Looking Back

Remember this picture...

from this post back in December?
Look at her now.

She can't stand under the table anymore. It isn't until I look back that I really can see how much Miriam has grown.

Tissue Anyone?

Miriam learned how to pick her nose today. In an effort to teach her lady-like manners I sent her to the bathroom to find a tissue. Here is what she came back with:

It was a beautiful long chain of toilet paper and it was still attached to the roll when I went back to the bathroom. Oh what fun!

Memorial Day Weekend

Since I am on a blogging roll, I thought I would go ahead and blog about more past events. We spent Memorial Day weekend with my parents. It was nice to be together. While we were there we got on a sporcle kick. It is a website with quizzes and such. We hooked up the laptop to the TV for a while and had endless fun. I bought Miriam some bubbles and introduced her to the fun of sidewalk chalk. She had fun playing with her cousins over the weekend. We were so glad that nicer weather finally arrived. We spent a lot of time outside playing. My dad even had some help fixing the trampoline. Of course, we also ate and ate and ate. I can't wait for the 4th of July!

May Backlog

Have I mentioned how much I love our new camera? My new picture count for the year (up through May) is 1061. Here are some pictures I have taken the past month that I haven't posted yet. (there are so many more, but you have to draw the line somewhere.)

We took a couple of trips to the duck pond south of campus.

I took some pictures of my sister and her family.

We did a special project for Michael's mom for mother's day. This was our contribution.

I have wonderful subjects to photograph which has made it that much more fun. I know I still have a ton to learn about this camera, but I am ready and willing.

Lack of Video Surveillance

While I was doing the dishes, Michael was playing with Miriam. When I was finished I turned around and they weren't there. I found them in the bedroom jumping on the bed. It was cute and I wanted to get a video of it. I did not succeed. Here is the reason I hardly ever post videos of Miriam:



She freaks out whenever I get out the video camera. She wants to hold it and do it herself. Why was I surprised I couldn't get the video I wanted today? It has been frustrating lately. As you know, I love taking pictures and video of my cute family. Hopefully Miriam will understand soon that she just has to smile and be cute!

New Things

Yesterday I wanted to experiment with Miriam's hair.
So, I decided to try out a little braid.
I think it turned out so cute.
I topped it off with a new bow.

I think summer if finally coming.
We are trying to hold out on the A/C.
Miriam got to wear her new summer pajamas tonight.
No more footie pajamas here.


Doesn't she look so grown up sitting by her daddy?

Movie time

Miriam loves watching her movies from the library

Trying to put it in the DVD player all by herself
(Don't worry library workers, I put the camera down and helped her)

On tip-toe looking for the remote.
