Steven and Chrystal Tandberg Family: Quick update on our girls

Quick update on our girls

Here is our sweet Lylah. She is such a happy baby. At 8 months she's not much of a mover. She is content to sit and play. She is just starting to scoot backwards on her belly.
This picture was taken on the UVA campus after a beautiful hike near Charlottesville on Steven's one day off after his last test and before beginning to study for the boards.

She really loves to eat! (As evidenced by her rolls and chubby cheeks) She loves her rice cereal and is starting to love green beans and carrots.

This was the first time I gave her applesauce. She made all sorts of funny faces. Now I mix it with her rice cereal and she likes it better.

Mariah has decided that she wants to be a Doctor like her Daddy. Almost every day she puts on her little backpack and gets on her tricycle and tells me that she is going to class with Daddy to be a Doctor. In this picture she was "being" a Doctor. Look what Steven has to look forward to as a Doctor, I must say that Mariah's idea of a Doctor is very attractive. :)

Mariah and Lylah got matching ladybug rainjackets for Easter. Mariah loves to wear hers and use her ladybuf umbrella. She had a blast this spring when we had a ton of rain, splashing in puddles and playing outside.

Mariah says the darndest things...

Mariah certainly has interesting designations for things. Today she asked me for clean milk. I was getting Lylah some of her rice milk and evidently Maraih didn't want it. She pointed to the regular 1% milk and said that was clean milk. I asked her why it was clean, she told me, "because I said it was!" I really don't know where she got that!

At dinner Mariah told me she wanted dry water. I asked her what dry water was (after I could stop chuckling behind my hands) and she said water that came from our glass pitcher was dry water. I never quite figured out why that was dry water, although we do usually put ice cubes in it when we use the pitcher. hmmm... dry water...

The other day Mariah asked me for kid beans. At first I thought she wanted green beans because she loves them and could eat a whole can by herself. But she didn't want those. I eventually found out that she wanted kidney beans. Lylah likes to eat kidney beans, straight from the can and Mariah was jealous and wanted some.

We use sliced cheese for grilled cheese sandwiches, now Mariah calls that cheese "girl cheese."

One of my favorite things Mariah said was about a year ago. She came to me with a very concerned look on her face, "Mommy why doesn't the table have clothes on?" I had taken the tablecloth off and hadn't put another one on yet and she was worried about it.

When Lylah was a couple months old she got a hold of Mariah's hand and tried to put it in her mouth. Mariah laughed and said, "Mommy, Lylah is trying to eat the elbows on my hand!" Now if that is not a good way to descibe knuckles, I don't know what is!

Steven was trying to help Mariah learn how to catch the ball. He would throw the ball and she would look at him and miss it. He told her to keep her eye on the ball. She gave Steven a funny look and literally put her eye on the ball. Needless to say, we both started laughing.

We went hiking last week on Steven's day off. We were just getting going up a hill into the trees when Mariah turned to Steven and said, "Daddy I want the car." I didn't realize we were raising such a city girl. Looks like we need to get back out west soon!
