15 months

Mya turned 15 months today. Wow. I remember when Max turned 15 months old..I was only 6 weeks from having another baby! He seemed so old then and now Mya seems like such a baby to me. She's doing her very best to try to let me know she is not a baby anymore. Her main mission each day is to keep up with her big brother. She has started running/trotting to catch him or get to the toy first. Mya can push Max's buttons like no other. When she knows there is a toy he really wants or loves, she grabs it and runs away! Also, if she sees me coming at her with a diaper or clothes, she runs away and hides behind chairs, under blankets, etc. It's funny, but also really annoying when we're in a hurry! She has started getting into her babies a lot more lately and we've found it's our only way to distract her these days. We think Mya may be the reason the Vikings won today too. With a few seconds remaining in the game, we put on her Vikings cheerleader outfit and they magically won a game they had no business winning. Daddy's girl all the way!!


Here are a few stats and other fun tid-bits for her at 15 months:

--14 teeth total (4 molars)
--wearing size 4 diapers
--Size 4 wide feet
--21 lbs 10 oz (up 3 lbs from 12 months...yippee!!)
--Favorite foods: waffles, noodles, chips, pears, apples, green beans
--Least favorite food: meat
--Most days--1 nap per day. Sleeping 12-13 straight hours at night. hallelujah!!
--Saying lots of new words. A few of my favorites are pretty, monkey, milk, Max, more, potty. (she's very interested in the potty and often runs there to sit down first when she hears me ask Max if he needs to go)
--12 month pants and 18 month tops are fitting best these days.
--no matter who walks through the door, she always greets them with a "daddy!"
--can point to 5 body parts (eyes, ears, nose, mouth and tummy)
--loves books...just not books being read to her. She'd sit and look at books for hours.
--everything that comes in a cup is milk. She'll drink anything though.

That's all I can think of right now! We had a good weekend here. Chris and I went golfing yesterday. Well...Chris golfed and I attempted a few shots here and there) in a Welcome to Dubuque best shot. Our team took 2nd place and we won a $40 gift card, so it was definitely worth it! Paid for our babysitter at least:) Other than that, we tried to organize our basement and spend some time with the kids. Hope you all had a good weekend too!

You can regularly find Mya wearing Max's underwear on her head.


Max's favorite past-time (playing in the sink) has now because one of Mya's as well. It doesn't buy me as much time as it used to because someone always ends up crying before I finish my task!
