Searching for goodies in the pantry: 
Daddy subjecting Miriam to tickle torture:
Miriam rading the tupperware cupboard (her thrice daily ritual):
Posing for the camera:
Louise and Miriam swimming (and showing off our sunglasses):
Last night we watched the movie "Julie and Julia". Before bed he
quoted Julia Child as he told me "You're the butter to my bread".
Thanks for the sentiment Joe. We do make a pair. I can't think of a
food that better fits your character than bread. You're my bread, my
daily staple.
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.
