11 months old!

We are in shock. Our little Mya is going to be 1 next month. Where did the time go?! Mya is getting into everything these days. Now that she can crawl and walk along the furniture, she is becoming a little more daring -- she'll stand by herself for a few moments without falling, she looooooves to walk with you when you hold her hands, and she has already mastered going up the stairs (which scares the crap out of us!). Philip also just celebrated his first father's day with our little Mya, and had a great day. He got a new grill with all the accessories to go with it for his big day. They had a wonderful day and we're looking forward to celebrating many more together!

She is also starting to talk... A LOT. Besides the normal baby babbles, she says "up" when she's ready to be picked up and puts her arms out; "duhg" is, of course, the dog; "no" is perhaps her favorite word so far. Plus she finds it hilarious to say no, which makes us crack up. She also says mama and dada, and we think she is trying to say Nan as well (my mom is currently visiting and that's what we call her).

Mya has also started with a spoon of her own when eating; although she's not exactly sure how to use it completely. She mostly just sticks it in the bowl of food, and then mashes it on her face. At least she's going in the right direction with the spoon... sooner or later she'll figure out it goes in her mouth!

Plans are in full swing for the big first birthday bash. We can't wait to celebrate her big day with her. We're keeping it relatively low key, just bbq, the pool and games for the kids.

We can't believe how much she is changing, and how big she is getting! More updates to come soon.

Love,

Philip, Lauren & Mya (and Chloe too) xoxoxoxoxoxo
