Mila's First Birthday

Today is Mila's first birthday. I can't believe how fast this last year went by. Mila's birthday party is on Saturday so today was pretty uneventful as far birthday festivities go. We didn't even get her a present to unwrap on her actual birthday. She did get to blow out a candle that was in her french toast at breakfast. We have been teaching her to blow so she would be able to blow out her candle, and she did it on the first try.

Here is an update of Mila's first year.

She says: baba, baby, num num, here, no, mom, mama, dada, and one time she said thank you.

She has started to take steps, so far about 8 consecutive is her record.

Mila can wave hello, goodbye, and point no no.

She loves to munch on ice, and she will throw a fit to get yours.

Mila's favorite food is chicken noodle soup.

We are so blessed to have such a sweet spirit in our home. Mila has been so much fun to watch grow and learn. Her personality is really starting to come out, and she is so much like Carter. How we ended up with two crazy goof balls, I don't know. But we wouldn't trade any of our kids for the world.

This is a picture of Leah and her dog Kenya. Leah asked if I would put ribbons on her dog just like hers.

On a complete side note... I laugh every time I think about this...

The other day when I was taking Carter to school Leah kept sneezing. Then she tells me "Mom I need an allergy pill that won't make me drowsy". I could not stop laughing. It was so funny to hear those words come out of a three year old little girl. Maybe she watches a little too much TV... :)

I wish I would have written down the funny things she says, cause she really keeps us laughing.
