Playing with food

It was another glorious day here in Denver - 67 degrees says the car. And it was MLK day and somehow or another, I got the day off. Beautiful day, day with my girl, free day at the zoo - was my thought. And EVERYONE else's thought in the city limits of Denver too. When we went, there were people parked on sidewalk there were so many people. So, Aunt Aimee, Myla and I went to a local mall and played on the food. Not quite the sunshine and animals, but Myla seemed to enjoy it. After she was done watching all the other kids run around. It took a few minutes, but she did start moving and exploring things. She sat on an egg, sausage, waffles and a cereal bowl. She wouldn't touch the bacon and shredded wheat cereal though. Maybe she doesn't like brown...

We took an unofficial weight today and figure she's somewhere around 17 1/2 or 18 pounds. Nice jump from last month. She has a synagis shot on Wednesday (for RSV) and her 15 month check up on Monday, so we will have the official number later this week. She and John both escaped the pneumonia which is awesome because that would not be good. It wasn't any fun for me either, but the doctor declared my lungs clear as a bell last week. Yeah!

Myla is making all sorts of cute faces and strange sounds lately. She's discovered that she can climb on things like her rocking chair at G&G Witulski's house and the bouncy chair at her babysitters house. She's a master at hiding toys or pieces of her puzzles in places I would never think to look, and she will eat almost anything you put on her plate. Still won't have anything to do with milk from her cup, but maybe when she can make the switch to cow's milk, she won't even flinch. Life is good around this Washburn house, and a whole lotta fun.

Nice! I forgot about the craziness of free days on warm winter days in Denver. Funny, how most free days turned out to be beautiful days! Glad you had a fun day in. ;)
