Concluding February

To pick up where I left off in February, Mya is demonstrating her daredevil tendencies more and more lately.  I can't really trust to turn my back for an instant because I keep catching her climbing things or standing on things.  She likes to sit by herself in her rocking chair and will often go to her room, shutting the door behind her and spend some quality alone time rocking in her chair.  However, I have gone in on numerous occasions to find her standing on the chair- without holding onto anything- and swaying almost like she's surfing.  She knows she's busted when I catch her and definitely pouts and gives me the eye when I take her off the chair. 

She also likes to do flips and rough-house with daddy.  She will do this over and over again; I just caught them at the tail end of their routine:

Mya loves dancing!  We have lots of dance parties during the day with Pandora.  Usually we listen the the Kid's Worship channel, or Disney, or something like Monsters of Men- anything we can find upbeat and she goes nuts:  running around arms flailing, stomping her feet, and she loves when I pick her up and dance with her flying through the air.  We will be out in public and if she hears a song she likes, she will stop and just start dancing :)

She has been insisting on eating with a utensil now- no matter how messy! Yogurt is still one of her all-time favorites she won't ever turn down.  I have to say, I really love this bib!

Here is Mya with her best friend, Kinsey.  I met her mom about a year ago at a children's shop and,  through casual conversation, discovered our daughters were born just a few days apart at the same hospital.  We started getting the girls together occasionally and have all really become great friends. It has been so fun to see the two of them growing up at the same time and watch their unique qualities emerge.  Kinsey is so sweet and gentle- much more cautious and quieter than Mya.  I think they compliment each other well and I am so happy Mya has such a great friend already.

 Here (below) is Mya with her first friend, Audriana.  Her mom was the excellent child care provider who watched Mya from three months to about one year old and her daughter was such a sweet friend to her as well. She is about nine months older than Mya.

Alright, time to wrap up February even though I'm leaving  things out... I need to get on to current times though so it will have to do.
