This little munchkin is growing right up. She is our little mockingbird. She repeats EVERYTHING we say. She is a wiz at remembering names- she gets that from her dad- not me!
She learned how to crawl out of her crib last week and sleep has been interesting- to say the least. Naps she does okay but she hasn't slept in her crib since she figured it out. We have tried laying down the law and make her stay in her room instead of sleeping with us so we have found her asleep on the floor in her bedroom and outside our door. It's my goal to get her crib turned into a toddler bed this week. We have introduced the "princess potty" she has experimented with it- but nothing too significant. I'm not going to push it with her. I figure she'll get it on her own eventually but I don't have a week or two to really enforce it! So- we'll see what happens! She still has a binky and drinks from a bottle at times. I have received a little flack about it but I really could care less! I'd rather have her have those than suck on her thumb- so I'll be patient about taking them away for good. However, she is getting old enough that it does look ridiculous if she has either in public- so we limit it to naps and bedtime.......and for much needed peaceful moments at home. As I write this....she is quietly on the couch with a binky in her mouth watching cartoons!
We ask her what her name is and she'll say "Hayden!" Then we ask her what her other name is and she says, "Millie!" She still answers to both- friends and family have pretty much settled on what they want to call her- her parents still don't know! Ha ha- lately I have pretty much been calling her 'Mill'- but still bring out Hayden every once in a while- her dad still resorts to hun, honey, sis, and hey you! I'm kinda curious to see as she grows up and starts school- what she will want to be called! She still calls us Megan and Colby at times- and she thinks it is soooo funny when she does it!
She can count to ten and loves to do it. She knows her M's, H's, R's, A's and what they "say" but her favorite letter is still W. She can pick it out anywhere and on anything! Her favorite thing to watch on TV lately is Popeye. Colby and I have an aversion to the newer cartoons so we are happy that she finds Popeye and other old ones (including black and whites) on Netflix.
She is a busy body- she constantly asks if we can go to the park, or the store, or in the car. The other day she had been begging to go to the park for a while and then she popped off, "Text Lainey, Mom!" It caught me completely off guard! How does she know to text Lainey?
We were finally able to make it to Delta for one of Dylan's birthdays! It only took us 4 tries to make it happen....... I needed a dentist appointment and was enjoying my break from school!
Mill loves to go to Activity Day's with me- she calls them "the girls." She had so much fun this last week going "swimming in the water with the girls!" I never want to be released from this calling- it is the BEST!!
