Our sweet baby Mya is growing up - 16 months old! During deployments, I feel all too often that I wish my kids childhoods away. Every day that I want to go by faster to bring Chad home is one day gone from the moments of them being so little. I experienced the same feelings with Addison at this age.
Mya's personality has certainly blossomed in the last few months! She is still pretty calm and content most of the time, but she can have quite a temper at times and can be a total ham! She has the cheesiest grin with tiny little teeth and eyes squinted. Every time I get the camera out though, she drops the grin and just wants to hold the camera.
Mya Facts:
- weight - 19.5lbs - I know, our kiddos stay on the little side of life
- length - 27 inches
- 2 teeth on the bottom, 4 teeth on the top (that all cut at the same time!) I'm pretty sure she is cutting her molars right now.
- still hanging on to her morning nap. Our schedule doesn't always allow for it, but on days we are at home, she will sleep 2 hours in the morning, 3 hours in the afternoon and still go to bed at 8!
- she CAN walk...she just doesn't always make that choice! Her Daddy doesn't think she'll ever really walk, but she will. :) She took her first real steps 2 months ago, but still crawled for a long time. Now she walks around holding on to things most of the time. She is walking independently more and more.
- she LOVES to climb and can often be found standing on the picnic table, her little stool, chair - standing up with her cheesy grin b/c she knows she's about to get in trouble. She's only fallen down the stairs once.
- Shoe size - 2
- Clothes size - 12-18 months. All of Addison's clothes from this age are summer clothes. Upstate New York spring and Tennessee spring temperatures are very different, so I've had to hold on to some of the 12 month clothes a little longer.
- She LOVES seeing Chad everyday on the webcam.
- She eats anything (except when she's teething). Her favorites are: peanut butter, grapes, bananas, green beans, chicken, mac and cheese and cheese sticks.
- we completely finished nursing just before she turned 14 months old
- looks just like Addison as this age, except her hair has some curl on the bottom
Mya loves her sister. She copies everything Addison does...which is teaching Addison a lot about what she should and shouldn't be doing!
Here's a perfect example...
Another little gymnast?
Mya-Mya - we love you! We love watching you grow and learn every day. Daddy misses you so much and loves to see your little grin each day. I love snuggling with you in the morning and when you get sleepy at nap time. Your little hands grab my pant legs and you scream "mama" when you want something! You are like me - you want something to eat the moment you wake up in the morning. I love watching you grow and learn everyday...just wish you weren't so fast at emptying my bathroom cabinet and tupperware cabinet! :) Love you sweet Mya!
