Last year, we bought a few costumes for Emily on after-Halloween clearance. Lately, her favorite thing to do is to play "dress up". Her favorite is this pirate princess costume. We're pretty sure that she's going to want to wear it for Halloween this year. She looks really cute for only $3!
Baby Miriam is so beautiful.
Lately, Emily has liked putting her hair in a pony tail (now that it's long enough). We liked this snapshot of her because it shows how nice and sweet she is.
Emily's other favorite things to do are 1. pretend she's an alligator, shark or lion, 2. dance, and 3 sing. This video really highlights all those things. We also got a little surprise out of Miriam at the end.
We got so excited that Miriam took a step at the end of the video, that we spent the next half hour helping her practice. Her record was THREE BIG STEPS. Hooray! She's practically walking now.
We have to tell you some funny stories about the girls:
A few days ago, we were all eating Froot Loops in the kitchen before rushing to drop Jeremy off at school. Emily was having trouble scooping them up into her spoon and, recognizing that we were in a hurry, she said nonchalantly, "C'mon, cereal. Get out of the bowl and into my spoon. I want to eat you." We all laughed and Jeremy still made it on time.
This morning, Emily walked in the room with a frown on her face and said, "I'm sad." We asked her why she felt sad. "Because I'm not happy," she said. We asked her what happened to make her feel sad. "B-cause, I'm an alligator but I want to be a lion." She sat down and didn't say anything else about it all morning.
Miriam can crawl about as fast as Emily can run, and she likes to follow her older sister around the house. Sometimes Emily gets annoyed, but mostly Emily gets a big kick out of having a little sister that admires her.
Miriam also has a fetish about chewing on shoes--especially Emily's pink sandals.If we ever catch Miriam chewing on anything that she's not allowed to then she snickers (yes, snickers) and crawls away as fast as she can so we don't take it away from her. It's so cute.

Rachel! I'd read this post a while back but never commented! Emily is so funny! and Miriam reminds me of Noah because when I ask him what's in his mouth I usually get this excited, devious-type look before he turns and runs away as fast as his little legs will take him :) But YES, they do get potty trained eventually. I agree it's probably one of those most challenging time for us- keep with it. I feel your pain Completely!!
