Today we were getting Miriam dressed for church, and she was still carrying around a measuring cup (she will pick up random things and hold on to it for quite some time). Jessica held up two dresses, "Okay Miriam, which one do you want to wear today?" Of course it is a question asked without expecting a response, but just to make it easier I added, "Just point your measuring cup to the dress you want to wear." and Miriam paused a moment while looking at them, then very obviously pointed the cup to the center of one dress! While it is hard to believe she was able to understand everything I said, it is equally hard to believe she would point the cup to a dress as obviously as she did after the question... So we both had a good laugh over that.

Another thing that has been a pretty nice development is that she is now tall enough that while walking, she can reach my fingers with me having to hunch over all the time (sometimes yes, but not the whole time).
