Miriam: Ahead of her game

Ever since Miriam was born she has been cruising through life wanting to see and do more. From Day one she could hold her head up. In the hospital when checking her and she was on her belly she looked like she was ready to crawl off. She has always tracked sound really well. I know now she definitely responds to her name but I'm not certain when exactly she started to.

This was taken at 3 days old and all I'm doing is holding her sides so she doesn't fall over! Just one example. Looking back it sure is hard to remember her that size! Also in the beginning she didn't like to be flat on her tummy, propped up on the nursing pillow was fine but otherwise no way! Well just a couple of months later when she learned to roll we couldn't keep her on her back! She would compulsively roll over every time we put her down. Sometimes she would then start to complain like how did I get here!

Here she is in May "reading", I have great hopes for her! Her book is her first book, one of black & white baby animals. This book is what truly showed us how well she could track I think the colors distracted her otherwise. I also have read to her since the womb, mostly Book of Mormon but also I'm working my way through the "Little House on the Prairie" books. We mostly read during nursing. Now she likes to 'see' mommy's books and play w/magazines ;)
