23 Month Update - Mila



Hard to believe that we only have one more month left with a one year old!

We've been super busy this month with trips to both Kansas and Chicago within two weeks of each other.


First we went to Kansas to surprise my mom for her birthday and made the rounds to see two of Mila's great grandmas.





Then we came home for a week and then left for Chicago where Mila was a flower girl in a wedding of one of my closest friends!



She did great at the wedding and was the hit of the party at the reception afterwards, where we couldn't keep her off the dance floor!

While in Chicago we went to a Cubs baseball game, Mila included, and I can't figure out why we didn't take her sooner!  She LOVED baseball and was so excited every time someone hit the ball.  She would dance between batters and innings and went crazy every time a home run was hit.



Signature Moves: Anytime the phone rings Mila will run over, pick it up and put it to her ear and say "woah" (hello).  She also also started clenching her fists and shaking a little, which I can only think means she's mad. It usually only lasts for about 10 seconds though!  She loves to pretend that she is going "night night," only to then bounce up and shout "awake!"  Overall, she just loves being silly!






Current Words: Mila is now at the point where she is repeating pretty much everything we say (luckily nothing inappropriate yet!).  Whatever the last word of your sentence is is the word she will try to say so she no longer really answers questions, just mimics you!

She has started saying "thank you" on her own at appropriate times and "love you" when you say it to her, which is just as adorable as you can imagine.  

Favorite Activities: She has been much more into books, both reading and coloring, this month than months past.  



The two trips on the airplanes gave her quite some time to get used to the iPad and it's amazing how quickly she learned what to do and how to navigate through the different apps.  Anything outside keeps her entertained as well.
