Frank is back!

Frank went away to Kansas City for some training with Mazda from Monday the 8th to Fri the 12th. Mya and I really missed him and are so grateful that he returned safely to us. Having him away for an extended period of time makes me realize just how much he really helps out when he's here. I have a new appreciation for everything he does. When he was gone, the break that I got when he got home from work was not available. By the time he got home, I was exhausted. But aside from what he does around the house and the help with Mya, I just plain missed his company. I'm ashamed to admit that I felt so lonely sleeping by myself that I took Mya out of her crib to sleep with me. That probably wasn't good for her sleeping habits being that we're trying to get her to sleep in her own crib. Fortunately it didn't seem to really affect her negatively. She took right back to sleeping in her own crib again. In fact, I dare say she prefers it. Thank goodness for that!

Look what Mya is doing now!

I can't believe our little baby is growing so fast! She'll be 9 mo on Jun 17. In the past month she started crawling and man is she quick! We really have to keep an eye on her now, she's all over the place! She also started drinking from her sippy cup a few weeks ago. She can't quite sit up but she's really working hard at it. About half way up she needs a little nudge to make it the rest of the way. Mya is also making movements that look almost like clapping, it's a work in progress. She really is just the happiest and most easy going baby I've ever seen. However, she is starting to throw little tantrums and fake cries when we leave the room. She's getting smart about how to work mom and dad over. I'm convinced she's been doing this for a while but Frank and I are just now catching on. That sly little cutie.
