Happy almost weekend! (Quick update & new pics)

This is just a quick update, and an excuse to share some new pictures. :) Miriam is as fun as always. We are all still adjusting to being back in an early schedule, and Miriam has been having some trouble sleeping lately.  However, when she's busy during the day she normally isn't too grumpy, even if she didn't sleep well.  She's been doing some new activities lately....coloring (really just banging crayons up and down on paper), spinning around in circles (mostly until she gets dizzy and falls over) and "jumping" (crouching down and springing up with her hands in the air).  When she's jumping, her feet barely get off the ground (usually only one at a time, and then only a centimeter), but it is pretty adorable when she tries!  She also has been showing more of her daredevil side lately, and will step off or roll off the couch into Mario's arms.  She thinks it is pretty hilarious and always signs "more" while giggling hysterically. 

Here are some recent pictures of her.  In the last couple weekends we went to the fair and the zoo, so most of the pictures are from those places.
