Hiccups
Miley has always been prone to hiccups even in the womb. She always gets them when she laughs really hard. It's really cute but if she doesn't grow out of them, they will give her away. You know if she and another kid are giggling in class and the teacher asks "Who's making all the noise?". The hiccups will give her away. So yesterday Miley was laughing from the tickle monster aka Daddy and got the hiccups. Well every time she hiccuped, she would cover her mouth and say " 'xuse me". It was so cute but unfortunately for her, she had the hiccups for 20 minutes and each time felt the need to 'xuse herself. Must be a daycare thing :)

100th Post
This is the 100th post!! I was hoping to have something really good ready for this post but alas I don't so I'll just take you through our weekend.
Friday--When I picked Miley up from daycare she was playing in the baby room (aka the Turtles). She was showing a 4 month old baby boy how to play catch and showing another 4 month old how to push a toy piano's buttons so it would play. It was so cute!! On the way home Miley got suddenly quiet and then puked all over her carseat. FYI that carseat was mission impossible to take apart and then put back together. She seemed fine at home so we went to Chili's with friends. As soon as we sat down at the table Miley puked up a very large amount of undisgested peaches (must have been snack). We thought about leaving but once I cleaned her up in the bathroom and brought her back to the table she was happy and hungry. Puking session was over.
Saturday--Got up early about 8 (Miley usually sleeps in until 9), ate breakfast, drank some prune juice and went to the park with one of my co-workers and her 8 year old son. They played for awhile until the prune juice kicked in and Mommy realized she didn't have any wipes (FUN). We went home for clean pants and then went to the library to rent a new Elmo video because the one she has is driving Mommy and Daddy crazy. She picked out "Elmo loves you", "The best of Cookie Monster", and "Kung Fu Panda". She really loves pandas, that's my girl. Once she had her movies, we went upstairs so I could get a disney vacation book. Miley was very well behaved just walking and carrying her 3 dvds. I was browsing the books when she dropped the dvds and YELLED "I got it, I got it". I tried to help her and she said "No mommy, I got it, I got it". Everyone just started laughing, she probably wasn't yelling but the library is so quiet and sound carries. We then waited in line to check out (Miley hates waiting) and that's when she threw her fit. She was screaming and kicking because she wanted to run around. By the time we actually checked out I was sweating. We went home and watched the movies.
Sunday--Prune juice still working. Monkey climbed on top of the kitchen table again while I was in the bathroom. She climbed up there and was eating cheetos. While I was on the computer, she handed me her diaper and ran out of the room butt naked. I had to chase her down then hold her down to get a new one on. She had a diaper rash at this point because of the prune juice working so well that she just had enough of it. By bedtime we were all exhasted but really enjoyed our 2 short days together.

Little Monkey
Miley has been a climbing machine lately. She climbs on the coffee table, on the couches, the recliner and unfortunately now on the kitchen table (it's counter height). Today the monkey (Miley) climbed the kitchen chair to get to her crayons and fell. I don't know from what height because I didn't see her up there just heard a crash and then crying. She stopped crying right away but I noticed she bite her lip OUCH!!! Monkey is doing fine now, she's watching her beloved Elmo and eating her favorite snack. Wanna take a guess on the snack?.......a banana of course. Remember when she couldn't walk? I barely remember but now she climbs and RUNS (faster than I do even).

The no doctor streak is over
The long streak of healthy Miley has been broken. I had to take her in on Saturday for a really nastly looking rash behind her right ear. Turns out it was impetigo so we got antibotics and a skin cream. Little miss now weighs a wooping 25 lbs 4 oz and is 33 inches tall. She eats like a horse but because she's so active she's a light weight. Wish I had that problem. The rash has already cleared up and it really doesn't seem to bother her.
Swimming lessions ended well, we didn't have any more difficult days so the last few Daddy skipped on joining the fun. She learned to hold her breathe and to spit the water out if she got any in her mouth. Before she would try to drink the pool, nasty.
Miley's language skills have DRAMATIC improved over the last few weeks. We understand her about 80% of the time. She is learning so fast. Potty training is about the same but I haven't really been pushing it. We're going to Disney World in October and I'm thinking diapers would be easier than finding a bathroom every 30 minutes.
Since we are going to Disney, we're rented some classics for Miley to watch. Nothing, I mean nothing, catches her attention more than her beloved Elmo. We have a Best of Elmo DVD and she'll watch all 45 minutes of it TWICE without moving an inch. I wish she loved Mickey over Elmo but you can't choose who you fall in love with :). She really enjoyed Nemo and the Little Mermaid. We were all loving Aladdin but the DVD stopped working right at the parade with Prince Alli. We were all bumped, we rented it from the library and that's the only copy. We'll have to just go out and buy some of these. Every afternoon while Daddy cooks and Mommy cleans up, she watches Mickey's Clubhouse so she knows and loves the Mouse and gang.

Swim Classes
Miley and I started our 2 week "Mommy and Me" swim class at the Y last night. So how did it go? Let's just put it this way...Daddy will now be going with us to the classes. Why? Last night Miley screamed and cried for 30 minutes in the ladies locker room after the class. She was ready to go but I needed to get her and myself dried and changed. It was awful. The class itself was okay but the instructor gave the kids pool toys before class so Miley screamed and pitched a fit anytime you tried to take the toy and have her practice something. The instructor also said to me "Oh just tell her whatever command works at home so she'll listen to you" Listen to me????? She's a toddler, she doesn't listen to me. Her favorite game is do the opposite of what crazy mommy's talking about. So now Daddy will now be attending because she doesn't act that way with him. I really hope tonight goes a lot better or we'll be swim class drop outs.
