In Him We are One: Miss Michayla Update

Not a day goes by that I am not amazed at how fast Michayla is growing and how delightful she is to us!! We are so thankful to have her in our lives! She is learning and developing and changing daily. Her vocabulary is growing by leaps and bounds. Some of her most regular words are: mama, mom, papa, tio(a), abuelo(a), Alejandra, niño(a), water, agua, juice, milk, banana, tortilla, cheerios, fruta, pelota, down, duck, patito, Biper (a christian cartoon) hola, diaper (and poopy), no, umbrella, eyes, nose, hot, shoes and moto, in addition to making lots of animal noises and imitating us regularly. She still uses sign language, but is using it less as she learns the words. She shares something in common with Aunt Cate: she always seems to have something small and special in her hands (as you`ll notice in the pictures). (= Often a lip gloss or just a little item she thinks is special. She also loves to play and hide in little hidden places and corners. She loves to go to work or go do errands with Papa. She has her whole group of "friends" at the car wash, mini supermarket and caseta he often takes her to. Her love of water has not changed as well! Her bath times, and basically any splash in the water continues to be a favorite activity. She asks regularly for us to put music on for her (she asks by raising her hands and dancing a little). These are just a few things Michayla likes to do. We love her personality, her laugh, her sense of humor and her cuddles. She is a blessing to us!
