Pool Time!!!

It's been in the 90's for about 5 days and we've been regulars at the pool. Miranda is really taking to it, but still her favorite spot is standing in the water in the gaps in the pavement between the big pool and the small one. Just enough room for her "little" waterlogged diaper. She is also getting used to her floaty and her favorite games in that are "Ring around the Rosie" and fetch (where I throw her toys out in the water and then we go gather them up).

Miranda made up this sign and has been using it consistently (patting her head). I'm almost positive it means splash. Her other new signs are- fish, bird, baby, ball, hot, fire, airplane, water, milk, more, all done, please, shoes, and flower. And when I say "music" or she hears music she likes to bop around. It's been fun to see her personality come out more and more each day. She is still walking on her knees, but Dan's dad said he has an idea for how to get her to walk. When they come down for a visit this weekend I think he's going to connect tacks to her knees so every time she goes down on them she gets a little poke;o) Just kidding, but I'm sure she'll get lots of love and attention and hopefully some walking practice.

I don't know what's better the chocolate or the fake smile plastered on her face. I just couldn't get her to give me a real grin. My guess is she was thinking, "Put the camera down already and give me some more cookie."

(By the way, a BIG thanks to Rhonda for the new header!!!)

B-eautiful!
