How Niya Sleeps... Feet In The Air!

So I finally managed to catch Niya in her typical sleeping pose... all the other times the door opening woke her up enough that she moved. So here she is... both hands behind her head and both feet in the air. If you try to straighten the blankets or to gently lower her legs, thinking she will get a better sleep, both feet pop back up moments later! It is hilarious! As she is drifting off the legs are straight up, then as she falls asleep they bend at the knees. The minute that she begins to wake up the legs go back to being straight up... see below!

The classic pose

Oops... she caught me!

Cute Moments!

Not really worthy of their own posts... but all the same, I just love these pictures for different reasons!

Niya actually found the pockets in this jumper and put two of her fingers into this tiny pocket all on her own!

Do I even need to explain this one?! :)

I just love this look that she gets when she is really concentrating hard on something!

See how serious she gets... she is trying to spin this toy!

One Little Punkin' in the Pumpkins

Hoping for better weather to take a few more! :) But couldn't resist posting these now!

6 Years!!

Kev and I have been married 6 years today! Wow!

I am amazed when I realize how fast time has passed. We have already been together 11 years and have experienced so many wonderful things during that time together... We have literally grown up together! There have been ups and downs, births and deaths, moves, graduations, plenty of learning experiences and of course Niya!

I cannot even express all the wonderful things that have happened in the last year. Becoming parents has been such a wonderful new experience. I now love my husband in ways I never thought possible; he is the father of my child and that is such an amazing thing!

I look forward to many more fantastic years and the life experiences that will come with each of those years! :)

Play Date

We are so lucky to have good friends who will watch Niya. Here are some adorable pictures of her latest play date with our good friends little guy (actually bigger than Niya) Asher.

New toys are sooo exciting!

Hey up there!

What?! We weren't doing anything! :)

I can just see Niya perfecting this look for when she is about 14! What? I wasn't doing anything? Just keeping my hands to myself... see! Our little angel! :D

Watch Me Roll

So I caught Niya rolling over, although as you can see, it took a while to get her to actually roll over. She is getting much faster at this move. However, she still gets stuck on her tummy and gets really frustrated about not being able to roll the other way! :)

I think rolling the other way will happen soon! :D

Fine Motor Skills

Kevin and I were both surprised to see how Niya plays with this toy. She already knows exactly how to turn this toy and can do this with one finger... we were impressed! :)
