My little Toddler!

Hi..yes, everytime I post I have to say - it has been such a long time! Sorry everyone that I am not a religious blog poster :) OH well - even though it is much to my Mom's despair.

Mya is getting to be such a BIG girl! and I mean really BIG. haha. she is sooo heavy to carry around now! - even Eddy has decided that we are entering into the phase that Mya will have to be forced to enjoy riding on his shoulders! luckily she does love it! We have this joke going on that she is really dense like lead or cake. Actually it's not a joke at all-she really is! I always tell people..she doesnt look big but carry her around for ten minutes and you will know exactly what Im talking about. I think she gets it from me, I have always thought I am dense. I may not look big..but Im heavy. haha. I like it - I don't want her to be a pipsqueak! She's got the cutest little buddha belly. Oh, and that is our new game at the moment - pointing and patting that lil' big tummy! It is so cute! I am also trying to get her to do head, shoulders, knees and toes. She is just watching me do it for the time being, but she is soaking it in..and she has the head part down! But I will tell you what two body parts she loves loves the most..1) BELLY button 2) NOSE...actually, finger UP the nose (yes, all you who say she is going to grow out of it, or it's just a phase..I don't believe you..because it has become a COMFORT! much like sucking her thumb-which would be wayyy cuter). I love that she is learning to notice things on herself..and interacting with me when we sing songs! She is learning so much - and she takes notice of EVERYthing. YIKES.

She has been walking for about a month now..but she still tends to hold onto the walls and the couches over just walking around..even though she can get anywhere without holding on. I was singing in church yesterday, so I had the BEST view of watching everything she was doing during worship! It was so cute...and I was so happy that she was so confident walking up to everyone and holding onto people's knees and smiling at them - it just shows how much she has grown up, especially in the last couple of months and maybe, just maybe she is growing out of that clinging to Mommy and Daddy stage!!! eek. As much as I love that she wants us...I want her to have independance, of course! Mac (her cousin) was holding her hand and making sure she was doing what she was supposed to be doing! it was so cute..and it is actually amazing to see her interact with him, and just watch him with adoring eyes! They are the perfect age apart..but Mya is still not so sure about some things Mac does! haha. I hope they are going to be like brother and sister - she's gonna need a big brother!

Here is a picture of Mya walking around with her faaaavorite walker...she has THE most fun with this thing these days...she loves it..and practically RUNS with it! and runs into EVERYTHING (on purpose) and the whole time just laughs and laughs - so this is her doing two of her favorite things...be naked and run around with her walker!
