Miss Independent

One little monkey jumping on the bed...

Mya likes to dress herself, no matter how long it takes! Notice her sleeve is on her foot.

Mya likes to shampoo her hair and create her very own mohawks!

Mya has turned yet another month older, and once again we marvel at how time really does fly! It seems like every day Mya has learned something new (both good and evil). It is such a joy to watch our little darlin grow and change. What a special gift we have been given!!

Late again!!

Our little Mya turned 25 months on the 19th, and once again, I missed posting it. She has really been enjoying being two years old and boy does it show! She is a singing, dancing fool who is always up for a good time. Her favorite past time is copying anything and everything that her eight year old brother does, not excluding daredevil stunts of the furniture. Life around her is never boring, which is just the way we like it! Thanks for bringing a little more laughter into our lives little miss!!

Our Big Birthday Girl!

So, this is what a two year old looks like. I suppose it could be much worse! Mya enjoys "dressing up" in other family members clothes, shoes, accessories, etc. This is a piece from her Winter line. The shirt with no pants look really completes the outfit!

Mya loves Elmo and to have him on her birthday cake was a real treat for her! She had at least three helpings of ice cream. That's my girl!

Mya received lots of wonderful presents. It is really fun to play with her now because she is into dolls, "cooking", puzzles, and many other things that mommy likes to play with. Mya is turning into a little girl right before our very eyes. We feel so blessed to have such a delightful daughter in our lives and thank God for helping us to find each other!

23 months old!

Poor Mya missed Halloween (again) due to a nasty ear infection, but at least we had a good time picking out pumpkins and getting lost in the corn maze.

Mya takes great pride in pulling out her hair pretties. Apparently, she prefers the "wild" look! I remember when she was a baby and I couldn't wait to put her hair in a pony tail. Now that it is finally long enough, the little stinker won't leave them in!

Happy 23 months little miss- its hard to believe your almost 2!!

22 months!

Our little girl is growing up so fast! We have finally come to accept that she is no longer our little baby. She is a full blown toddler- complete with all the lovely behaviors of a 2 year old! Her new favorite words are "mine" and "don't". She also loves to hear herself scream and practices that skill on a daily basis. Mya can indeed be a challenge at times, but she can also be sweet and kind. She even asks me if I'm ok ( repeatedly) when I cough. Life would be a complete bore without her!

21 months and counting!

Mya got to go on her first camping trip this past month. She had a great time exploring around the campground and the lake, but didn't enjoy sleeping in the pop-up tent so much. I'm sure our fellow campers didn't enjoy it so much either!! Needless to say, Mya and I cut our trip a little short and let the boys stay to fish. Cade is quite the little fisherman! Maybe by next summer, Mya will be more into sleeping in the great outdoors.

Happy 21st month birthday Mya!
