Melina has experienced a few firsts lately! These were all around her three-month birthday.
First dip in a mountain stream (toes only): around July 22, in Early Winters Creek
First visit to an alpine meadow: around July 23 (she slept)
First visit to an alpine lake: the same day
First time hearing the peeping of pikas: the same day (maybe she heard them in her sleep)
First encounter with a deer: around the same time
First toes in the grass: yesterday, July 27
First time noticing herself in the mirror (with a big smile!): yesterday
What a busy baby!

Exploring too many interests
In Melina's words
- I want to go to Thailand, so we can go in those cups that spin and see the big castle.
- Can you give me your hair?
- I don't like meatballs that aren't from Ikea.
- When I'm sad, I go to the window, look outside, and see a castle far, far away.
- Mother Nature never runs out of bandaids. Right, mommy?
- I want to move. I want to be not used to all of this.
- I didn't been on a plane since in a while. (Sometimes those tenses are so hard!)
- (After I let her taste my beer, which she hated): When I go back to preschool, I'll tell them that I got to have beer in Mexico.
- (In Mexico): We have this road at home.
- No, gracias!
