Visiting Tashi
So far, the big event this week for Nina was our trip on Monday to Inwood, to see Yishane and Tashi. It was the first time the babies met since they visited us in the hospital, and everyone had a great time (except for a brief moment when Nina cried after Tashi bopped her on the nose with a plastic star; but no harm done, and Nina quickly went back to playing on the floor; link to the video here). Nina liked Tashi’s safari-themed playmat so much that she was allowed to take it home with her. She’s been enjoying it since.
That night, we stopped in at Nina’s first party - celebrating our friend Ruth’s 50th birthday. Nina got lots of attention and chilled out for a while in the back bedroom. She met a celebrity astrologer who said that she’s bound to be a talkative Gemini!
On Tuesday, Nina had her 2-month checkup. She had to get four injections, which she bore heroically. She cried hard but recovered quickly, and then she fell asleep in the stroller on the way out. She now weighs 11 pounds 12 ounces and is 22.75 inches long!

The 0.75 inches cracks me up. Your doctor is very precise! We loved our visit with Nina, and are really happy she’ll enjoy the gymini (jiminy).
