Happy 51 Week Birthday, Mika!

Apparently, you had a good day. There were no tears at daycare this morning and you were all smiles when you and Daddy came up to the office after work. This may have something to do with seeing Jaclyn and Katie sitting there in all their teenage glory. Jaclyn has bleached what little hair there was on her head and coloured in black leopard spots - in addition to the classic chelsea fringe. You do love your punks, Mika. You also came very close to walking on your own after we got home. You let go of one of my hands and almost released the other in your mad dash to the play area. Maybe tomorrow?

Mika did not seem to love meeting her Uncle Martin yesterday though. As the large imposing figure grew closer to her highchair, the look of sheer terror erupted into a mini meltdown the likes of which we have not seen in quite some time. Martin offered up his jewelry in an attempt to appease Shrieka. She took but a single cursory grab at each the necklace and bracelet in succession and resumed the freaking out. Nonetheless, we were about to maintain the nightly routine and she was asleep shortly after 6. Phew.
