18 Months Old!


Today our little lady turns one and a half!!  Boy, oh, boy!  Mya continues to amaze us each and every day and we think we have a keeper!
In case you're interested here are some things our little girl is up to...

Words she says:  EVERYTHING!  This girl copies everything we say and literally doesn't stop talking.  She is very good at saying names of family members, animals, objects, etc.  She's been saying a lot of two word phrases, as well.

Favorite foods:  Fruit, mac and cheese, hot dogs, fries, chicken nuggets, corn on the cob, fruit snacks, grilled cheese sandwiches.

What she knows:  Mya can identify about 10 animal sounds/actions.  She can also identify most of her body parts and will point to other people's when asked.  She is really good at identifying and pointing to objects in books when asked.  She is a pro at using eating utensils and brushing her teeth.  She understands everything we say.  For example, I ask her if she wants me to sing her a song and she'll make a spider with her hands (for The Itsy Bitsy Spider) or say EIEIEIEI (for Old McDonald).  Mya also is able to walk down stairs unassisted.  And when I mean unassisted, I mean she will not let you help her.  

Favorite things: Her electric toothbrush, getting ready in the morning with Momma (putting on lotion), cats, reading books, her cousin Nadya, singing along with Momma, playing with dolls, closing doors, swinging, dancing and giving hugs and kisses.

And just for a little humor, trying to get a good picture of Mya not taking off the sticker on her onesie was a challenge.  The above picture was taken after the first dozen attempts.  The below picture was taken first...can you tell why I tried for a better one later???
