A month of many firsts

There are many things that Mira has done for the first time in the recent weeks! She has started to eat some solid food; mainly rice cereal, but she has also tried avocado and bananas. She met two buddies: Milo came down from Portland with his parents Faryn and Eli, and Calvin came for a visit from SF with his parents Dylan and Thanya! She has started to enjoy her doorway Johnny Jump Up now that she likes to move her legs so much, and she has discovered that her feet are fun to grab while she's laying on her back. Last weekend was her first Halloween, and she rocked her Tiger costume despite not getting any candy for it!
I hope to get some new videos up here soon, but in the meantime we hope you enjoy these recent pictures...

Mira's on a "roll"

At the beginning of this month Mira finally met her Aunt Clara who visited us all the way from Shanghai! We also went to San Francisco to watch a Badger Football game with some good WI friends at the house of our newlywed friends Alex and Jess Queen. Steve, Danielle, and Ben drove in from Sacramento, while Pete, Gwyn, and 8 m.o. Finn drove up from LA. These days Mira spends time playing on her belly (getting "tummy time"), and is very adept at rolling over from her back onto her tummy. She even laughs! Check out these videos and pictures of Mira:

Tummy time. Mira enjoys checking out the textures on her activity mat (a wonderful gift from Steve, Danielle, and Ben!!).
