Miriam Laughing at the Dog

This video is over a month old but we're behind on our video editing. Sorry. This is June 14th.

I LOVE GRAMMA AND GRAMPA!!!!! And aunt Grace!

Miriam and I (Mandy) flew to Detroit to visit my parents this last week. The flights were... frustrating, but the overall trip was SO fun! She absolutely LOVED gramma and grampa and aunt Grace! Grace had a gift for making Miriam laugh uncontrollably. Teething has taken it's toll on our sanity, but but we're getting through it. Jason is leaving tomorrow for one more week of camp, then he's back home for good. This summer has been hard with him gone SO much, but it's almost over, thank goodness! She's got her 6-month doctor's appointment next week, I'm excited to see how long she is and how much she weighs. She's a big girl!

The two baldies

Silly girls being silly

This is her whiny face; not upset enough to cry,

but not happy either

She loves her blankie bear. She fell asleep
telling him a story. I thought it was so sweet.

This is another new face she's been making since she's been teething

She was looking up at Jason as he was talking

and she dozed off. It looked so uncomfortable!

Growing, growing, growing!

A lot has happened with the baby since our last post (sorry). She started eating solid foods. So far she's had rice cereal, peas and squash. She's loved having real food, especially the squash! She wants so badly to sit up unsupported, but can't quite balance yet. She still only has the one three-inch hair on the tip top of her head, no growth anywhere else yet. AND still no teeth... she's been teething for over a month with nothing to show for it. Her new thing has been popping her legs straight up in the air and grabbing her toes. It gives a unique view of her leg rolls, I like it. The fish and the dog are SOOO entertaining to her right now. But nothing can compare to her own reflection, she just LOVES that pretty girl in the window!
