The one thing you always wanted to hear

About a week ago Miley started saying the most wonderful thing I've ever heard in my entire life. Nothing will ever be as powerful as the four little words that come out of her mouth...."I love you, mommy". So sweet, so simple, yet so unbelievably powerful. She also says "I love you, dada" and the ever popular "I love you, panda". Panda is a stuffed animal that Stephen and my friend Melissa got me for my birthday oh 7 years ago, he's name is the Real McCoy. Anyway, Miley loves panda and she always tells him :) Words will never express the joy we felt the first time our sweet baby said "I love you". We love you too sweet angel :)

Stephen has now also been upgraded from dada to Dadeeeee. She has also suddenly started forming 3 to 4 word sentences. She can say "Me want one" (for a snack), "Want my beep beep" (wants a bike ride), "Want my bup" (that's cup in Miley talk), "Want my bop" (that's boppy or pillow in Miley), "No mommy move" (when she wants me to move), and others but I can't think. I love hearing her tell me things sometimes I understand and sometimes we have no clue but it is all so cute. Oh and for the last month or so whenever you ask her a question or tell her to do something she ALWAYS ALWAYS says "Huh??".

How quickly things change

So it's been forever again since I blogged, whatever I guess that's how I roll now. Anyway, this post is about the month of June in review.

Miley is now a butterfly. She's moved up again and I have to say that we all LOVE this classroom. The last one was blah because the teachers had a lot going on personally so I never knew what was going on during the day to day. The new teachers are very nice and prepare a more structured day. They do arts and crafts, read, sing songs, have playtime, and still have the nap time of coarse. Miley seems to like it but she still cries every morning when I drop her off. She is literally over it within 60 seconds, she puts on the show just for me I guess.

The top k9 teeth have pushed through so she's only got the bottom 2 and her back 4 molars left. Even with the teething, she's been sleeping wonderfully at night (knock on wood). She has been chewing and putting things in her mouth again but she seems content.

Potty training.....what potty training? We've lost her on this, she doesn't tell us when she needs to go anymore. This just won't be one of the things she does early. Speaking of early, I PRAY we are in the peak of the terrible twos. I would say we're up to 2 or 3 kicking, screaming, slapping, fits a day. Mainly when she wants something and she's tired, hot, or hungry. Yesterday I got slapped a few times in the face when she had one said fit at Target because she wanted to ride a 26" bicycle and didn't understand why she couldn't. Fun times but it will end someday right?

Yesterday was Stephen's second Father's Day!! Miley got him a nice card, a new grill (actually got that last month), and two bicycles. Stephen put a baby seat on his bike and we all went for a ride. Miley loved it!!! I'm glad I told him to put her seat on his because I wanted them to have a bonding thing and also he has the extra 25 lbs :).

One last update, as of yesterday afternoon I'm no longer mama. I am now affectionately known as "mameeeee". So very very very sweet and cute that it almost (I said almost) made me forget about being slapped. Oh and I almost forgot...yesterday we were playing on the floor and Stephen faked bite her. Yeah, she punched him in the nose!!! Our self defense workshop worked!! It was a full fisted right upper cut, you go girl!!

Hole in One

Last night we went putt putt golfing with my brother and his girlfriend. I think the last time we went I was 3 days away from delivering Miley. Anyway, Miley carried a little club and golf ball around but wasn't to interested in playing. Finally at hole number 10, Sam (brother's girlfriend) helped Miley tee off and they made a hole in one!!!! Beginners luck or the new female Tiger Woods, you decide.

In other Miley news, we bought her a Tinkerbell toddler bedding set. It came with a fitted sheet, a regular sheet that is fit on the bottom so she can't pull it up, a comforter and a pillow case. She doesn't sleep with a pillow quite yet but it is all really cute. It fit perfectly on her crib mattress and she LOVES it. When anyone comes over she happily shows off her new Tink bedding. I'm not allowed to touch it however. It is always a "No, mama, move!" Aw the abuse I get, oh well.

This week is Miley's last week as a Frog, next week she's a beautiful butterfly. Another bonus is that her week tution goes down $5! It's still $8 more a week from last year and I'm sure the fee will go up again soon but I'll just bank that 5 dollars as long as I can.
