Thankful...so thankful

What a fun year it's s been. This time last year we were getting to know our sweet new baby girl, miss Mya Jae, who was only one week old. I'm almost positive there is a picture just like this one from last year of my mom talking to Mya. Mya loves her heart to hearts with her Mima.
Mya has her Mima and Papa wrapped around her drooly little finger! She loved spending time with them this holiday. She talked and talked and talked to them. I'm pretty sure she was telling them her Christmas list! I wish I had gotten a picture of Mya with my parent's dog, Dodge, because she was loving having him around. She would talk to him and pet him and do what I call her "cheerleader" face where she has her mouth open wide smiling! I'll have to get a picture of it! What a funny girl!
Ok, these next pictures are out of order because that's how my computer puts my pictures on here and I don't have the energy to change them. So they are backward. But you'll get the general idea. This is Mya in one of my favorite outfits she got for her birthday reading a book in her new princess chair that she got from me and Dan. She loves to sit and read in it. So cute!
Here's my sweet girl eating her birthday cake at her party. It was a great day, great party, and I really think she had a great time!
Here we are singing Happy Birthday to our little one year old. She had a leopard print cake with her picture on it. It couldn't have turned out better!
Why, yes, that is a tutu on my sweet adorable girl! She looked like a real diva princess!
Does it get any cuter than this? I didn't think so!
This is a picture of Mya eating a cupcake on her real birthday. She had no idea what she was supposed to do with it. She ended up just flinging the frosting around and not really eating any of it. I was glad we had a "practice run" because she actually knew what she was supposed to do at her birthday party.
And this is just an adorable picture of my blue eyed girl playing in my hat. She walked around the house forever in it and when I finally took it off of her, she tried to put it back on herself. She is so funny! Mya is such a joy and we are so truly thankful for everything she is and everything she will be. She is silly, sweet, loving, adventurous, shy, talkative, naughty(surely not, right?), and everything we hoped she would be at one year old! Happy Birthday our pretty girl! We love you more than we ever imagined.

Stupid Computer!

So my little baby girl turned one last Friday and we have tons of photos to show from her actual birthday as well as from her birthday party on Saturday. So I finally sat down tonight to upload them and do lots of fun stuff with them, including order some prints and guess what? My computer won't let me upload them. It absolutely refuses to let me get them from my camera to the computer screen. I am so mad! So I just wanted to let you know that we have beautiful fun pictures of our sweet girl...but can't show them off just yet. But soon. Or else. Do you hear me computer? I'm going to throw you in front of a car if you don't work with me here. I don't think it's listening.
Well, anyway, without the pictures, I can tell you that we had a great birthday weekend! Mya had such a good time turning one. We got to spend time with our family and friends and have a great time celebrating Mya's first year of life. She had her one year check up which went really well. I can't believe she's 30 inches long and 19.2 pounds! She is tall and thin according to the charts, which I'm sure can be attributed to all the running around she does, because she certainly knows how to eat! She's developmentally doing great and looks healthy and happy! We're so proud of her. I promise I'll post pictures of our happy healthy missy moo as soon as I can. Until then, Happy Thanksgiving!

Time flies

Happy Halloween... a little late! This year was so much fun since it was Mya's first halloween. We don't usually get too excited about halloween, but isn't she just the cutest K-State cheerleader you've ever seen? She had such a good time walking(toddling) around the block with her cousins. I just love the picture above of us walking together. So cute!
Her cheerleading costume is actually a 2T that someone gave to us, but I couldn't wait until next year for her to wear it. But as you can tell, it was a little big. I love this picture of Mima and Jordan! Jordan was a Manhattan cheerleading and she was so cute!
And here's Dad trying to walk with both Dorian and Mya. That is not easy. Especially because Mya kept tripping over her shoes. Silly girl. In her defense, walking is hard!

Dan took this picture of Mya and it is one of my current favorites. We can't hardly get her to sit still these days, which is a lot of fun! She is always babbling, playing, and most recently, walking!
The above picture was taken at my friend Lindsey's house when Cami turned one. I know it doesn't really look like it, but Cami is actually giving Mya a hug and it was adorable. And Mya didn't even mind it. They got along so well! They are going to be best friends, I can tell!
And I just had to add this picture of me and Camdyn all dressed up in her snow white costume... her favorite princess! Isn't she precious?

Well, that's all I've got for now. Just waiting for Mya's birthday and for Thanksgiving... my favorite holiday! What's not to love about family, friends, and good food? And Dan would add football to that list!
