A Happy, happy birthday Daddy!
On the 7th, Pete celebrated his undisclosed number birthday while Myna turned 7 months old! What a fun day we had together. The best gift given was a total surprise - Myna started crawling!Myna, of course, had to document the month's growth next to Howard.
It didn't take her long to find all the cool things within reach.
Our good friends told us about the Angel Oak. It's supposedly the oldest tree East of the Ole Miss - estimated at 1500 years old. Now that's a birthday to celebrate. The longest branch is 89 feet long! It was beautiful.
The day sure tuckered out some of the Bontornos. Luckily, the picture of me snoring in the car won't be posted.
One of Myna's new toys is her favorite - Paradise Island - a place of joy, serenity and relaxation (for mom).
This is Myna being brave and taking her inhaler. Poor thing has bronchiolitis and has taken up wheezing for the past few days :(
But, she sure seems pretty contented to me!

For those who are interested, Myna still speaks in almost all vowel sounds - and, she thinks it's pretty funny when we show her what consonants sound like. She's definitely our little independent lady.Also, most of you know that I have some mysterious health issues such as unexplained food allergies and recurring hair loss. For years, I've done tests and gone to doctors and homeopathic specialists and anyone I can think of. I finally decided that it was stress. And, after years of searching, I finally found some information that says that all my symptoms can be attributed to Adrenal Fatigue/Exhaustion, or massive Adrenal Stress!! Now, I'm not talking simply being busy. My entire being's been stressed out since having Mononucleosis in high school. It's my body's inability to handle too much of anything. So, this is no official diagnosis nor is there a cure-all for whacked out adrenal glands, but it is an answer and a name to put with what is going on to my body.
