The Adventures of Minka

I love that Minka is getting older and stronger and is able to try more things!  She went on her first carousel ride in Dothan, AL and she loved seeing us wave and cheer for her as she went round and round!

She is starting to understand what is right and wrong and here she "sneakily" found an unused outlet cover and was ecstatic on her discovery!

Minka is eating a lot of table food these days.  Here she tries rice with chopsticks!

We have found a wonderful daycare here in Aurora! I had a referral for a provider and I was very impressed! She has been doing daycare/education for 15+ years and her whole house and backyard is dedicated to the kids.  There are more toys than I could imagine. The provider wore a shirt Minka liked when we visited to get Minka accquainted and she wore a similar shirt on Minkas first day.  She made sure to give Minka her favorite foods on the first day (green beans!) and she has focused a lot of attention on Minka during her first week to make sure she is comfortable and secure and the two other girls accept her to their group while still loving the provider!!  She is great and I couldn't be happier to have Minka play with two (soon to be three) other happy little girls!

Here MInka is meeting Addison and is already dancing 15 minutes into the first day.  She jumped out of my arms to sit with the provider!

What a nerd! :)
