Myah Makes Her TV and Newspaper Debut!

Ms. Myah and her Baby Boomer friends have been getting a lot of attention. Myah and the other 8 babies were featured on Kare 11 last Friday night and the Chaska Herald today. Here is the link to the Chaska Herald Article: (http://www.chaskaherald.com/news/births/baby-boom-clover-ridge-regular-stop-storks-route-103)

Myah is growing up so fast and making small new discoveries everyday. Today she found her feet. She was pretty impressed with them and kept touching her hands to her toes. She has also been paying a little more attention to Addie. She has been 'petting' her and looking at her. I think that Addie may be in love with Myah. She sits by her playmat and looks at Myah with loving eyes and sighs. Once in awhile, she'll try to lick her in her mouth, too... so we are trying to definitely avoid that!!!!

Myah spent some good quality time with her Great-Grandparents this week. First, Myah and I a really nice visit with Great-Grandma and Grandpa Olsen. Grandma Jane babysat her for about an hour for me, which was great! Myah found some interest in a little Donald Duck dancing figure and bobbed her head a long to the music. Secondly, we visited Hilde. Grandma Hilde is still at the nursing home and just appreciated the visit from her Great-Grandaughter. All in all, it's been a pretty good week!!!

Myah's 2 months old (and then some)

It's hard to believe that Myah is turning 10 weeks old this Friday! We've had an awesome time getting to know her and watching her change before our eyes. Right now her favorite things to do are: 1) sit in her bouncer 2) lay on her playmat and look at all of the objects that hang down 3) ride around in her car seat and visit family & friends 4) eat and eat some more 5)sleep, but only once in awhile. This is pretty much what our average weeks consist of.

Last Friday, Myah had her 2 month check-up. The doctor was pleased with her progress. She weighed in at 12lbs 11oz and was nearly 24 inches long. This puts her in the 90th percentile for weight and 95th for height. Holy cow!

Last weekend, Myah met all of the Olsens at a little get-together. Everyone enjoyed holding her and playing with her. She did pretty well and even had enough energy left to visit her Great-Grandma Hilde in the hospital on Sunday night. Sadly, my Grandma Hilde fell and broke both of her knees early on Sunday AM. It's been tough on the family, as we know that her quality of life will be affected greatly and that living on her own in the future is not highly likely. She moved into a nursing home late yesterday instead of going back to her apartment. Myah and I will need to go and visit to make sure that she's settling in quickly.

In the upcoming week Myah's focus will be on getting stronger during tummy time. Right now, it is probably her least favorite activity, so we're working on it :) We will also work on napping her more and more, she is just a little cat napper during the day. I have a rare picture of her asleep during the day attached to this blog update :)

Hope all is well! Katy
