New Milestones

Miriam is always reaching for new heights of Independence. She wants to walk everywhere by herself and on and on. This week when Eric and I went out for our weekly lunch date we ordered from the kids menu for the first time. We got her a grilled cheese sandwich dunker w/fries. They didn't bring the ranch to dunk in thinking she was too little, but she loves dunking and copying the big people. As soon as they brought she immediately dunked the sandwich in. That was the only time for the bread, but she enjoyed dipping the fries in it creating a white face. She even colored a tiny bit, she's just figuring out /getting interested in coloring (guess I doubly get to watch what writing utensils she has access too).

Our other milestone is this morning when Eric was holding her upside down he noticed a pearly bud on top. She's finally getting another tooth!! Yay! All my friends babies of similar age seem to have lots more teeth than her and I was getting worried. So tooth #3 is on its way.

Also this week on Tue Miriam had the first time experience of sharing her toys and she wasn't thrilled. Last minute we babysat her cousin Myles while his mom and brother went to the Dr and dentist. Myles is only 11 months older than Miriam so he still got along with her toys. The biggest problem is they followed around after each other and was extremely interested in whatever the other was doing. I would try and distract Miriam so he could play with whatever and within a minute he was over wanting to be involved. I'm not sure what I'll do when her brother is born!
