At 6:45 I could hear Mya stirring in her room. She was listening to her musical mobile, which she now turns on by herself. I went into her room and sang Happy Birthday, which she just loved. She gave me a huge smile, and didn't even squirm while I changed her diaper. I asked Daddy if he wanted to get up a few minutes early and have a birthday breakfast with us before he headed off to work for the day. He agreed, so I began making blueberry pancakes and warming up some milk. Soon we were all enjoying a family breakfast. Then, much to my shock, Daddy decided to take the day off of work! Hooray!
After our tummies were content, we brought out Mya's present... a baby stroller. She was tickled and spent about 15 minutes pushing it around the house.
Next it was off on our morning walk. Ty rode his bike, Daddy, Nicus, and I walked, and Mya got to ride in comfort. After a short distance, Ty got tired and wanted to head back home, so Daddy and Ty turned around and Mya, Nic, and I continued on our way.
As usual, Mya wanted to get in the river. So I let her wade in and then she spent about 10 or 15 minutes playing in water and "throwing" rocks.
After all that excitement, it was time for a bath and then a well earned nap. Did I forget to mention Otter Pops too? Nothing better than a nice cold Otter Pop to cool you down after a hot walk. And no easier way for mom to clean up after Otter Pops than to just eat them in the tub!
After dinner, Mya had a small snack of chips, courtesy of Daddy.
Don't you just love her face? She really looks like she's enjoying those chips, eh?

So cute, Erin! Loved all the photos and the play by plays. I need to come walk that trail again...that river water looks tempting to me too! Can't wait to see pics of her party. :)
