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!

Happy "Gotcha Day!"

A year ago today, we met our beautiful little daughter for the very first time! I remember that day as if it was only yesterday. This morning, I sat Mya on our bed and let her watch the video of the moment we met. As always, she was completely enthralled by what she was watching. Somehow she knows what an important event it was, you can see it on her face. We gave her a little purse from Vietnam to commemorate the occasion, and she insisted on carrying it everywhere with her this morning. Always the "girlie girl," she adores her purses, shoes, jewelry, and nail polish so I knew the purse would be a big hit!
We love you My!!

Late! (again)

Totally enjoying her chocolate pudding!

I did it again! I totally missed posting on Mya's 20 month "birthday". Apparently I won't be winning the blogger of the year award after all!

It is so amazing to think that we have had our little ball of fire for almost a year now. On the one hand, it seems like just yesterday that we travelled to Vietnam to meet her, but on the other hand, it feels like she has always been with us. She is growing up so fast. I wish that I could stop time and keep her our little baby forever, but somehow I don't think she is going to go for that!

19 months!

We traveled to the Oregon Coast with some friends and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. Mya wasn't very excited about playing with (or touching) the sand, but after a while, I couldn't keep her out of it! She had a great time digging with her brother and was pretty good at throwing sand as well. It was really nice to get away from our home improvement projects and spend time relaxing with family and friends.

Happy 19 months My My!!

18 months!

Mya is such a hard subject to take a picture of. Most of the ones I have of her are a total blur. This little girl is always on the move! It seems that the only good picture I can get of her is when her cousin Brooke catches her. Thank you Brooke!! Now that we are all out for summer vacation, I have made it my mission to get some good pictures of our little miss before she grows up any faster.
Happy 18 months my sweet girl!!
