Mishka update!!

First, we're currently taking donations for Marina's future psychotherapy because her dad won't stop putting her hair as a mohawk...yes, in this picture she is truly horrified :)


The kid is growing by leaps and bounds both intellecutally and physically. She moves around with reckless abandon (crawling) and likes to stand herself up on any piece of furniture or people's legs...which means that she's learning about gravity in a more intimate way! :) She's babble to herself all the time, and mixes in random grunting, spitting, and primeval yelps, which are all really funny and LOUD. She's sleeping through the night for the most part, on a pretty routine schedule (getting onto one was most difficult on the parents in this case as mommy and daddy are not the most routine oriented people!!!).
Occasionally, Mishka will talk to people on the phone (wished uncle JB a happy b-day yesterday, sorta :)), and has really gotten used to interacting with folks, especially flirting with the boys...daddy's paranoia increases by the day ;)

Mishka is an amazing, fun, happy kid, Tash & I are SO lucky, it's an awesome thing to be able to hang out with her and watch her grow!

That's all from the Maine-land.
