My Little Bookworm

Mya has always loved books.  We started reading to her the day that she came home from the hospital.  Having been a teacher, this was so important to me.  It has really payed off!  Her language skills are just so incredible and now she loves books!  This morning, I was helping Ryder move a huge, heavy shelf into our room that he had put so much time into putting together and I looked and saw Mya doing this:

It took all that I had not to drop the shelf and run and get the camera.  😉  When we had the shelf in our room though, that’s what I did.  She just looked so relaxed and content.  That doesn’t happen too often.  She is so high energy.  I took her to a little gym place this morning to try it out and one mom said, “Wow, she sure is active!”  All of the other moms/nannies were watching her and laughing because she was so insanely hyper!!  Oh my gosh, she really wears me out!  But I love her and she keeps me going even when I would give anything to lay down for one second.  lol

By the way, see those pictures on her wall behind her bed?  I got that idea from this lady.  She’s kind of a genius.  Okay, she is, and I love looking at her site.  If you’ve never seen it, check it out.  She has so many great ideas and not to mention, she’s a phenomenal photographer!  I have been into photography for a long time, since I was a teenager, but after seeing some of her work, that is when I said, “I”m going to DO that!”  And I did.  🙂

And yes, I know, more pictures of Mya.  These New Yorkers sure are hard to book!  It will happen….one day!

Memorial Weekend

This weekend we had so much fun checking out new parks and places around our neighborhood.  I had no idea that so many playgrounds in NY have sprinklers.  So cool!  Mya is in love with them too.  It was a hot weekend so thank goodness for all of the cool water!  Hope everyone had a nice, relaxing Memorial Weekend!!  I feel so revived.  Ryder and I even took a nap yesterday while Mya was napping.  We never, ever do that.  I almost felt like we were on vacation!  Ahhhh…now back to the daily grind.  😉

Little Bear

Mya has become totally obsessed with the children’s show called Little Bear.  She has to watch it every morning.  There are 3 segments in each episode and each time a new one starts she has to run up to me or Ryder and yell, “Another one!!”  😉  The other day she was so into it that she wouldn’t even look at me or acknowledge me when I spoke to her.  It was kind of scary.  I had to get a picture of this to remember that TV really can rot your brain!  lol  (For those of you bored of pictures of Mya, so sorry!  Still waiting to book some clients in NY.  🙁  I’ve only been here a week but I’m dying to get back to work.  During Mya’s nap, I usually edit photos for clients, but right now all I do is surf the web.  There’s only so much you can look at on-line before your brain rots too!)

It’s Shower Time

This morning while I was getting ready, Mya started playing in our shower curtain.  She was all wrapped up in it laughing hysterically to herself.  I had to run and get the camera.  Right now with the move, she doesn’t have a lot of toys here yet until the movers come tomorrow so it’s nice to see her having fun regardless!

What a Cutie

So yesterday my friend Brandy and I traded little mini sessions.  It was rather difficult.  It had to be one of the windiest days ever!!  So that made it hard for her to do pictures for me since my hair didn’t want to stay out of my face!  And by the time we got to her son, he was over it and ready to go home.  But I got some cute ones anyways because he’s just so easy and smiles when the camera is pointed at him.  Wow, must be nice to have a child like that!  Hope you like these Brandy!  We will miss you guys very much!
