My favorite child (now that she doesn't hate me)

Here is my favorite child on Tongariki (now that she doesn't hate me), my little ... niece? Miriam.

She's my tawi Nerry's daughter, maybe sixteen months old, something like that? When I first got to Tongariki, the kid really didn't like me--she'd cry if I tried to pick her up or if she was away from her mom--but she's used to me now. Really sweet baby--likes to get tossed into the air and to walk around carrying my nalgenes.
