11 months

Look at this crazy girl. Is it just me or did she fly through her babyhood?

Little Miss Miriam is walking! She realized a few days ago she could walk unassisted and since then she's been tottering all over the place.

Here are a few more things she enjoys.

Drawing. She gets very angry if you get in the way of her scribbling or try to switch her color of crayon. Look at that serious face


Swinging. Balls. Swinging with balls.
She really loves balls.
Eating. But watch out because she's dangerously generous. If she sees you watching her she will insist you take a bite of whatever she has at hand.
Why hello there. Half chewed apple?
No, really I insist.
Another big favorite she learned thanks to her brother, drinking bath water.
Climbing. She got herself up on this stroller. I've found her all kinds of perilously high places. The tops of stairs, up book cases, on the bed, up stacks of moving boxes. The child is fearless.
She's also an enthusiastic animal lover. On our daily walk she keeps a look out for any and all non-human creatures. She seems to get especially excited about dogs, exclaiming Dahc! Dahc! and signing dog emphatically.

Only one more month til she turns one. I'm trying to decide if she or my birthday celebration is going to get the nudge. I really don't think it's fair for either of us to share.

Cutie. Everyone loves a party. (Plus, she'll never know if you move her party to another day. ;-)

You're funny! And she really has grown fast! She's hit a lot of her firsts before mine who isn't quite walking yet. Miriam is definitely advanced! You must be supermom! And hey, do your birthday, she won't remember hers ;-), you do yours and just write a journal about all the fun things you did for hers, that you didn't really do, but they will become her memories later...

You really could tell her that her birthday is a couple days later. When she finally finds out her whole life is partly a lie it will be catastrophic but until then...birthday bliss
