Hello there, Polar Bear!

It's just cold enough for this sweet little pink jacket! What a day for Myla! Her OT/PT came to see her this morning and Dad bragged about all the wonderful things that she was doing and saying, so much so that Myla had to show off too. She pulled herself up from Dad's lap and grabbed her little giraffe toy by the ears and cruised all the way around him on her own while singing and laughing and just having a good time. Then she fell on the second lap so Dad had to console for a bit. So her OT/PT thinks she is right where she should be for her adjusted age. We're going to work more on the crawling effort too. Myla went backwards for a few feet, not really what I had in mind, but a good start in the right...direction....?

Myla's Grammy and G-daddy and Aunt Becky were in town last weekend but she didn't get to see much of them due to a nasty stomach virus she got, I got, her Nonnie got, and her Mom got. She shared the love. It was kind of tough seeing her in pain and not able to eat or sleep well, we really wanted to do something to make it all better. But before that, Myla was working up to eating cheerios and crackers and drinking juice. She gets more fingers than cheerios but an A for effort. She is such a joy! Next week is her 1st Birthday party! She's already got a lot of presents from her Omaha relatives to open and enjoy where ever there's room for them, somewhere. We really do appreciate all the things that everyone has done for Myla and helping make life easier for us when Myla came in to the world and we hope you all will enjoy her pictures and stories for years to come!

Oooh, I just want to squeeze her cheeks! Sounds like you're house is going to be changing really son here, with Myla into everything, as it should be! :0) Sorry you all got the stomache bug, that's no fun at all. It's hard to believe she's almost a year! Happy Birthday Myla! Every time Grace sees her picture, she says "Myla, Myla, Myla" Without prompting. Miss ya, love ya,
K
