Can't fence me in!

Myla sends love and best wishes this new year to all who enjoy her blog, especially her family and framily. She is a climber these days! In your arms, along the furniture and even using the walls to stand up. As you can see by the picture, she loves exploring new things or familiar things in a new way. We have to enlist the help of baby blockades to keep her in one area and not in the dog's water bowl. Myla gets a kick out of splashing in water.... Because she's moving so much she's burning more calories so we are feeding her more diverse foods that she can gnaw on with her 4 little teeth. That's right. She has two teeth on top poking through now, and more hair than dad, sadly that's not saying much.

Myla loves to be around the cat and cat doesn't seem to mind because she can outrun the baby. But that's okay, Myla gets a kick out of her anyway. She's such a happy little girl, we couldn't have imagined her personality being so easy going. To sum up, you could say we love our baby TONS!!

Her parents are okay too. Kara is fighting off the pneumonia in her lung very well with antibiotics. Yeah, go figure. Not even Kara thought she was that sick and it's bacterial so Myla is fine. She probably has a stronger immune system than we do anyway. Nothing has changed too much around here other than trying to multi-task more but that's why we got a Roomba (that and it was a hot deal). Just set it in one room and let it work. It's the one vacuum so far that Myla isn't afraid of. I don't know why but she has a hard time when we run the upright, even in mom's arms. She'll grow out of it I'm sure. Either that or she'll be afraid of maids her whole life.....

Thanks for reading. ;o)

Loving the pictures and reading Mylas escapades. She reminds me of Johnny when he was little, always happy and moving, discovering. I talked to another Myla the other day she said her name also means loveable. So Kara, you picked the right name for her. Myla the Merciful and Loveable. take care and enjoy your little miracle..Grandmother & Grandfather in Omaha
