I am officially the worst blogger...

Well, it is official. I am the WORST blogger! I just realized that I had not updated our blog in over 5 months. Instead of trying to go back through everything, I'm going to start fresh!

To start - here is a the most recent photo of our little family!

Myla is now 6 months old (going on 7 in a few short weeks) and I can't believe it. Everyone said time went fast once you became a parent, but I had no idea it would go this quick. I can't even tell you what we've done in the last 6 months and I certainly can't tell you what I did with my time before our little girl came into our lives.

I always knew I wanted to be a parent, but I had no idea how much I would enjoy spending my days with my child!


Every day is a new adventure! Yesterday (4th of July), Myla realized that the little girl in the mirror does the same thing she does. When she gives the baby a kiss - the baby in the mirror kisses her back! It's absolutely adorable. She and I sat on the floor looking in her mirror - I was amazed that 20 minutes could go by and all I can tell you is that I just watched her learn and observe her surroundings.


Speaking of that, she can sit all by herself for a significant period of time and when she tips over - she does it so gracefully! Certainly she didn't get that skill from her mother (I may be the most clumsy person in the world - especially in my younger years!)


A few weekends ago, we traveled to Neillsville to celebrate Ian's grandparents 60th anniversary with a surprise party! Needless to say, Myla was the star of the day and Great Grandpa and Grandma Meier loved showing her off to all of their friends! Myla is such a lucky little girl to have so many great grandparents and grandparents in her life! And to Great Grandpa and Grandma Meier - congrats on 60 years together - that is no small feat! Thank you for being such fabulous role models to the Meier boys (and now to the first Meier girl!)
