My Uncle Mark and Aunt Patty recently opened up a pool. While on our visit to Somerset, we took full advantage of it. Mikayla really loved the waterslide. Check her out!
Human hamster wheel fun!
And Steve driving a tractor!

Since we are in the states and have some awesome Internet, I thought I would upload some videos I have taken over the last little bit. Enjoy!
Mikayla reciting one of her favorite Nursery Rhymes: Jack and Jill
Does anyone remember the Hamster Dance craze? Well, Rita and Steve were so kind as to send Mikayla a card with the song it for her birthday. We have been listening to it ever since then!
Every kid should know how to make mud pies. Here is Mikayla making her specialty!
Who doesn’t love a good tea party in the pool?
Another fun dancing video of my child. She is a dancing fool and loves having dance parties!
Another Nursery Rhyme – Little Miss "Muffin"
The Three Little Pigs as told by Mikayla
When trying to teach Mikayla to skip I told her to step and then hop, which is what I always told my students. It worked for my students, but clearly my literal child did not catch on!
I have some more videos to post soon!
As promised, here are some videos from our Olympic games!
Beginning of marathon…
And the end of the marathon!
Hurdles!
Long jump!
It seems like almost everyday Mikayla “learns” something new. One week it was how to pull out the electrical outlet covers (if you missed that video on Ben’s blog check it out here). Another week it was moving from the “worm” to actually crawling. It never ceases to amaze me all the things she knows how to do.
Most recently Mikayla has learned to clap her hands. It is so stinking cute (I will admit I am a little biased, but what mom isn’t?). Add in her cute personality with the clapping and she is just the cutest thing ever! I can’t tell you how many times she does something and Ben and I look at her and say, “Could she be any cuter?”
In addition to clapping, she is pulling up on things like crazy. She has been doing this for some time now, but is pretty consistent with getting up and down at this point. She even “cruises” along after she pulls up a bit. It is crazy. Growing like a weed I tell, growing like a weed!
