Little Mylee is now 9 months old! She is the sweetest little girl. Teething right now, trying to get those two top teeth in. They are about to break so I hurried to take some photos of her today. I'm not really excited about her top teeth coming in. She has such a sweet smile with the two bottom teeth...I don't want it to change!
At 9 months Mylee:
*Has 2 teeth.
*A big attitude, which we giggle at. She's quite the drama queen.
*LOVES to kiss her baby doll, stuffed animal dog and of course Mommy, Daddy and Kendal. Although she has learned to do a fast kiss with Daddy. It's quite funny. She opens her mouth, goes in for the kiss, barely touches and pulls away with her eyes closed tight. Guess she's learned he has a pokey face!
*I consider her to be a Mommy's girl. I had another little girl sitting on my lap at a baptism and Mylee started being drama. She was crying and reaching for me. It was really funny.
*She LOVES animals. Mainly dogs. She will giggle and screech to get the dogs attention.
*She can say "Mama" "Dada" and Dog "Gah" she jabbers a ton!
*She is starting to walk around the furniture. (I am REALLY tempted to knock her down....I REALLY don't want her walking!!)
*She still sleeps 10-13 hours at night. EVERY night.
*She is a very, VERY active girl. Church is difficult because she wants to be down crawling and exploring.
*She is doing great without the binky! She hasn't found her thumb in exchange so we are good! She goes to bed and naps with ease. I absolutely love it!
*She LOVES to play with Kendal. Anytime Kendal sits on the floor to play with something, Mylee starts to crawl over to her and as she crawls over, Mylee is giggling all the way. "I get to play with Sissy" Kendal gets frustrated after a while, so I've taught Kendal do sit on the couch and play or to not get a certain something out while Mylee is awake. To wait til Mylee goes down for her nap. Kendal is learning that Mylee is a friend. I hope I teach that well. I want my girls to be friends. So far, they are doing well. Kendal is learning to share toys and to give Mylee toys to play with. It's awesome to watch.
She is SUCH an easy baby. She rarely cries. If she does, it's easy to know why. Time to eat, sleep or she's throwing a tantrum cuz she can't have something she wants. Drama, drama, drama. But I love it. I laugh at her fits. They are so pathetic but so cute! I'm so grateful for this sweet girl in our family. She really is the cherry on top. :)
For all those who read my blog...I've been getting that "when are you going to have another baby?" question...to answer...WE ARE NOT HAVING ANYMORE! haha We love just having our two girls and I can't imagine even wanting to be pregnant. I always thought I'd have more, but after going through pregnancy and now raising kids, we are done. :)
I've been really bad at updating lately. I am in training for a half marathon that will take place in less than THREE WEEKS!! I've had a really hard last month dealing with tendinitis in both my knees.I'll be posting about everything after my race. CRAZY!!
Life is great though! Having lots of fun as a family and enjoying each other. Kendal is amazing. She is now in Sunbeams at church and loves it! After we pick her up a handful of teachers tell me how awesome Kendal is and how much of a joy she is to have there. I love hearing that! Kendal is such a good kid. Such a big helper!
I'm excited for the new year. I have some goals that I've set for the year. When thinking about what goals I wanted, I always write down the obvious ones. Eat healthy, don't gain weight, keep a clean house....the same goals I set every year. But this year is a little different.
*Run a half marathon
*Learn to ride a motorcycle
*Hike Camelback mountain (I tried to when kendal was a year old and I only made it about 1/4 of the way up. HARD!!)
*I have a new interest in trail running. With running long distance on the road, my knees and body are falling apart. So I've learned about trail running. Running mountains/hills. Looks like a ton of fun!
These are just a few I've come up with so far. These are real obtainable goals for me. Something I'm interested in. I'm very excited for this new year and where I can take myself.
First up...half marathon!! January 28th, 2012!

Love those little grins! She is such a cutie!
I've gone trail running before, it's so fun to run through the trees (in my case)! You are making me wish it was summer. I went running last week, the loop I took in our neighborhood is 1.44 miles. BUT, it was only because Chris came home early. No jogging stroller, lots of bad weather, and it getting dark around 5pm make it difficult!
Great pictures of Mylee! My 1.8 lens is coming today and I hope to get much better indoor pictures! Our CFL's just don't provide enough light - I have to do it at 1/15 to be adequate (if it doesn't turn out blurry).
Definitely a fun age as they're transitioning!
