Papal Visit to NYC!
On Saturday, April 19, I had the opportunity to see Pope Benedict as he went from St. Patrick's Cathedral to the Youth Rally at St. Joseph's Seminary. Kate, Wendy and I made signs for him and wove them into the crowd-control grate. Mine said "Totus Tuus", Kate's said "Bene a Bono" (Benedict is Good) and Wendy's said "We love you, Holy Father" We were certain he saw our posters as he passed us by. So certain that the Holy Father STOPPED the parade, got out, and gave us his own blessing! We got a personal picture with him*!
John and I also had the privilege of attending Mass at Yankee Stadium. Here's a picture of us:
And a picture of the crowd. Note the Pope mobile in the lower center. The crowd was WILD and excited to have the chance to share a Mass with the Holy Father!!
Here is a video clip from Yankee Stadium. It's about 4 minutes long, but captures the excitement of the Holy Father's arrival into the stadium, and the outpouring of love and affection NYC gave to him!
*OK, so the "personal" picture of the Holy Father with Katie and I...sorry. It's a cardboard stand-up of the Pope. But I thought it was funny anyways!

April
We went to visit the Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in early April. Miriam was having a moment of clingy-ness and hunger.
Miriam in sunglasses. She put them on herself, but they only stayed on for all of 2 minutes. I had to force this picture. I'm hoping that she'll warm up to them by the time the weather actually warms up.
A picture with my mother:
Sign that spring is on the way, daffodils!

Catching up by the month, February!
Miriam's favorite toy is "BeBe"(Blanket Bear). She does everything with it. Here she is eating with BeBe, but being funny about wearing it...

Who does Miriam more closely resemble?
John and I found some of our baby pictures and we were amused at the resemblance Miriam has to both of us. Of course she's ours, but it's hard to tell which side she favors more. Here are two examples:
John at about a year:
Two recent pictures of Miriam:
Mary at about a year:

Amazing how genes work!

Playing around the house
I am new to online movie editing, so you'll have to forgive these because they are a bit choppy. For some reason eblogger isn't letting me upload individual pictures. When I go to add them, my only option is to add the entire photo library! But I'm sure you don't mind a live action video!
Those videos are also taken from my regular digital camera. I am thinking about investing in a real video camera- I must do some shopping around. I hope to have one by Christmas. But this is a good alternative, for short clips, right? :)
Miriam turns ONE tomorrow! She is constantly right on our heels as we go about the apartment. I don't think it will be long before she is walking because she is starting to cruise on furniture and push things forward. I can't get over it! To think that last year she was just a little 8lb. baby is just amazing to me! We've been through a lot this year! She's such a blessing and I'm happy to say: we've made it!
I will try to put pictures online by Sunday. We're having a little party for her over the weekend.

Buncha Pictures!
These pictures are in no particular order, they have been taken in the last month.
Titus and Miriam- Miriam is a week older, but Titus is crawling and has more teeth. They were fast friends.
Outside of the house in NH. We didn't take any pictures at the beach!
Katarina and Miriam (cousins), playing.
On the swing outside the NH house.
Miriam and Emilie (cousins) playing.
Miriam at Prescott Park in Portsmouth, NH
On the Lawn at Fordham University
Cute eating picture.
Paul and Miriam (cousins) playing in NC.
My latest favorite picture of Miriam.
I'll try not to let so much time pass between posts next time! I need to keep my camera handy!
Here are the latest stats...from today's 9 month check up. Miriam is 20 lbs heavy and 29 inches tall. She's clapping, shaking her head no, rolling over, almost crawling, standing, and she has her lower two front teeth! We think she's close to getting the top two soon.
She's also vocalizing a lot. She says many dipthongs-- "boy-o, boy-o, boy-o", "doe-y, doe-y, doe-y" "yabba-dabba", "Mama mama", "da da", "bedo bedo" to name most.
By leaps and bounds, she's changing! I will keep you updated as she grows.
