Just wanted to say...

Miriam ran for the first time today. We were getting a snack ready and I said "Where's you milk? We can't have our snack 'till you find your milk". Well, she must have known exactly where it was cuz I've never seen her little legs move so fast. She started to actually run, and I thought the whole house might shake into a pile of rubble because she landed each step with a straight leg and a flat foot. I couldn't get her to do it again for the camera... you know how it is. A couple other cute words she's saying are thank you (tee-dyou) and bonk (bok) every time her head bumps something, which is hundereds of time a day. And today I said "Brrrrrr, it's cold outside" and she put her shoulders to her ears and her little fists to her chin and scrunched her whole face and growled like a bear, "Grrrrrrr". It was cute. Sorry, no pics today.

Just life

Things have been kinda busy, sorry it's been almost a month since I've blogged. Mira is saying all kinds of new words. She chatters in a foreign tounge all day long. She lectures her babies, and her blanky, and the dog.... ok, and her parents too. She just acts as though she's explaining something very complicated to us. She's completely obsessed with balloons right now, she used to call them balls, but we've corrected her so many times now she knows what they are but can't make it past the "L". She points and says "Blllllllllllllllll...". Her favorite word has to be uh-oh. She started saying "up" when she wants picked up. She says water (wawa), milk (mi), more (mo), pretty (bee-ee). She loves balls, and everything that has a round shape is a ball to her. You can imagine how exciting the produce section is for us. She's been VERY into girly things. She likes to wear dress shoes, and holds her foot in the air and says "bee-ee". She likes clothing with glitter or sparkles on it, she just likes to look bee-ee. And now she likes to brush her hair... so bee-ee. And she's walking confidently now too. She strolls all over the whole house, just to see the sights. But when we're not at home she's got to scope the place out and make sure it's safe before she'll walk. It's funny.

Jason and Taten built a happy snowman on Apr 29th,

but he soon turned into a sad snowman. Will spring ever come?

We borrowed this seat when Miriam was born, now we borrowed it again for the new little baby I babysit, but Miriam is a little confused about it.The top picture is her when she was only a couple days old. The bottom picture... you know.

This is on family movie night. We sat down in front of the TV with some snacks and The Tale of Desperoux, and she couldn't stop lecturing the TV. Silly kid.
