Michael, Meredith, Myla, Selah & Ramsey
This is another new thing that Myla loves to do....walk behind her push toy. She can only do it on the carpet or the grass outside because she puts all her weight on it. If she is on a smooth surface, she would surely fall! It is really amazing to me to watch her do this considering that a month and a half ago she wasn't even crawling!
One more new thing....gosh she is doing lots of new things, but she loves to give kisses....good old open mouth, wet kisses! You can ask her to give you a kiss, and she will lean in big smile, mouth open and plant one on you. I will try to get a video soon!
Another new thing....Myla LOVES spaghetti. Michael and I had it for dinner one night, and I thought I would give her a bite. She cried when I quit feeding it to her. Now she has it often, and she never refuses it! She is eating better, and she is now pretty much on all table food. She is getting to be such a big girl! Here is a face only a mother could love.......covered in spaghetti!
Myla has always loved her books, but she now realizes what they are for....to read! She loves to sit and "read" her books. She opens it up, jabbers to the pages, then turns the page and keeps jabbering! She will do this for very long periods of time, and she is so content. I know her Mimi will be proud that she has inherited her love for reading! Let's hope this continues the older she gets. Oskie joins her sometimes too. As you know, the two love each other! She still says "Okkie" all the time! Sweetest thing!
The main thing we have been doing this week is Vacation Bible School at our church. I have been helping with the 3 & 4 year olds, which has been a lot of fun, but Myla on the other hand has not had much fun at all. DO NOT LET THE PICTURE BELOW FOOL YOU! The workers must have taken this first thing in the morning on Tuesday, because shortly after, she screamed for over an hour. I have to reluctantly say that it was my fault because I forgot the ever important pink dog (her sleep lovey) that she MUST have to sleep. I cannot believe I forgot the stinking thing...you think I would have learned my lesson by now. I figured she would have a hard time sleeping at VBS because of all the action that would be going on around her, but without the pink dog, she wouldn't even try! My sweet friend Natalie kept her yesterday while I went and today I took a hiatus from VBS to stay home with my little schedule baby that doesn't like to be away from home!!! I am a little anal about her schedule, but it makes my life easier. Okay, enough about that! She is going to go with me tomorrow because the ladies are upset that she hasn't been in a few days, so I figure she will survive!! She has done fine today at home! 
Myla wasn't so sure about the rocking horse!
Mimi read me lots of books, and she even bought me some new ones. Thanks, Mimi!!
Myla wanted NOTHING to do with these hats...
but it didn't keep us from trying to get them on her!
Myla was so excited to see Henry. She kept giving him hugs!!
Peyton and Henry fishing...
Myla: "I am going to get all my toys out and find the perfect one for Gent."
Myla: "Okay, Gent, so here are my toys that my mom brought over. Let's see if we can find one you like..."
Myla: "What about one of my stackable stars? No? Okay, let's move on."
Myla: "What about this little lion that used to hang down from my carseat? Okay, still not good for you..."
Myla: "Surely you will like this little thing that winds up and plays music!! Alright...you are hard to please Mr. Gent."
Gent: "Poor child, she has some boring toys. I can't believe that she has to play with these all day. I need something that tastes like steak or something that I can chew on."
Myla and Gent: "Enough of trying to work this out...We will agree to disagree."
Thanks again, y'all, for the great dinner and fellowship!!!
