New Shoes

Granny bought Mia her first pair of Nike's. She got a great deal on them. We are loving bargain shopping for Mia. The prices they charge for clothes a child will out grow in a few months is crazy.

8 Months

Mia is 3/4 of a year old already (8 months?) What happened, where did the time go? It seems like just yesterday we brought her home from the hospital. Now she is this amazing little girl who scoots around the floor on her bottom, rolls over (finally), claps (well, baby claps), smiles all the time, smacks her lips, clicks her tongue, gets up on all fours trying to get mobile, and walks while holding on to your fingers. I am saddened every time she reaches a milestone because it means my baby is growing up. However I am elated each time she learns something new. It's amazing how full your heart can get with love for a child. So precious!

The Faces of Mia (Part 2)

Mia makes some of the funniest, strangest, cutest, wonderful faces. Here is a few of my favorites over the past few months.

Mommy's Big Girl

Patience is a Virtue

Many of you know my mom has a very spirited dog named Sassy. She is the most loving dog in the world but slightly hyper. She just can't control herself when she is happy. I admit I was worried about how Sassy would react to Mia. At first she would go insane every time we brought Mia to the house. Over time she has calmed down and now Mia is just another person who belongs in her world. Sassy has patience beyond belief where Mia is concerned. She lets Mia pull, grab, or pinch her and she just sits there. We don't let Mia do these things but you know babies they do things before you can stop them sometimes. Here are a few of my favorite pictures of Mia and Sassy. There is also a video at the end of Mia and Sassy.
