Hello everyone! Wow, longest we've ever gone between posts...oops! Lots has been going on, so lots to tell you about (and lots that kept me away from writing!!). For starters I have been taking a course once a week and have had homework to work on, and have picked up a website to design as well - so that's most of my free time right now! But that's all necessary stuff...anyhow to the fun stuff, the cute little girls!

Naomi has finally started walking. At about 21.5 months she confidently began to toddle around our living room. Started with a few steps to a very proud mom, dad or aunty, but now we're moving along to running and starting to figure out jumping (versus just bending and straightening her legs, her feet will JUST leave the floor). Dancing is also one of her favorite things to do as well, as there is almost always music on in our house. Making her own music with her many "drums" (our many plastic containers) and her "drumsticks" (her blocks) is always fun too.

Her vocabulary is absolutely astounding too. She can say just about anything you ask her too (well, as long as it's not a really long word, and only one word at a time generally) and often will learn words only having heard them once. Her favorite thing to do with her many books is to point to things and either have mommy say what they are or say what they are (with pretty good accuracy!) herself. She's even starting to get some letters and a couple of numbers right! Colours are work in progress, blue and yellow, and sometimes green, are usually accurate, but other than that she's not sure what colours are...we'll get there! Names, though, that's something she's great at! Love's to look at pictures on the computer and point out who everyone is.

Miriam is learing all sorts of things! She's started solids and is having a great time with that. She will eat whatever we give her with very little complaint. Almost looks like she's trying to show up her sister! Has lunch and dinner every day with us and sometimes breakfast too, often breakfast is just some cheerios to munch on while mommy and Naomi eat, but she loves it.

Miriam is also getting mobile too. She is rolling with confidence to get her wherever she wants now. She is constantly rolling to (and over) many toys to play away. She's quite happy to be on her tummy and play with toys and recently has even started to push herself backwards (much to her dismay) while trying to get toys that are in front of her. All very cute! And to top it off, her hair is finally starting to look like it's growing! What a sweety.
