Mya at 13/14/15 Months. The time is flying by!

Mya is growing and changing every day. She is so busy and keeps us so busy that as you can see I have been lacking on blogging about her.My goal is to update once a week from now on, I have to keep up on all the new things she is doing and learning and it is all happening so fast!

Right now she weighs 19 pounds. We are in the process of trying to figure out the next car seat... It turns out to be a much harder decision than we thought. Of course while researching car seats I came across other info. that states keeping children rear facing for as long as possible is a much safer option and it made a pretty hard argument to ignore... I know Mya would LOVE to be facing forward, however, I think since she still fits in to her rear facing seat, that even after all of the researching, we have decided to leave things as is for a little while longer. The decisions and indecision of parenthood I guess.

Some of Mya's favorite words to say right now:
All Done
Please
Doggie
Caw, caw, caw - she does this to imitate the crows
mooooo - yep, just like a cow
mummy
daddy, which should be #1 b/c it is still her #1 FAVORITE word to say! :)
Where's daddy - Which I get to hear all day when daddy is not home, yes, ALL day...
kitty
that
this
outside - while bangging on the front door enthusiastically.
She also shakes her head no, gulp, I can see the "NO!" stage coming soon!

Her favorite video is Baby Signing Time, it's also the only one she has ever seen, but now she asks to watch it daily and she is doing most of the signs on it, while also dancing to the songs! She loves to sit in her bunny chair, that aunt Angela bought her for her 1st birthday, with a snack and drink and watch it before bedtime as well.






 Mya watching her video intently.










This morning while dressing her she shook her head "no" to the purple shirt AND the brown shirt, but then vigorously shook her head yes to the pink shirt. It doesn't quite match what she's wearing, but she is very happy to have it on. I can see that we are also getting close to the, "She dressed herself this morning" excuses when we drop her off at daycare! :)

Her favorite thing to do is be outside and now that she is running everywhere she loves to run up and down the bike path. When she was a baby and she was fussy, bringing her outside immediately made her calm. We spent many days walking around outside with her in the baby bjorn, while she either hung out or slept peacefully.   Even in the winter, paul would put her under his big puffy coat and walk with her so she could sleep.  Now she loves to expend energy, point at the birds while making the cutest surprised/excited face.




Sometimes we visit with Bailey, our friend's dog next door.  Don't worry he loves kids, and not for lunch!
We go outside at least once a day, but usually two to three times!  Did I mention that she LOVES to be outside??!!  :)

She also loves to swing as you can see from the pictures.  A few weekends ago we packed up the bikes, rode over to the park, and spent a longgggg time swinging on the swings.  Mya had a ball and thought it was the best thing ever! 

This is the face she makes whenever she really likes something, is pleasantly surprised by something, or is excited about something.  (Birds making noises, doggies, kitty, food, songs, going outside, etc. etc.)

She is loving that swing right now!

She also loved swinging with Mommy and Daddy!
