visited, Miriam has grown a new tooth! Her first two appeared during
our May visit, and now tooth number three (on the top this time)
appeared this past weekend while in San Antonio for our friends,
Flavia and Richard's wedding. Now don't put your finger in this baby's
mouth or you'll be liable to lose it. *toothy grin*
In other Miriam news;
She's walking along furniture with some adeptness now.
She's been sleeping much better now that she's out of our bedroom.
Her favorite food is banana, although she eats mostly anything now.
She thinks apllesauce is sour, but she'll eat it anyway.
Her fuzz is still getting longer and we're wondering if she might
become a strawberry blonde or perhaps a light brown. Her eyes are
definitely blue though.
Her favorite activity is playing with the silverware when I'm packing
the dishwasher.
She gets excited when she sees dogs (She had fun playing with Rocky
over the weekend).
We've also come to believe she's spoken her first word; Several times
this week when I've walked into the room, she's broken out saying ma
ma ma ma... especially if she was upset. We're practicing da da now.
Although she's been saying those sounds for a long time, it's never
been in context until now. She definitely understands a lot of words
though. For example, when we were walking out on the trail last week,
Joe said "Look Miriam, a doggy" and she immediately swivelled her head
around to find it.
That's great she's sleeping better, but how about you? Are you sleeping better or are you up all night wondering if she's OK? I did that the first few days with Anna, not so much with Miriam, and once we put Thomas in his own room (in a few months), I am sure I will sleep through the night the first night. :-) Can't wait, seriously.
ReplyDeleteYour Miriam is doing great, cruising around, talking, growing teeth . . . I thought she was only, like, 9 months old! It must be the genius of both her parents combined that makes her be so precocious (I vaguely remember this word being one of those I had to learn for our "learning to study" class our first semester at BYU - do you know which class I'm talking about?)
Anyway, as always, I miss you! Keep having fun being a mommy!
