over how flippin’ adorable she is.
PS. Of course there are new photos too!

Get Ready 2024 Olympics
I have been waiting for today for well over a year. I probably have been looking forward to it since the first time I ever thought about having a child. Today Muiread and I went to our first Sea Turtle class at the YMCA. She’s a natural. No really, she is. She didn’t fuss at all, analyzed everything (just like her mom) and just seemed really comfortable in the water. Everyone was surprised she was old enough for the class and of course commented on her size. I was surprised she even kicked her legs some in the water. I’ll try to get pictures sometime, but it may be difficult as Brandon is not attending class with us.
The word is...
That's right in case you haven't heard, the family Whitworth is officially descending upon Iowa City this weekend for Spring Game. I really don't know what all is going on as it really is Brandon's weekend and we're just tagging along. These are the things I do know:
That's what I know, I may make changes later after Brandon reads this. Toodles

I've been holding out on you....
So yes, we do have some videos out on YouTube, I just really haven't shared them yet. For the most part I'm not sure who would find enjoyment in them as she really doesn't do all that interesting stuff to anyone but a direct blood line. I will share one of my favorite times of the day though. We come home from daycare, change the booty and then we see the happiest baby ever. (until she notices the camera)
