Happy Sunday

Today our lunch conversation went a bit like this: Julie: "Mya, say okay Mom." Mya: "No Mom." It may be the first time I hear "no Mom," but I'm pretty sure it won't be the last. Rob was hiding his laughter the whole time! I'm sure he'll get his little nugget of defiance soon enough. Such a stinker! But a sweet little one at that. She's giving friends a family kisses and hugs lately, it's a good thing she's so cute to cover some of the spice!

Mya has started to notice letters in signs and other things, and when she sees them, she points and starts to sing her rendition of the alphabet song. She' pretty good at identifying a few specific letters, usually "y." She only did part of it here, but you get the idea! I also got a second take of Heads & Shoulders, Knees & Toes, it's just so darn cute! I got more help than I realized... it took me about 15 more minutes than normal to vacuume the living room. Such a helper!

Can't ever be too comfortable, right???

Our Sweet little Mya has learned Head & Shoulders, Knees & Toes at daycare, she's pretty good! Sorry about the lousy camera shots... I was too interested in what she was doing!

A Wonderful Weekend

We had a great weekend- sunshine and family time! Since it was so beautiful, we decided to go to the zoo... Mya ha a blast! She was so sweet looking at all of the animals, we all had a great time watching her!

Fun with an 18 month old... The past four days have been wonderful. Thanks to President's day and a vacation day, Mya & I have been able to hang out a lot together just at home. Unfortunately Rob has had to work both days, but I needed some re-group time. We've been taking Mya swimming once a week (she's been really afraid of water), and she's gotten much more comfortable in the pool, we'll have to post pictures of her swimming in one of our next posts. We went for a run yesterday and visited some friends as well. It's been great to catch up on life! Rob & I have decided to train for another half marathon. We've been doing well to get started, and are planning to run the St. Patrick's Day dash in March. The Rock-N-Roll 1/2 marathon that we're going to run is in June and then in August we're planning to do the Run For Children's. We'll be raising money for that one, and Mya will be joining us in the stroller. We'll be donating our funds to the Seattle Children's heart center. We just had Mya's 18 month pictures taken by our friend, Brea go to http://www.cyephotography.com/blog to check them out. She's a great photographer, I'd definitely recommend her if you're in need!

We made pancakes together for dinner one night.

Our little sweet pea is a master at using utensils, her favorite breakfast now is cheerio's with milk. Such a big girl!

Since blogger is having issues with videos, I've posted the next few to youtube, hopefully that'll fix the problem.

Happy Valentines Day From our Family to Yours!

Superbowl Fun!

We had a great time celebrating the game day with 2 other families. We hosted- Six adults and five kids total...it was fun and crazy time! Three of the five kids are toddlers... amazing how busy they all are! They got to ride bikes in the garage and eat a lot of junk food, the Dads might have been able to watch the game while the Moms were able to play a board game.

It's so wonderful to have a Seahawks picture without a feeding tube in Mya's nose!

Aunt Michelle, don't worry about getting Mya a drum, this watering can works just fine using her kitchen utensils!

STOP GROWING!!! Our little sweet pea is getting to be such a big girl! She has been wiping up her spills lately, such a good helper!
