Independent Baby!

So I know this will come as a big shock, but Mykaela is becoming a super independent little girl. She loves to feed herself and usually won't let you feed her anything, even if she is starving.



Not an issue really, but sometimes (especially with applesauce and mac & cheese) she gets just a little messy. Had to take a pic of it today as she had both :) Then one of her after we washed off in the tub!!




Can't wait to see all the Utah folks this next week - looking for tickets to Colorado to visit the ABCD strong's!!

Oh, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Renee!! Hope you have a great day :)

XOXOXOXO,

Erin, Mike & Myka

Utah over the 4th!

So, Mike found out that he does have the time off, so we will be trecking up north over the fourth! :)
I believe he took the 1st through the 7th off, so we should be up there the 1st or 2nd and staying I would guess until the 7th!
can't wait to see everyone!!!!!!
XOXOXO,
Erin

p.s. today was the first day of summer school that Myka didn't burst into tears when I took her to daycare (hoorray!!)

Summer


So, we made it through the end of the school year!! With the help of my wonderful sister and a few students, I got all of my stuff (and there was a lot) moved into my new room, and because we had a week between the end of spring and start of summer school I was able to clean the new room (and boy it needed it) and get mainly unpacked before the start of summer.
Summer school was a bit of a fiasco at the beginning and while I do have 36 students in biology, it is going ok -- luckily they are a good group of kiddos.

Mike is just working all the time -- this 2 job thing is a bit crazy really!


Myka is doing great (is up to 14 teeth with the last 2 canines working their way in) -- although she is now crying when I take her to daycare :(
She is in the 1-year old room now, and Betty (the teacher in the infant room, who is moving up to the ones) is not there in the summer, so when we went in last week, Myka looked at me like I was crazy for even thinking of leaving her there. New room, new teacher, too much change! At least the kiddos are still the same! She is walking around and playing all the time and doing something new every day -- and at least we are only in summer school Mon-Thurs. So we have had a great three-day weekend! I am adding a few videos of her playing yesterday - she decided that her doll house was a climbing object or a seat for her piano depending :)
Enjoy and love to all!
Erin, Mike and Myka



p.s. hopefully going up to Utah for the 4th, Mike is checking on Monday to see if he definately has the time off! OH, and more pics on the picasa site! :)
