Mira is crawling! As of about two days ago Mira started crawling. She really got moving yesterday when I put my computer on the floor to do a video chat. She thought that was great and made a bee line for the computer. Her movement is not fast yet as she moves her hands then moves onto her toes (like a bear crawl) and on to her knees then shifts forward then starts ago. But she can get everywhere on the same level.
She had her 6 month check up last Friday and I have been meaning to post that info. I think she was 16 lb 10 oz and 25 inches long. I usually remember these things but we talked about a lot at that appointment and it has slipped my mind. She is doing great. The dr was impressed with how well she sits and how strong she is. She loves to bounce in her jumperoo and move on the floor. She gets lots of exercise.
Tonight we went to the pool and put Mira under water for the first time. She did ok with the first time under but didn't really care for the second time. She didn't cry but you could tell she didn't like it.
This morning we were so blessed to be able to visit Kim, Ryan, Ellianna and their newest addition, Faith Lily at the hospital. She was born at 9:33 am weighing 7 lb 10 oz. She and Kim are both doing very well. We arrived at 10 am and got in to see them around 11:30. Joshua did great waiting and was interested in the baby. I'll put some photos up soon. We are planning to go back to the hospital tomorrow or Sunday.

Rocky, Rocky
Mira is getting on all fours and rocking! It won't be long before she is all over the place. She already rolls around to get to things she is not supposed to, namely Joshua's toys. She especially likes his duplo blocks. We'll have to get out the quattros for her to play with.
So, Friday Aunt Carie came out and went swimming with us. The kids loved that. So did we! Saturday, Theresa and Richard, cousins on my dad's side, were in town visiting and came out our way. We had a wonderful lunch, ice cream and dinner with them. It is moments like those that I wish we were a hop, skip and a jump from all of our family. Sunday we went to the Farm Fair with Richard (a coworker of Jason's) and his girlfriend Lacey. It was a great time. Josh picked up turtles, petted ducklings, piglets and goats. Once he got started touching the animals he loved it! There was a moon bounce, pig racing, tractor pull and fair food. We stopped for ice cream afterwards and one of our favorite ice cream spots.
Monday, we had an easy day at home and then went to the pool in the afternoon. Joshua was back to hanging on to the side of the pool again. Guess we have to go every day!
Tuesday was errand day and we got Joshie's hair cut. We also took his book lists in for the summer reading program.
Joshua is surprising us with the things that come out of his mouth. Like the other day he told us that he was going to have a baby come out of this belly and that he was going to put milk in his breasts so that he could feed it. He figured all of this out on his own. I love how he puts things together. I guess we need to talk about who can have and feed babies! His lego creations are getting better every day, too. It is hard to remember sometimes that he is only 2 and 9 mos!
