Fall is such a beautiful time of year in Minnesota. It was such a treat to spend this fall with our beautiful little girl, Ms. Myah. In the last month has been become increasing mobile and is able to pull herself up on anything and everything around the house. She gets around really well and even goes up the stairs without any hesitation. She is also eating all of the same food we eat for the most part, which makes life easier around supper time, since she's also feeding herself. It's a pretty sloppy ordeal, but she manages to get most of the food in her mouth!
Most of our days at home are filled with 2 of her favorite activities- learning how to walk and reading books. Myah is now able to grab unto her walker toy and push it across the room. She falls a few times but is pretty determined to make it across the room. Myah has taken a surprising liking to books in the last month. She has her favorites, mostly touch n' feel books and flip-flap books! She will grab a book and crawl or cruise over, sit on my lap, and signal for me to read to her. It's really fun to see her engaged in the books, but, I must say I've memorized at least 4 of her books! :)
Myah has also started saying 'Mama' and 'Dada' and can identify both of us, Addie, and her Monkey. Tonight I asked her where her monkey was and she actually pointed at it instead of just glancing at it. Cute!
In the last month, Myah enjoyed her time at her Uncle Eric and Aunt Katie's wedding. They were married on 16th of October and it was a gorgeous day! Myah made it for the family pictures and then hung out in the nursery for the wedding. After the wedding, our family headed to the cabin where we enjoyed some quality time as an immediate family and later were joined by Grandma and Grandpa Olsen.
Of course, Myah celebrated her First Halloween! She was a kitty cat. It was a fun day. Myah's Grandparents came over, as well as her friend, Kaitlynn. We had about 100 trick-or-treaters before Myah headed to bed at 7pm.
We are looking forward to the upcoming month. This Thursday we will celebrate Myah's First Thanksgiving and soon we will celebrate her first Christmas. I can't wait to see how she responds to Santa Claus at the mall. That should be interesting.
Also, coming up in the next month is her 1st Birthday. It's hard to believe that I was nearly 9 months pregnant at this time last year! Wow!
