Mya 18 Months

Today Mya is officially 18 months old, and seeming older and older each day! I love this stage. Mya is getting more curious and busy, but she's still really manageable and mellow. Here are a few random snapshots of Mya at a year and a half...

She loves brushing her teeth and stealing her toothbrush throughout the day to brush, brush, brush. 

 She looooooves to flip through books and babble to herself. Her favorite books are animal books because she does the little animal noises that she knows. 

We find Mya all over the house in the funniest reading positions. It's the cutest thing. I think she started doing it to mimic Bryn but now she does it even if Bryn's not home. 

Mya has wild, straight, blond hair that always cracks us up.

 Mya has a bit of a shoe fetish and her favorites are her gold boots and her mismatched high-heels. She loves to put on her puffy coat and boots throughout the day because she think it'll convince me to take her outside :)

 Fresh out of the bath and ready for bed

 She gets caught multiple times each day rummaging through the food cupboards. This time she hit the jackpot and found Bryn's old stash of Halloween candy.

She keeps Josh company while he studies

 Mya's first time with pig-tails :)

Mya loves to color and she scribbles on any paper she sees...as well as other surfaces around the house. 

 Mya is pretty shy and timid in public, but she is such a silly, giggly girl at home. One of the funniest things to her is doing somersaults with Bryn. She gets in this position, then we gently flip her legs over and she just laughs and laughs. 

 She's getting more and more curious and has figured out the magic of a stool

When Bryn doesn't want Mya to play with something she puts it up on the table or kitchen counter. That worked until about a week ago when Mya figured out how to climb onto the table and play with the "off-limit" toys. Oops.

Miss Mya, you are the sweetest little thing around and we sure love you!
