My Little Daredevil

Friday, May 28th, 2010

Mikayla recently got a plastic slide from her grandparents.  She likes to climb on it more than she does slide!  As you can see from the video below she inherited her father’s adventurous spirit.  Another one of her favorite things to do is to pick up random objects and walk around with them.  She has become quite the little thief!  Here is a short video of her over the last few weeks!

In Case You Haven’t Heard…

Is WALKING!

2010-03-02 Chef, spaghetti 151

Check her out on Ben’s blog here.

By far the coolest milestone she has met thus far.  I am not sure why it was so exciting, but it was!  In case you can’t tell by the video, Ben and I are more excited than Mikayla about the fact that she is walking.  She still prefers to crawl, but is gaining more confidence each day with her walking.

**FYI – Her diaper is so large because it is a night time diaper.  Daytime diapers are not this "fluffy"!

The best toys…

Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

The best toys are not ones that you buy at the store and make a lot of noise.  The best toys are not ones that cost a lot of money.  The best toys are not the ones you (as the parent) choose as your favorite. 

No, the best toys are what you would least likely expect them to be.  They are items that you already have on hand or items that cost little.  Some of Mikayla’s favorite toys have been things like pots and spoons or magazines or containers of Puff’s.  This weekend we spent time with some dear friends in Tallahassee (see this post for more information) and Mikayla found a new toy…a laundry basket.  Who knew laundry baskets could be so much fun!  She liked to put things in it and then promptly take them out.  She enjoyed being dragged around their apartment while sitting in the laundry basket. 

Then she got the bright idea to stand up behind the laundry basket and try her hand at walking up and down the hallway pushing it.  She was really moving.  Check her out:

 

How cute is she?  Let’s take a poll…will she be walking by her first birthday (April 28)?
