Myah's 1st Trip to the Cabin and Vday





Myah made her 1st time up to the cabin the weekend over Valentine's Day. She did really well in the car and slept most of the way there. At the cabin, she did a great job relaxing and keeping everyone entertained with her new trick (her smile). On Saturday, her Great-Aunt Kris and Great-Uncle Don stopped by to visit, too.

Valentine's Day started off nice and relaxing. Josh and I had been out the night before to celebrate and we started the morning off with waffles. Myah put on her new bib and enjoyed her company. That evening, the Noro Virus hit both Josh and me. Luckily, Josh made it home. Myah and I were still at the cabin with my mom who thankfully was able to take care of Myah through the night, while I slept on the bathroom floor. Thank god for moms!!!! Myah never got the full extent of the Noro Virus, but was pretty cranky last week, so we're guessing she felt under the weather, too.

It took a little over a week, but Josh and I are finally starting to feel normal again. One thing we learned this week is that we will not ever get sick at the same time again :) (Ok, that might not be possible, but we don't wish it on anyone) :)

This week Myah is planning to make some special appearances at both United Health Group and Target! We are excited to introduce her to our friends at work.

Addie is still adjusting pretty well to Myah. She is just not herself, though, as she adjusts to sharing attention with her new little sister. She still gets her daily walk and is getting a few extra treats to help with the transition :)

Hope all is well.

Myah Smiles For the 1st Time





It's a moment every new parent dreams about, their baby's first smile. Myah smiled for the 1st time last Sunday! What a cutie! She has been smiling a lot more this week, especially since it appears that we finally have her reflux esophagusatis under control. Last Friday the doctor put her on some baby prevacid and tylenol and she is doing so much better.

Myah had a pretty exciting weekend! She had a Baby Shower on Saturday thrown in her honor! She received lots of adorable girlie girl clothes from my mom's side of the family! On Sunday we also took her a Super Bowl party where she met her new friend, Fiona Wilson. The 2 sat in their bouncers and enjoyed staring at the ceiling fan instead of the game. :) Myah and I also met up with Fiona on Tuesday to walk around the MOA. Myah did a great job hanging out in the stroller and even let me go out for a nice lunch at the Twin Cities Grill with Molly. On Monday, also got to hang out with the other babies born during the Clover Ridge Baby Boom. So far, 7 of the 10 babies have been born. Myah is #5 of the 10. All 10 babies were lucky enough to have our neighbor make them the onesies that they are wearing in this picture. Keep posted on the Clover Ridge Baby Boom, as there may be a Kare 11 special on our neighborhood babies in the upcoming months!

This weekend Myah will be headed to the cabin for her first visit! Should be a relaxing weekend for the Retkas. Josh and I are looking forward to a night out and plan to celebrate Valentine's Day at Bistro 63, a few miles from the cabin!
