Love this little girl more every day!

Here she is holding one of her favorite things of baby food, a mixture of peas and pears!
Getting ready for church. I love dressing her she has a ton of cute clothes and she looks great in everything!
This is her favorite caterpillar toy that she found at my mom's house. he has a little bobble head and she just loves him.
She loves pizza crust!!
This is what my mom got her for Valentines Day! Nick's mom bought her a darling dress too, she is pretty spoiled!
More pizza crust....she always wants to be a part of our meals. She loves food! A girl after my own heart!

Playing with Dad. She is very much into touching our faces right now. She also loves my earings and really any jewelry that I have on she wants to touch.
She misses her Dad when he has to work all day and is always so happy to see him when he comes home!

Update.....


Nick and I both love this picture. Sometimes she gets tired from rolling all over and she will just stop like this on her belly and chill for a sec. It's so cute!

Here are some things that have happened lately with Mya that you might enjoy hearing about! 

This morning at 5:00 I heard Mya crying so I got up to make sure she was ok and when I went in her room her crib mobile thing was on playing nature sounds. I just figured Nick had already been up with her or something and had turned it on for her. If she wakes during the night all we do is go in put her binky in her mouth or turn her music mobile on and then she goes right back to sleep. I asked Nick if he had to get up with her at all last night and he said no......that means little miss Mya turned her mobile on all by herself! The buttons for the mobile are inside the crib and I guess since she has been watching for so long how we turn her music on she decided to try it out for herself. Now if we can just get her to reach the music button instead of nature sounds we'll be off the hook! Lol we both thought it was so funny! She is getting too smart!


Also we have been working with her for about 3 weeks on waving hi and bye. Yesterday I took her to the store and the lady was asking about her and then waved and said "hi Mya" she stared for a minute and then started waving back!!!! It was so cute! When I got home I told Nick and he didn't believe me. My friend Emily came over last night to show us Mya's 6 month pictures (you are going to die they are so cute) and she waved and said "hi" to Mya while Nick was there and guess what Mya full on waved again!! Ha ha in your face Nick....lol. It was awesome! We can't get her to wave to us but apparently she is fine waving to anyone else. It is so funny to start seeing her do all these new big girl things. Oh man I just want her to stay little forever!


Nick is a hero!!! We had our first really scary experience with Mya last Sunday. She was eating a cracker like she has a million times and all of a sudden she started choking. Her little face was turning purple and she was making an awful noise. I freaked right out and kind of froze at the same time. Nick had just walked in from meetings after church (thank heavens!!) I grabbed her and tried to get the piece of cracker out of her mouth but that didn't work. Nick practically jumped over the couch grabbed her put her upside down across his knee, patted her back one time and out popped the little piece of cracker. Louie was standing right next to Nick and as soon as the cracker came out she busted up laughing. I was still shaking and in some sort of shock....I need to work on being able to pull myself together in an emergency.  Nick was even a little shaken but he is pretty calm in tense situations. But apparently Mya just thought it was funny! She is a little stinker sometimes. I think one reason why she laughed is because Louie was right there in her sight she seriously loves that dog! Anyway I hope that never happens again it was pretty scary. I just thought it was funny for her to defuse such a tense moment by laughing!! I love her so much she is always like a bright ray of sunshine, she makes it easy to smile!

Happy Birthday to Nick!

Here is Mya with Nick on his 27th birthday February 15, 2012! This was his first birthday with cute baby girl. Me and Mya made Nick those brownies they are his favorite :)
She is in a stage right now that everything no matter what it is goes straight in her mouth!
Here is she checking the candle out again even though she knows it doesn't taste good! 
See there it goes back in the mouth, gross but so very cute!! She loved his balloons and his candles! Nick didn't have class or work on this day so we just got to hang out with him all day. It was awesome!

Cupie doll???

These are Cupie Dolls.
What do you think...Mya look a like?

We have now had several people tell us how much Mya looks like a cupie doll. Neither of us had any idea what a "cupie doll" even is so I looked it up! Nick thinks they are scary looking but I can totally see what people mean. She has the big eyes and rosey cheeks along with the little curl on top and hair on the sides!!! I think it's funny and cute :)

Rolling all over

At home getting into trouble while Dad's working.

Look at her plow over that pillow! She knows what she wants and she is going to get it :) She's a determined little bug!
Oh no looks like she rolled and tipped her mat over too. She is seriously all over the place!  Looks like Nick has his work cut out for him today.

She has discovered that she can move herself all over the place by rolling. Here are some pics Nick sent me this morning showing me that she rolled over her pillow to get to the box of stuff to play with, She did have her head on the pillow with her legs down and as you can see she has rolled her way right out of the pillow. She is too funny! Who needs crawling she gets where she wants just fine without it!! I have a feeling we are really in for it when she does start crawling.....good thing she's so cute!!

Mya & Cooper

We got to watch Cooper for a bit, he and Mya had a blast!! It looks like she is throwing the ball at his head....don't worry she's not!
Look at this they are almost the exact same size and Cooper is 4 months younger than Mya! Nick calls him a bowling ball.
Best buddies!!!
"Peace"
He loved watching her jump like a mad woman in her bouncer.

Forever & ever....

Mt. Timpanogos Temple February 4, 2012
Some of our friends and family, the ones that were able to stay for pictures.:)
Mya's first trip to the temple!
Beautiful Mya!
Her blue eyes are to die for! She looks like a doll.
She was so smiley and happy the entire day, we had a lot of fun!
Dad can always make her smile!
I LOVE this sweet little angel!
LOL....poor Nick he always ends up carrying everything.
Her special purple shoes!
Her face in this picture is so funny and cute!
Her favorite thing is to be thrown in the air, the higher the better. She just smiles and laughs and can't get enough!
In this picture she was looking up at Nick.....she sure loves him!


 

 
 Our great friend Emily took these pictures for us at the temple. They turned out better than I could have ever imagined! Mya is the most perfect thing in the world. This experience was one of the most amazing ones we have ever had. We had so many of our friends and family there to celebrate and support us. There was an overwhelming feeling of love, we could feel your sweet spirit there too. Mya looked like an angel in her white dress. Thank you for making this whole thing possible. We thought about you the entire time and couldn't be more grateful for you. We each had something purple on to honor you........we really do love you so much! We will love you and Mya forever!
