It's coming!

This adorable little girl is nearly a year old! She just barely got her first tooth, but she won't let me get any pictures of it. :D I haven't posted in ages, but here are some of my favorite pictures of the last little while.

Such a silly baby!


Someone found a green peanut M&M on the floor! We had spilled some and scoured the floor looking for M&Ms that were hiding. We were sure we had them all, but of course Mariah found the one we missed! Luckily our baby seemed to have no reaction to the peanut, other than being angry when we pried it out of her mouth.


Standing in her toy-bin, 'cause, why not?


We call this her "Squinty Face". We hadn't seen it in a while and we were afraid that it was gone, but here it is and we finally got a picture!


Crawling and smiling!



Reading her book. She absolutely adores turning the pages in books, and doesn't much care for us trying to read to her! We are working on that one. :D


She's all over standing up to things to play with them, which means that tabletops are no longer a safe place to put things.


Here she stood up and turned towards me, and it looked like she was tying to walk but got tripped up because she had crawled her feet out of her pajamas. I'm sure she'll be walking around long before we are ready for it!

I just love watching Mariah play. She always makes me smile, and is always learning new things. I adore being a mom and I'm glad that I have such a beautiful and silly little girl!
