It's hard to believe that our little baby girl is growing up so fast. It seems like just yesterday that we were bringing her home from the hospital... and now she is 6 months old.
Myah continues to change and grow every day! She is rolling like crazy and is even starting to scoot/crawl a little bit, too. She has started to eat some solid foods like rice cereal and oatmeal. Some of her favorite fruits and veggies are carrots, sweet potatoes and bananas. She has not been a huge fan of pears, apples, green beans, or peas, but we're working on it :) Luckily, she's a pretty good eater and eats at least some of her meal twice a day.
Myah also has 2 teeth and 2 more on their way. She was such a good girl when they were coming in, too. She was little crankier than normal, but overall the new teeth didn't affect her as much as we expected. We were especially thankful that all went well with the teething because she also got her 3rd double ear infection at the same time the teeth came in. I am guessing that they will probably suggest putting tubes in her ears at some point soon if this keeps up.
Myah has been an outdoor baby. She likes to be outside and get some fresh air. At night, we typically take her to the baby swings near our house for a fun little ride. She also got some GREAT exposure to the outdoors over the past week.
Josh and I took off the week of the 4th of July. It was so wonderful to spend time as a family and with our parents. First, we went up to the cabin with the Olsens, took some great pontoon rides, bike rides, played some golf and went kayaking. We also took a day trip to Hayward and visited the FIRST Famous Dave's! It was great and really delicious. Once we returned to the cities, we took a day trip to Como Zoo. Myah loved the Butterfly Exhibit, it was very colorful and there were lots of moving butterflies, so she was very entertained! We also took a trip down to Courtland to visit Grandma Retka. We had a nice time going out for lunch and relaxing in the sun room.
Now that our vacation is nearly over, we look forward to the weeks ahead. There is lots to look forward to, especially since I moved to part-time position at Target. I'm loving my new job in the Organizational Effectiveness area. My main job responsibilities will include consulting and delivering trainings that support our finance area. I work 3 days a week and will have 4 days a week with Myah. I am so thankful for this opportunity.
Due to the changes in my job, we also needed to switch up Myah's daycare routine. Her last day at the Montessori School was on July 2nd. We recently found a new daycare provider that has a daycare at her home. We are really excited for Myah to go to the daycare because there are only 4 children at this daycare, and 3 of them are little girls her age. So,she can hopefully make some fun little friends in the upcoming months.
Last but not least, I am happy to announce, that our Ms. Myah has been sleeping through the night, most nights. She goes down around 7 or 8pm and gets up between 6 and 7am. This new routine has put a little extra pep in our step :) It's nice to be able to get a little more rest each night and know that she is also getting better sleep!
Well, that's it for now! I hope all of you are also having a wonderful summer. I will try to post another photo album on the site, too with more pictures!
Love, Katy, Josh, Myah, and Addie
