Baby update!

This has been a long time coming. So many things have happened in the past month. First Miranda now is starting to like preschool. She loves to watch the other little ones. If any one crawls or walks close to her she pulls on them hair or clothes. We are working on that. She still loves to pull on Tigger. I took off his collar today since she uses that as a handle. She is still trying to pull herself up on other things but continues to use mom or dad as standing tools.

Please clap for Miranda she has started to crawl. She started yesterday so now everything on the floor now belongs to her in her mind. So my knitting, the cat, and our Gamecube controllers must be kept out of sight or they suffer the wrath of Miranda. This entails being shoved into her mouth and getting drooled on. She is very happy now that she can come and get us if we are not near her. We also have to watch the cat food she went after it yesterday but I got to it first. So Tigger may have to start eating downstairs.

Miranda still is having problems sleeping but we are getting used to it and trying new things. It helps if she only has two naps and if she eats solids twice a day. She needs at least one nap to be over an hour. She also has started to hate being in her crib and if her nap is only 30 minutes or so that is not enough and she fights sleep for another few hours.

We have also found that she likes avocados and pears. She has had avocado a lot lately and is not liking them as much. She was chewing on some pear pieces in a mesh feeder yesterday and was happy. The solids seem to help her sleep more at night.
