Tommi has a VERY big imagination. I love it so we pretend play a lot and try to make sure she is not embarrassed of playing make believe.
Right now she has "Hugo" her sometimes husband, sometimes just friend. "Arie (are-E)" he is her boyfriend/friend and he is a water boy haha.
The story behind Arie...Tommi was cheering for him while TJ and her were watching a basketball game and TJ said "Does Arie play on the team?" Tommi said "No he brings the players water." Holding back laughter TJ said "So he is the water boy?" Which Tommi proudly said "Yes!"
She is forever "calling" her friends on the phone and making up different things that are going on. It is a blast to watch her mind work!

She is wild...
Miley is a wild child. She wants to be on the go all the time! After walking for almost 2 weeks she is starting to almost run...good God help me! I thought Tommi had a party going on but Miley is a whole different ball game. And honestly I love it!
If I turn my back for too long I will most likely find Miley up on top of something she is not supposed to be...mostly Tommi's kid table which she loves pulling the chairs out and climbing on. So lovely! She seriously has NO fear!
She now can say mama, daddy, ball, kitty, pappy, dean, bye bye, hey, hi, and be-be (blueberry i think). She whispers kitty and pappy, which is too sweet!
She is really good about putting her arms in her jacket and taking them out of the carseat straps when I unbuckle it. If something is in her hands she will switch hands to put that arm through, etc. I'm not sure if this is impressive but I think it is.
She is getting really smart with everyday things. I seriously LOVE watching her discover the world and just normal details I overlook. (I loved this stage with Tommi too)
Miley's new nick name is "Queen of Destruction". She enjoys going up to tables, shelves, anything at her level and clearing it! i.e. My parents coffee table can have nothing on it when she is around. The shoes at Dick's today were not save and as I picked up one 3 more were on the ground...thank God for the stroller.
Bedtime has always been nurse then lay on my chest for a bit to get into a deep sleep. This no longer can be done, I have to be standing and she puts her head on my shoulder...she likes to turn her face in and breathe her sweet breath on my neck. I could hold her like that forever...I love the little cuddle time she gives me. Most of the time she goes into her bed semi-awake or fully awake but sleepy. This is a BIG deal! I still like having her fall asleep on me but it is helpful when she will not do that. Last night she slept from 8-1030 nursed, slept till 230 nursed, then slept from 3-9 (woohoo!) She is not feeling good with a runny nose and yucky cough so this was better than expected.
I wish I knew what she loved so much about my parents house b/c she sleeps well there and pulls 6 hour stretches when we get home.
We will sleep through the night one day. But I'm MUCH happier with our sleep now and I can totally deal. (knock on wood)

update...
I have been so bad about updating.
So much going on...I'll do my best to hit what I can.
Miley at almost 14 months is still not sleeping through the night. She pulled a couple nights in a row of only getting up once (2 six hour stretches) but then before I could even get excited she was back to getting up twice a night (3 four-ish hour stretches) I'm can't complain much b/c I seriously love her so much.
Something has been up with her b/c she is not eating food very well and her falling asleep skills have been "off". Usually she nurses and just goes to sleep then I put her passy in her mouth, let her lay on my chest for a couple mins and then put her in her bed. But recently she is nursing and will fall asleep but as soon as I move her she gets mad and wants to keep nursing. When I have had enough I have to deal with her throwing herself around for a minute till she finally takes her passy. Then she will sometimes go to sleep on my chest but othertimes I have to let her cry in her bed for a couple minutes (which is all it takes for her to fall asleep) Naptime just falls asleep nursing and has no issue so who knows. I'm rollin with the punches b/c this too shall pass.
Miley is a terrible picky eater...worse than Tommi. Basically blueberries, grapes, strawberries, chicken, PB&J, grilled cheese, yogurt, Cheerios, and cereal bars. Which is all still hit and miss...mainly miss this past week.
I don't know what I'm gonna do with Miley sometimes b/c of how adventurous she is sometimes. Tonight at TJ's parents house we had the stairs blocked my a chair (which has worked...until now) and she walked up and used all she had to move the chair! Of course I was with her so she didn't go down the steps but good gracious can she just accept somethings are off limits. She also stuck her head between the spinals of the railing and got it stuck b/c she kept turning her head sideways after getting it through.
Tommi...oh my sweet (almost 4 year old) is doing AMAZING in dance! She is so sassy but super serious about it. I wish I could even touch on how awesome she is and remember the things she comes up with. She LOVES pretending and always has a "friend" here or she is talking to them. We have lots of dance parties and she is forever making up dances. Which are hilarious!
The other day Tommi said "Oh no, mom!" Worried I said "What's wrong babe?" she said "It's time for a dance party!" and started dancing and laughing!
My mom gave her gum the other day and she said "That's brilliant!" ha
I was getting upset with her and was telling her why she couldn't do something (I can't remember what). So I went to give her reasons and said "One b/c ..., two b/c ...," and before I could finish she said "and three, I'm not talking to you!" haha what?!?! I couldn't even be upset anymore!
She can now count to 6 in Spanish which is a memory thing but it is pretty awesome when she pulls it out and surprises someone.
Tommi is such a great big sister. Though she tries to steal the spotlight ALL THE TIME. She is so good with Miley and they both love each other to pieces! There is such a bond that I can only see getting so much stronger. Anytime Tommi meets a friend she brings them over to introduce them to Miley.
If I could only bottle these girls up!

WALKING!!!
Well it is official as of last night Miley is a walker. She has taken steps before but only here and there but last night she finally just became comfortable and did it. I gave her a bath and then we were playing in her room and Tommi and I went into the bathroom to comb her hair and low and behold here comes our little walker, from her room to the bathroom and then down the hall! I had to hold Tommi's mouth so she did not scare her and make her fall. When she finally did fall to her butt, we showered her with claps and excitement. Which for anyone who knows Miley, they know that is her dream come true! She just slightly loves attention!
She did alot of walking today. She still crawls if she is sitting somewhere and there is nothing to pull up on but she only crawls to something then is off walking. It is really funny b/c she is so little. Too cute! She has wonderful balance though and it is so cute when she starts to wobble.
I thought I would be less fascinated by her walking since I have already been through one learning to walk but she is different and has a different walk so I am loving it once again! My kids are awesome! :)
