Well, Miriam is now one year old! She has grown so much just in the past few weeks. Besides learning to crawl, she is working on pulling up to stand. She is all over the house now checking our baby proofing skills. The other day, I found her at the gate to the stairs shaking it for all she was worth. Her favorite game besides chewing on the glass! coffee table is chasing the poor cats.
She has great fine motor skills and has started staking two blocks on top of each other. She still wants me to feed her as she doesn't put most things in her mouth... which I'll not complain about!

Yup, if finally happened. Miriam figured out how to get those legs to go forward! She's been crawling backward for a month or so now and also doing this "sit up, lean forward, sit back up, lean forward again" thing to get around. However yesterday she learned how to truly crawl! I saw her move a few inches forward in the afternoon but couldn't get her to do it again... then Daddy came home. Miriam crawled about four feet across the floor to get to her Daddy. So sweet!
