Miranda May

I thought I'd post a little about Miranda since I haven't done so for awhile and she is changing so fast! She is almost 20 months old. I can't believe how fast time goes sometimes. Miranda knows how to get what she wants. She is a screamer. She often lets out a piercing scream if someone does something that she doesn't like or takes something away from her. It's very effective - especially in sacrament meeting. She loves routine and she loves her family. She doesn't like us to be apart. Her favorite spot is snuggling between me and Leonard in bed. She usually does this in the morning before we get out of bed. She won't sleep there, but she loves to snuggle there. She is a good sleeper. She goes to bed around 8:00 and wakes up about 8:00 in the morning. She is starting to talk and knows quite a few words. Some of them are:

Mo - drink or milk

Tuk - stuck

mine - obviously "mine"!

Na Na - her pacifier, which it's obvious to everyone that she LOVES her pacifier - this also sometimes means banana.

Ow - could mean "down" or "out" depending on where she is at

Dada - dad

da da - said shorter and quicker then the above one means Kaydra

byebye - usually done with flair with a kiss blown your way!

She has others but these are the ones that come to mind. She is one of those kids that is either happy or mad. There isn't really an in between kinda kid. She still has really long eyelashes but her hair has gotten much lighter. She loves dogs and cats and she is starting to show her maternal side by "tucking in" dolls and stuffed animals to go to sleep. She is particular about how the blankets are spread out and she gets frustrated if she can't spread them out on the floor like she wants to. She is a joy to have around. She brings laughter to our home. We feel blessed to have her here!
