Mila



 Oh Mila.  You are really giving us a run for our money these days.  I think I might finally have to read a parenting book which I've managed to avoid all these years....  It's a good thing you still have the cheeks of a chubby 9-month-old and a smile that melts all of the frustration away...

Your Mila is my Ryan. And you're not giving me any hope that age will improve him! :)

You're right - at least she's adorable.

I'm convinced it has to be something with being the second child. All my friends have had the same issues with the second ones in line. One night I broke down sobbing while on Amazon looking for parenting books on how to raise boys. I ended up buying six. Looking back I wish I had bought a book that was more focused on the different needs that children have according to whether they are first born, second, middle, last. But your pictures have me convinced she is nothing but the sweetest, most patient soft spoken angel.

She is stunningly adorable on your photographs!
I wonder if it is mostly an age thing...My third is currently three and a half, and has been a real challenge for a year or so. Last night it took two hours and a lo-o-ot of stress to get him to eat a flake of salmon. With hindsight, I should never have said he had to try it before he could leave the table...am constantly learning to parent better for each individual! And pick battles with wisdom!
Children are often a delight for others even when they're tough at home - proof you're doing OK!
