So yesterday being Father’s Day I thought I’d get you up to speed with what Mya is doing. After all, she is the one that makes it possible for me to celebrate this holiday! She’s just over 13 months now! New words are finding their way into her vocabulary, she is now taking more and more steps by herself, and she’s now a certified daddy’s girl. I’m not exactly sure what that means, but she is definitely a daddy’s girl. Maybe she really means it when she looks up at me with her arms outstretched and lets out a little cry or maybe she’s far more advanced and she’s workin’ ol’ dad over in hopes for that new car when she turns 16. I guess I’ll never know the answer to that one, but I’m just going to sit back and enjoy the ride! She’s experiencing new firsts every single day and testing the boundaries of her independence. No longer does she want to be fed, no no! She’s insisting on feeding herself whether its a peach, a banana, a pancake or even yesterday’s snow cone. Forget the Gerber stages, she’s moved on to the real deal! So anyway I thought I’d share a few pictures with you, including this first one which probably is my favorite. This one goes back to the beginning and was taken at the hospital just two days after she was born!

Here she is showing off her new ability of standing and drinking at the same time!

And here she is in her new swimming pool!
