two and a half
Our little Miriam is 2 1/2 years old. She has grown up into quite the little girl. She keeps us on our toes everyday. Here is a little bit about Miriam and what she is doing lately.
Miriam loves to talk to anyone who will listen. Sometimes we don't understand a single thing she is saying (because she just babbles) but she must have something important to say. She is starting to repeat what people say more and more. The other day at story-time the librarian said she was impressed with how well the kids were singing. Miriam turned around to me and said, "I am impressed too". Some of Miriam's new phrases are:
"Hold on a minute"
"Wait for me"
She adds "though" to the end of sentences -- "I can do it though"
Miriam still loves learning sign language. She also loves singing primary songs. In sacrament meeting this week we sang "I am a Child of God". I have to admit I teared up a bit as I watched her sing along to the song I sing when I rock her each night. When it was over she said "one more song" (which is what she says each night) and requested "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star".
We are trying to teach Miriam a little bit of independence. We tell her to try to do it herself and then ask for help if she needs it. She uses a step stool to get up on our bed to help with Simon. She is learning to dress and undress herself. We are still working on the potty business.
Miriam loves to watch the videos we take of her. She sits at the computer and asks to watch "Miriam movies". It is cute to watch her because she points out things she is doing in the video like she wasn't there. Sometimes I take the videos just so she can watch them.

It is so much fun watching Miriam learn and grow each day. She can always make me us smile.

stats at the two month check up
Simon went to the doctor today. Here is what we found out.
Simon weighs: 14.3 pounds (95%)
Simon's height: 24 inches (75%)
It is amazing how much they grow in two short months. I realized I had these pictures of Simon in the same shirt sleeping in the bouncy chair. He is definitely busting out of his 3 month clothes now. Oh how we love his chubby cheeks!

Brother and Sister
Miriam sure loves being a big sister. I am sure that Simon will love being her brother. She is a great helper. She loves to help change diapers. She always lets us know when he spits. Her favorite thing to tell him when he is crying is "It's okay buddy". Miriam can't wait for Simon to be big enough to play with her.

Tummy Time
What good is tummy time when Simon always falls asleep?
He loves laying on his stomach and I fear he will never get neck strength.
I was even trying to keep him awake with toys.

America's Sweetheart
Oh yeah, while we were at Mount Vernon we saw Sarah Palin. She was on a tour of historical sites in the east. Michael snapped this picture of her before she entered the mansion. Then he said "We saw America's sweetheart" (sarcastically... I think).
