I am happy to say my sweet little Miley J is back. When she turned 9 months old it seemed as though someone had taken her and left me with a foreign object. I could not figure out what changed my baby girl so dramatically?? And then, about a month later, she just snapped out of it. Suddenly things were back to normal around our house, and Miley has been her happy self once again. She still likes to have mom in sight at all times, and her world seems to flip upside down if she gets thrown off of her routine, but for the most part she is getting better at going with the flow.
Miley is always curious about what is going on around her. If she hears any kind of new sound she wants to know what it is, where it is, see it up close, and hear it again. she will get a shocked or surprised look on her face and say "What that?" it comes out sounding more like "wsthat" but it works. We went out to eat one night with our family after playing in the pool and hot sun all day long. We put this blanket over Miley's car seat to try to get her to fall asleep at the restaurant, but she kept lifting up to see everyone "wsthat? wsthat? wsthat?"
After her nap she will roll onto her tummy and play and talk until someone comes to get her up. As soon as she hears her bedroom door open she will pull down the bumper to see who's there. "peek a boo!"
These days Miley is a talker, not a walker. She doesn't show much interest in crawling, but she has mastered her own language. She will hold complete conversations with herself. All the "Goowaddaa's and ticki ticki too, doy doy doy's" sound like they could be pretty legit if you only knew what she was saying. She will even throw in a laugh at the end to let you know it was a funny conversation. She has finally figured out how to scoot forward to get to her toys instead of backwards or in a circle. She loves to walk around holding onto our hands and can get running if we go fast enough.
Her favorite toys are books and occasionally she will say a word or two after I read it on the page. She can say "Duck, Dog, Bye Bye, Bath Tub, Cup and 'Jo Jo' (which is a nickname for baby brother inside me)."
She loves to see and be with other little kids. I know she is going to be a very sweet big sister.
Miley continues to be the best part of our life together.

What a cute little girl! It is hard to believe she will be one soon and a little brother is on the way. Good luck is all I have to say! I can only manage one right now!
We love Miley and we are so sad that she (and you guys) are leaving us so soon!!! Taylor isnt going to know what to do without her around! (and us, Erin and Rory want to go swimming again this week! Plan on it!)
Aw, what a little sweetie she is, and a talker too! Joe loves to talk, but he hardly has the vocab that Miss Miley does! That's impressive! I wanted to see you before you leave, and I even tried to figure out how to go to Preston to see you (I hear the rodeo is quite hard to get into, sold out!) but we have a wedding for Ty's sergeant that evening anyway. Are you going to be staying with your mom at all before you head out? I'll be in Utah the first week in August? Well, just call me anyway! Hopefully we chat soon enough. BTW how are you feeling? And how's that little "Jo-jo"?
Miley Madsen, we just love you! I can't believe we will only see you one more time before you move out of the country. We are already excited for your return at Christmas time. We miss you already! Always remember that your Aunt Heidi and Uncle Jason love you so much!
