Just like the big kids

Mikaiah is nine months now, and very active! She is crawling everywhere, pulling up on things, and even letting go to stand by herself on occasion! Her favorite thing is to be in the middle of the action--right where Jakin and Anna are. (Except, of course, when Anna is dragging her by one leg--then she puts up a little protest and heads in a different direction.)

The girls cooking some lunch. Anna is very tolerant of her little helper. Jakin joined the cooking party about a second later. It intrigues me that we have a house full of toys, yet they all choose to play within 2 ft. of each other.


Jakin and Anna taught Mikaiah how to crawl through the tunnel. At one point, they stopped to have a picnic in the middle.
