such a big girl!

well, it didn't take her long to learn how to climb! she can get up AND down from this chair all by herself! (there's a foot stool she uses in front of the chair). once she's up there, she does her little grunt/point thing to her basket of books on the floor. we're gonna have to teach her to put the books on the chair first, then get up there! i just can't believe how big she's getting!

mothers' day out

here she is, proudly pointing out her 'report card' from her first day at mom's day out.
it's at a church just a few minutes from our house and the workers in her class are super!
they even got her down for a nap! i was very shocked! i'm choosing to only leave her for 3 hours, but she's allowed to stay for 5; that just seems like too much right now. she did just fine when i left and was obviously excited to see me when i walked over to her 'crib.' she said MAMMA pretty loud from behind her paci-so i scooped her up real quick before the other kiddos woke up. i'm SO thankful of how well she does when i leave her, and SO floored at how fast 3 hours goes by! :)

feeding the ducks...

not sure why this pix went up to the top, but...speaking of the almost-scary-intimidating swan...we were getting the kids back into the car, etc and all of a sudden, scary mister swan is right there behind the car! he walked all the way over from the water to follow us. must have been reeeeal hungry. we hurried and put the kids in and got the heck outta dodge, hahahaha! honestly, this picture doesn't do his size justice!

here are ty and myah again. we went to feed the DUCKS, but ended up feeding most of the bread to the hissing geese! i think myah held the same piece of bread the whole time! she loves ducks, but must have been a little overwhelmed, cuz she didn't really do much but hold out her hand and just watch. it's hard to tell in the picture on the right, but this HUGE ole swan came up and i swear he towered over myah and probably outweighed her by thirty pounds. he was actually pretty intimidating!!!

hangin with ty

this is ty. he lives two doors down and he and myah are pals. i think they were bored listening to us adults talk, so they just sat and pulled grass.

i take that back...

well, shall i say she was glued to the video IN THE STORE...but not so interesting to her once we got home. hmmm, oh well. as long as they keep her attention in the car!

shoppin for some videos

we will be travelling to OK a few times this month, so we cashed in on some gift cards and bought a portable DVD player-hopin to ease the not-so-fun rides to and fro...this is myah and daddy picking out some veggie tales videos; by the way, once we got home and watched them-we decided she wasn't quite old enuf to enjoy em, but kevin and i sure do!

on the border

sure, myah-you want mexican food for breakfast? little sweet thing, you can have anything you want for breakfast. not really. but she was having so much fun w/ her paci plugged in and her quickly shrinking balloon the other day. we're teaching her early that mexican food is yummy! so far her fave at any mexican restaurant is tortillas! altho the spanish rice comes in at a close second. funny girl!

the millers come to visit

even though emily is 4, she still was patient with myah and they played well together. baby leslie just laid around and enjoyed the squeals and laughter from the older girls.

playin on mom and dad's bed

gonna miss this...

since myah is approaching 18 months old, we've decided it's probably time to give up the nightly bottle. this is such a special time. after her bath/teeth-brushing/jammies/prayer, kevin and i take turns on who actually gives her the bottle and rocks her to sleep. this is one of my last nites as we only have a few bottle liners left....our baby is growing up! boo-hoo!
