Cute Outfit

Here's the newest outfit from Grandma Shirley modeled by our lovely Mirah (with wooden block accessory, a must have!) It's got a hat with it too, that matches the shorts, but unfortunately that doesn't stay on very well since there's no chin strap on this one.

Mirah was our model for more pictures this weekend too; we had family portraits done by Jeff's friend from aikido. When we get those back, I'll post them. She was fussy for a lot of the time because she didn't want to have to stay still, of course. Especially since we were in the dojo and there's a big expanse of mat just waiting for her to crawl across! (Not surprisingly there wasn't a single clutter free spot in the house we could use!)

Old McDonald

Last weekend Mirah decided to sing along. Now, sometimes when you sing the song to her, after you say "Ee i ee i" she says "o" at the end. So...cute... She's also actually managing to stand on her own for a few seconds at a time now, but she's still a bit wobbly. She crawls pretty fast at this point though, right at whatever she shouldn't be getting into...

As an addendum to Claire's Mother's day post, here's a picture of Grandmom and Mirah on Mother's Day.

Crawling!

Yes, she's done it! She's started crawling! Last week she figured out the belly to sitting by pushing back transition that she was missing. And Saturday night she went for the iphone where Grandma was talking to her about 4 feet of actual crawling! Now she does it whenever she really wants to get to something, and then she's very proud of herself. It's so cute! (and oh boy, here comes trouble) Not to mention she's started doing a very nice and ear piercing shriek whenever she's frustrated about something. She's doign it right now because I'm not paying attention to her. So I'll go and get her ready for bed.
