Mya (almost) 16 months

This girl is so crazy and so fun. She has so much personality! We love having her around our house! This is what she is up to lately:

-sleeps 13-14 hours a night (I KNOW RIGHT???)
-takes an afternoon nap for a couple hours
-can say mama, dada, susu (soother), baby, puppy (everything that comes out of her mouth is so cute!)
-is getting to be pickier about eating but loves oatmeal (my specialty with ground flax, sesame seeds, hemp and almond or rice milk, this is seriously her favorite food!) avocado, bananas, canned green beans, cheese, chocolate, pasta, eggs, red river cereal, mum mum's, apples, raspberries, blueberries, my specialty daily smoothies (which are never the same but generally a bunch of different fruits and spinach or kale, seeds and juice, sometimes yogurt) she also loves her cod liver oil capsules and pretty much starts hyperventilating anytime I bring them out. It's all about starting young, all the girls think they are such a "treat"!
-she doesn't like many vegetables (see above about starting young... I was too lazy to take the time to cook and puree some days so just went with more fruit and soft foods instead) oops.
-she loves to dance when we turn on music
she hates her carseat (as they all have at this age)
-loves swimming
-loves her soother and is becoming increasingly attached. Oh dear.
-loves nursing and yes I still let her indulge before bed once a day. It's our special time when she is not wiggly and will actually sit still and look at me and smile and let me stroke her hair (what left of it after her haircut). I am not ready to give this up yet.
-loves watching home videos and looking at pictures of herself and her family.
-LOVES her big sisters and is so adored by them still.
-hates church and screams and bangs on the door during relief society, until I let her out and then she runs around the halls laughing and having a ball. She has figured out that the nursery leaders put toys out in the hall when they have lesson time, and she figures they are for her.
-brightest blue eyes and dark eyelashes that take my breath away.
-4 front top teeth, 2 top molars, and two bottom front teeth
-hates getting dressed, and is probably my biggest daily challenge! She thinks it is funny to run away naked laughing so I have to chase her down and put clothes on. It's super cute and usually I humour her, but sometimes it is just time to get dressed!
-loves babies and during my recent newborn shoot she crept upstairs near the end and couldn't peel her eyes away from these twin and even layed down on the pillow to be closer to them. Of course with her "su su", so she could be just like them :)


-what did I ever do without her?

Oh she's so cute! I love that photo! Oh don't worry about the veggie thing. I was the QUEEN of veggies wtih my girls when they were babies and guess what? They hate veggies now. I honestly think there's only so much you can do about it. My girls LOVE their fish oil capsules too...funny, because they make me want to puke. And if I ever catch a whiff of their breath after one...well I'll be gagging that's for sure!
