natal equinox
Yesterday was Vi’s official natal equinox. What is a natal equinox, you ask? You’d have to ask Mike because he was the one who coined the term meaning being out in the world for the same time you were in the womb. That means Vi is a bona fide 9-month-old. I haven’t taken her in for her check-up yet, but her unscheduled doctor’s visit last week revealed that she weighs about 18 pounds which puts her right around the 50th percentile. I’ll have more stats next week after her official appointment. Poor thing will have to get shots, too:(
The other day we took a walk down to the neighbors for a bonfire. We loaded up our wagon with stuff for the fire, and it occurred to us that we could use Violet’s booster seat to contain her in the wagon. She loved the ride. And check out how green it’s getting in our neck of the woods. It’s deceitful because the weather still feels like winter most days.
In other news, the girls found a recently hatched butterfly. Mike found out that it is a black swallowtail. He/she was very “friendly” by letting the girls hold it. I’m guessing it was still adjusting to the world and didn’t know yet how to flee from large beings. The girls freed it back into the woods but found it the next day in the same spot.
Stay tuned tomorrow for shots from our Cubbies adventure this past week.
