Cutie girl

Miri is almost 9 months old now. She has started waving and has gotten even more personable. She still isn't crawling, but she really loves to stand and can take a few supported steps if she is in the mood. She has started to eating three solid meals a day and sleeping longer and longer stretches at night; she made it 11 hours last night! She also has started getting opinionated (or more opinionated) about things. I gave her a lovey (she has several) the other night, and it was not her favorite one. She picked it up, looked at it for a second, then threw it against the wall of the crib and screamed. She stopped screaming, stuck her thumb in her mouth, and went right to sleep after that.
Miri has started enjoying toys a lot more, especially stuffed animals. She loves balls and anything that is fun to chew on. Still no teeth though. She still loves peaches best, but likes everything I try to feed her.

She loves playing with Reagan and Ike (the two babies that I babysit during the week). They get along great, at least until she decides to pull Reagan's hair. She loves hair and jewelry of all kinds. Reagan loves Miri's hair bows and tries to steal them, then put them back on. Very cute!
