Our Crazy Chic...

As I mentioned before, Mylie is a fan of the head shake. It’s been hilarious to see her incorporate this new sensation into her little life… like jumping for example…



Isn’t she a crack-up?? Today I am so grateful for Mylie. For the crazy chic she is and for all the joy and happiness she brings into my life. She is spunky, to say the least, and she sure is a lot of fun! I love that she has a passion for life already… maybe not a passion for moving around… but a passion for life!  She loves to make noise and above all… loves attention! I can’t wait until she can talk…because I’m sure she has a lot of funny things to say!

I’m so grateful for the blessing of motherhood…it’s a lot of work… but it’s the most meaningful job on earth! I feel so fortunate for this fun little spirit in my home. She has taught me so much and continues to teach me about love, compassion, patience, the gospel and hard work every single day. She is my joy! I can’t wait for what the future holds for our little family.

Just a few more things that I love about Mylie:
- the way she smiles when she first sees me in the morning
- the way she chuckles when you say "naked baby" when she's all wrapped up in her towel after a bath
- the famous head shake
- for the way she loved my spaghetti when she tried it for the first time (yesterday)
- for the excitement she has when her Dad comes home from work
- for the times when she just needs her Mom
- how she loves Tink and laughs every time she walks by
- for her love of music and the constant noise she makes around the house
- that she loves outings and is a little busy body (we'll see if I feel this way when she's crawling!) :)
- how angelic she looks when she's sound asleep
- her cute little dimply bum
- that she's amused by the little things in life-- like wind in her face, leaves blowing on trees and the feel of grass
- the light that she has in her eyes when she smiles
- that she usually cooperates in the mornings when I go to our clubhouse to workout
- the way she smiles and listens when she talks to her Dad on the phone
- the "crazy" times when she's rolling around and screeching and going insane for no apparent reason
- when she attacks me with an open mouth trying to eat my face
- her innocence
- that she would rather be shopping than at home! :)
- that she doesn't mind when I'm the paparazzi-- and even "works it" when the camera comes out
- the progess she makes everyday, both big and small
- how much she loves you right next to her side, playing with her and rolling around with her ( I know there will come a day when that won't be the case!)
- the appreciation that she has given us for our parents
- how much of her Dad I can see in her
- that she makes life so fun and enjoyable
- that she reminds me of the immense love that our Father in Heaven has for each of us

The list can go on and on... I just love my little Mylie Anne..

Aren't you the cutest little mom ever. I'm so happy for you and have honestly never seen you so happy. Mylie is absolute hoot in the video, looks like you have a little dancer on your hands.

Oh my!!! She is hilarious! She is dancing, jumping and shaking all at the same time. I just love it!! I can't to see her in action.

I love that you love motherhood. You inspire me to look for the good each day.

Becca you were right when you said Mylie is a crack head like her mother!!!! I love it!!! It's only fitting that should happen. It looks like Mylie is going to take off when she starts moving... maybe even fly! She has it going on! You are a sweet mom... just like moms should be, I am glad you love your little one and have those MOMMY type of feelings for her... it's fun watching.. LOVE YOU!

That is the funniest thing I have EVER seen. I used to jump in the "Johnny Jumper" when I was a babe. You should ask my mom about it. I believe it is why my calves are HUGE. Thanks mom. I love that new and improved jumper. She is a riot. I just love her and I just love you so much and appreciate everything you are to me as a sister.
