Yummy!

Melia's Cake!

Talking, almost walking!

Melia is getting so big! She is wanting to talk and I swear says a new word every day! She can say night night, ball, buh bye, ma ma, da da, and tries to say doggie (da) and milk (mi). She also tries to communicate with signs that we've been teaching her. She signs milk, more, eat, doggie, music, all done, please (sort of) and bath (sort of). We've been practicing walking and some days it seems like she's ready to take off and others like her legs are rubber... things seem like they're headed toward 1 nap a day too... Melia is also officially an exclusive sippy cup user as of today!

Melia's First Doll

She's excited!


"I like this baby!"


Look at the Baby!

Melia's Birthday was a first in many ways.
Great-Grandma and Grandpa R gave Melia her first doll.

Melia's First "Cake"

Melia had a pumpkin muffin with cream cheese frosting for dinner last night... I'll post a video of everyone singing Happy Birthday to Melia once Blogger works out its tech issues!

Slideshow!

These pics include Halloween... Happy Fall!

SO BIG!

Melia is getting crazier and cuter every day! She can stand by herself for about 20 seconds, is climbing on EVERYTHING and scoots around on furniture. She really wants to walk but it still might be awhile before she can balance well enough! She turns 11 months old on Saturday. Man, time flies! Here are some videos of her being a big girl:

She LOVES taking a bath. It's the start of her bedtime routine. Bath, Jammies, Story, Song, Blankie and Sleep (sometimes a teensy bit of fussing since who would want to go to bed?)



Here's Melia "walking"

Visiting the "Cousins"

Here's Melia at Aunt Allyson & Uncle Scotty's with the "cousins" Copper and Ranger!


Playing Ball!


3 puppies?


Your tongue tickles!


Ranger has always been super interested in Melia. The first time she was over he kept going to her, especially when she was off taking her nap and was away from "the rest of the flock."
