sweet mila

May 2011 - Mila is 21 months old. I can't believe she's nearly two! She recently started role playing. Every day now she finds her baby and takes care of her - feeding her, rocking her, putting her to sleep (she even closes the blinds and curtains so the room is dark). She brings her over to me to hug and love on when the baby cries.


Mila's so thoughtful of others, too. She's concerned about Kapria and always pays attention to what her sister needs. If anyone in the family gets hurt, she runs over to kiss you. If someone's upset, she gives you a hug. Most times if the kids are fighting over a toy, she'll give it to the person who wants it rather than keep it for herself.

She loves listening to music, especially Tarzan (still) and SteveSongs. Now she asks every night for me to sing her a Tarzan song at bedtime.

She's warming up to animals now and loves to pet Oso, my parents' dog. Except one day he accidentally backed up into her and knocked her over, so her newfound love for him waivered for a few hours and she'd run away.

She loves coloring. At this age, Kapria didn't really care about it, and she still is only interested in it for a few minutes before she wanders to something else. But Mila could color for an entire hour before getting bored.

She got a new tooth - her lower right incisor (finally)!

She loves talking. She's started adding "uh" on the end of words and sentences: "sippy cupp-uh," "kiss-uh," "two-uh," "help-uh." You get the idea.

Favorite things to say:
"I want a minty"
"Kappy!"
"I wanta color."
"I need helpa!"
"My baby."

We love our Mila Bean!
