10 months

It is so crazy how much Mya looks like me at the moment. I am not sure how old I am in these last 3 photos but it looks around the same age as she is right now. She is going through the funniest stage; she loves to crawl into, around and through things that barely fits her. She thinks it's the funniest thing in the world to play with the electrical outlets and when mom and dad get mad at her she just looks at us and giggles, if we start to walk toward her to take her away from them she gets all excited and tries to touch it as many times as she can or she runs away while giggling. She absolutely loves going on walks at night and we love it too. Walks are the only time that Brian and I have time to talk with out having to worry about what the little lady is getting into. She makes us laugh every day. She knows how to open up cupboards and drawers and pull absolutely everything out of them. She thinks that q-tips are the coolest things to dump on the floor. She pulls up on the furniture and stands by herself for about 2-3 seconds. When we try to hold her hand and walk with her she just bends her legs and wants us to do the work for her. She gives the best loves ever she even adds her little pats. She is still on a great schedule she wakes up around 6:45 goes down for a nap at 9:00 wakes up at 11:00 and then back down for her second nap at 1:00 until 3:00 and then down for the night around 7:00. She hates to eat baby food and fights it every time we give it to her. I cut up almost everything we eat for her and when she puts the food in her mouth she says "Mmmm" it's so stinking cute. She babbles all day long non-stop I love to hear her new sounds she makes. So far she has mastered; S, Th, T, D, M, B, and squealing. Brian says she is such a girl because at total random times she squeals with excitement so loudly. She is very patient and well tempered. We mess with her all the time and she just sits there and takes it or she laughs with us. She is the same size as her 3 month old cousin and her 7 and 8 month old friends. She hates to wear shoes. She picks out her outfits for the day. She is sleeping through the night for the most part. Every once in awhile she wakes up when she hears us up getting Brian ready for work then goes back to bed. She has 7 teeth 4 on top and 3 on the bottom. She is now turning pages in her cardboard books and feeling for the sensory spots on the feeler books. She absolutely hates getting in her car seat but is just fine after she is buckled in. She loves to stand up in her car seat and dance (when the car is parked of coarse). She is a dancing fanatic any sort of beat or music she jams out to. She knows to wave good-bye and blow kisses. She just started walking while holding on the couches. She crawls on the cement and across rocks like they aren't even there. She follows the turtle across the back yard and pats him. She loves the little guy. She thinks all little kids are her friends and talks to them all the time wherever we are. Her hair is getting more and more blonde. She is starting to point at objects and learning to put objects into other ones. She knows shoes go on her feet. When we tell her to wash her body she rubs her hands across her belly. She is growing up so fast I miss when she used to be so dependent ( but it is nice that she can entertain herself for a little while now). She doesn't share very well. Her cheeks are very kissable and she still loves for me to kiss the palm of her hand when she is drinking her bottle just like I have always done since she was nursing. She loves to look in peoples mouths for their teeth and grab their nose. She is growing up so fast I miss the little baby but it always makes me so excited when she starts learning new things.
