Mylie on the go!

We got to have Mylie for a few days. She was so much fun, and she is such a happy little girl!
I am really excited because she is starting to add the correct word to her signs. (One of these days I am going to have to try to take pictures of her doing her signs.)
Mylie doesn't sit still for anything, the second you set her down she is on the run. You ask her to come here and she is off running the other direction. You go after her and she is off running the other direction. She is starting to get better about holding our hand when we are walking, but the second we stop she can't wait to let go.
One of her favorite things to do is dance. And boy does she have the moves. She will snap her fingers, sway back and forth, and stomp her feet. She steals the show where ever we go.
She likes to say Hi to everyone where ever we go. She can tell the people who pay attention to her and the ones that don't. When someone is paying attention to her, her greeting is hands over the eyes for peekaboo, and when they are not paying attention to her she says HI over and over until she can get their attention.
Her hair is getting really long and it gets curlier every day, I can never decide whether her hair is cuter in pigtails or down and curly.
If you couldn't tell, we love this little girl like crazy, and wanted to share a little about her.

Her new ride!


Folding her arms and bowing her head for prayer.

Watching American Idol. She was very intrigued by the horrible singing.




I missed the shot I wanted. The second right before this she had both of her arms out too while balancing on her head.

The new "crocks" that Grandma Wilma bought her.

Return of the Jedi

Mylie just had to have my sweater on.
Hubs thought that she looked like a Jedi.



Getting Dressed

Mylisa likes to try to dress herself.
She has got the main idea of that her head is supposed to go through the hole, as you can see.

Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow 4 inches!

When we got up early this morning it was snowing, but  Hubs  thought he would try to go to work anyway. He got a few miles and the car wouldn't make it and he couldn't get past all the jack-knifed cars and trucks. So he turned around and came home. He has spent most of his day working from home, but we did manage to find some time to play in the snow. We decided to take a walk and then when we got back we decided to build a snowman. The snow was so powdery and dry that it was really hard to pack the snow, it would fall apart almost immediately. We also ended up in a snowball fight, or more like snow throwing fight since the snow wouldn't pack very well.

Mylsia at 18 months.

We can hardly believe Mylie is now 18 months old. She is so darn smart. (I think we can say that because she isn't our own child.) She is really good at using her sign language correctly and she is really good at copying words. Our favorite words that she says are..."Googill" (Goodgirl), "ayou" (thankyou), "bye-bye", and the best "No No".
We found Mylisa sleeping this way one night. We didn't think it looked very comfotable with her foot sticking through the bars.

I just found these really cute striped tights and thought she looked so cute in them.
