TWO MONTHS IN THE BOOKS!

Today (April 21), Mya is all of two months old (that's eight weeks to the pediatrician crowd out there)! As you can see from the pics below, she is growing fast and getting painfully more adorable by the minute.

Her eyes are getting lighter and lighter but we think they're more likely to end up a light brown or hazel instead of her mom's crystal blues. She's mixed in a few giggles, which is absolutely heartwarming. But the coolest thing yet? She is watching TV!!! Baby Einstein is a sure bet but tonight we sat and watched Finding Nemo with her. Between her love for TV and her love of naps, it is abundantly clear -- she fits right in with the existing family dynamic.

But enough yapping -- we'll dive in with one of my favorite pics ever. It's her cross-eyed face that she does from time to time, usually when she's trying to drop a deuce. Another photo in this post shows you the danger of the dreaded nappy-hair gene (carried by her father, of course), which sometimes rears its ugly head after she has a bath. Enjoy!

THE CHRONICLES OF MYA

Mya turns six weeks old on Monday (April 7)! To sum things up, things are going very very well. We've had a few rough nights -- including an all-night screaming party last Monday that kept me out of work for a day -- but other than that, she's been a great little sleeper. Is it wrong for that to be the thing I love most about this little girl?

Below is a sampling of pics from the last week or so, including one of Mya and I heading through Fryman Canyon in Century City on a hike with mommy this weekend. We are quite the fun little family! As you can see, she gives us quite a few smiles which is simply awesome. She's approaching 11 pounds now and is pretty much right down the middle on all her growth charts (insert joke about short dad here).
