mya you are not my tiny little baby anymore. you are growing up so fast. you have perfected rolling over and don't ever stop. you love to be on your belly and watch tv. you got your second cold but never seem to really let it affect your happy nature until night time. you like to wake up around 1:3o everynight and want to nurse to go back to sleep. so we had to start the "cry it out". i don't know who cried more me or you (or trent) it was torture, the first night you cried for 2 whole hours. it took everything we had to not scoop you up, but only lasted a few nights and you cried less each night. you still wake up but will sooth yourself back to sleep. you wake up around 4 or 5 to eat. we will slowly weed this feeding out. i mean you are still pretty tiny and i'm sure 9 hours is a long time to go without eating. you are so happy in the mornings and will just talk and talk in your crib and then when someone comes to get you, you squeal in delight and then start babbling some more.

you want to crawl so bad. when something is out of reach you get so mad and start grunting until i put it back in your reach. out of curiousity i didn't put a toy back in your reach and low and behold you scooted to get it. now you scoot to get to whatever you see. this is pretty scary for me, i can't leave you for a second. you love to be up on your hands and knees and just rock. you are just too cute!

you still love taking baths and are getting really good at splashing and getting mom all wet. you love to be tossed (never leaving our hands) in the air and going upside down. you discovered how to bounce in your bouncer and could stay in there all day. you are our sweet cheeks and we love you!
