Myla 1 year old!

Myla Avolene has changed so much in the last 3 months! After she started crawling at 9.5 months, she got really fast so quickly. She started crawling up stairs at 10 months, and just after she turned one she's been the energizer battery, walking everywhere just because she can. Her favorite place to walk seems to be in the middle of the road and right in front of swings. 

She loves following her sisters around, pulling things out of drawers, waving to people, and carrying things around in both hands and in her mouth too. She loves snuggling her blanket in her bed, feeding herself, turning the page while reading books, ripping up tissues, bath time with her sisters, and tickles. She doesn't like people touching her hands, grass, sleeping past 6;30 am, wearing shoes, and getting her nose wiped. 

She eats more than all of us right now. She loves all food except cheese so far. She's 50th percentile in height, weight, and head- which means she's growing bigger since she was in the 30th. My hypothesis is she's about to go through a growth spurt with how much she's eating.

Myla has an iron grip- our family has an unspoken agreement that you have to REALLY want/need whatever it is in her hand to go through the trouble of trying to wrestle it out of her hands. Then you have to be ready to give her something else immediately to attach on to. Her hair is getting thick and long. It grows straight forward, so it's a good challenge to keep it out of her face so we can see how adorable she is.

This is her on her Birthday

She loved her presents. She had a hard time tearing herself away from this little piano.

Myla's sisters were so excited to help her open her gifts

and help her play with them.

Sorry Myla! We almost lost Grandma Ber on your Birthday, so we did donuts instead of a homemade cake. You didn't seem to mind, and ate half of it before we even finished singing "Happy Birthday" to you! 

We love you to the moon Myla Avolene!!
