6 months old!

Mya just had her half year birthday! Her Christening was on January 18th as well, and she did great during the ceremony. No cries or fussiness - she was so interested in what everyone in the church was doing. For her christening she wore Philip's christening gown, which was originally from Ireland. We were so happy she fit into it!

Nan and Papa Tom were also here to visit, and Nan was able to stay a few extra days to help take care of her while we went to work that week.

Mya now weighs about 16lbs 9 ounces, and goes to the doctor again next friday for her latest checkup. She is eating foods 3 times a day now... her favorites being sweet potatoes and bananas. She can't get enough! She is also sitting upright all by herself, and is starting the beginning stages of crawling... she can get herself all the way up on her arms and knees in the crawling position, but then she doesn't know what to do next. She's getting there! She also will pull herself up to stand when she is in your lap - although she's pretty wobbly with that trick right now.

She is VERY interested in Chloe... everytime she sees her she laughs and smiles at her, its very cute. Mya keeps trying to grab her nose and stick her fingers up there, which Chloe is pretty annoyed by, but she just licks her across the face anyways. Mya is definitely starting to grow on her.

More to come soon. Here are some of the pictures of the christening, etc.

Love,
Lauren, Philip, Mya and Chloe xoxoxoxoxoxoxo
