As all of you that read my posts know, I ADORE Mireya. I am always saying how cute she is and how much I love her. I have probably bragged about how she is the best baby ever nine hundred times, but it’s TRUE! Just when I think that she really can’t get any more amazing and adorable, she does.
I really need to get some new videos up of her talking. She says a lot of words that other toddlers say, but it’s the way Mireya says them that makes them so incredibly cute. In my last post I mentioned that Mireya says “NO” a lot more. She says it with this little sassy attitude, which almost always makes me laugh. My favorite right now though, has to be what she calls bunnies. They are currently her favorite thing in the entire world and the few stuffed bunnies she has, she takes with her everywhere. She sees a bunny, points to it and says, “BUN!” She says it with so much enthusiasm. “Mama, BUN!” Not bunny, just bun.
Mireya has finally learned how to climb onto things. Jason and I have done our best to prolong that specific milestone, because it just opens up a whole new can of worms and challenges for us. Mireya, of course, couldn’t be more excited. Now she can climb up onto the couches whenever she wants, he can try to climb up our cat castle thing, she tries to climb everything now. There are two major problems with that. One, she can now reach even more things that she shouldn’t be playing with, and two, she doesn’t get the danger of falling off of something. She keeps trying to jump off the couches and she is oblivious to the fact that she will get hurt if she does.
Mireya has gotten really good at drinking out of a cup. She still spills one out of every five glasses, but heck, so do I. 
However, she now wants to have a drink out of every glass she sees. I remember how she stole other people’s lemonades at her friends birthday party. Today, she got a hold of my coffee. No, she didn’t drink any, she just spilled it all over me and the couch.
At least her potty training is going pretty well. She still doesn’t really ask to go potty, we just have to catch her in the act, but it’s getting better. I am so happy that it isn’t as hard as I thought it was going to be. It’s still frustrating sometimes, but it’s not too bad.
Mireya surprises me all the time. I took her for a walk down to get the mail the other day and I let her hold my keys on the way back. We got back to the front door and she tried to stick a key in the lock! She has been paying attention when I do it, I guess. After we got inside she ran into the kitchen and started to throw a fit. I was like, “What? What’s wrong? Why are you freaking out?” I asked if she was hungry and got an emphatic, “NO” and then she yelled, “DEESHES! DEESHES!” I couldn’t believe it, but my one and a half year old was asking me if she could do the dishes. Sure enough, when I opened the dishwasher, she jumped up and down and yelled, “YAY! DEESHES!” I can only hope her enthusiasm for doing dishes lasts through her teenage years.
Now can you honestly tell me that this isn’t the face of the cutest kid ever? She’s marvelous and boy does she LOVE her dark chocolate!
