I have so much to caught up on...Miley and Daddy's first overnight without Mommy, first trip to the zoo, teething, potty training, Miley's independence level, her new language, etc. So first things first:
At the beginning of the month I had an overnight conference in Montgomery. Miley and Daddy had 36 hours without Mommy that was suppose to be a breeze. Daddy's one and only mistake...he decided to stay home with Miley instead of going to work and taking her to daycare. I guess he thought it would be an easy day. Well by 10 am, he called. "Why doesn't Miley and Daisy ever sit still?! I just found Miley playing in the toilet and Daisy drinking out of it!" My response..."You mean you didn't go to work?" Also during this time Miley was really teething so she had runny stool up to three times a day. So around 3, he called again. "Why does she keep pooping, I almost puked last time?" My response..."You meant to stay home for work?!" After those two calls things were under control. They did just fine but I like to tease him a little for thinking work was harder ;). Needless to say the next morning he went to work and Miley went back to school.
We went to the New Orleans zoo on Sunday but I want to save this post for next time so I can upload photos.
Teething is almost over this time around!!! Miley's bottom two molars are all the way out. The upper two are about 3/4ths the way. Those babies are HUGE and so pearly white!!! I think (knock on wood) the 5 am screaming fits are over. Teething really stinks!
Potty training is going pretty good, she's pooped on her potty all week. So proud but still not pushing her too hard.
Miley's independence level has got to be equal to that of a 2 year old. She wants to do EVERYTHING herself. She wants to put on her socks and shoes, get her own snack from the pantry, hold her own fork or spoon, she wants to hold Daisy's leash, push her own buggy on the sidewalk, sit in a booster seat at restaurants (we've noticed her throwing fits in a high chair, tried the booster and bang happy toddler), and she wants to drink out of a cup with a straw because that's how Momma and Dada do it. If you try to help her with some of these things like the shoes or fork, she prys your fingers off of it or throws a fit. I tried to help her push her little Winnie the Pooh car and she literally grabbed my index finger and tried pulling it off the handle. Last night she wanted a bit of my tuna fish because she ate all of hers and she kept trying to grab the fork out of my hand. She's growing up so fast...but on a positive note she does like to help put all her toys away and help unload the dishwasher. Last night she was handing me the clean spoons one at a time and each time said "Tank ew" (Miley talk for Thank you).
I would say starting on Monday, Miley has developed a new "trick" that is sooooooooo cute words cannot describe it. For a little back reference Stephen and I have never talked "baby talk" to Miley. I guess we're just not those kind of people, we've always talked to her normally like she understands. So anyway Miley has now begun to "baby talk" to her dolls. It is so sweet to hear her little voice get higher in pitch and her babbling like you would a baby. She points at the baby's face and says something like "ah baaabeeee ah boo gaaa boo" then holds it really close just gently patting it's back. So cute I cannot stand it! We have to got to find a way to post a video with sound on here!
Zoo post coming next!!!
