Ear Piercing

Mia got her ears pierced on Monday 02/23/09. I always told my mom I would never have my daughters ears pierced this early in life. My mom had mine done at 3 months and the holes in my ears are not even. Well, I couldn't resist getting Mia's done now. She is only 2 months old so she won't remember it thank goodness. The pictures make it look much worse than it really was. She did very well and only cried or about a minute after they were done. I think Mitch had a harder time with it than Mia did. He got very upset at the end.

Here is the mark for the earring on her ear

They hadn't even touched her yet in this picture. She didn't like being held still.

2 Month Old Video

The past 2 months have gone by so fast and been so wonderful. Mia is growing and changing by the day. Here is a short video I took of her on her birthday.

Colic and a Bubble Bath

Mia has been suffering from bouts of colic for over 2 weeks now. She would scream for 5-6 hours as hard as she could and NOTHING would sooth her. We were told by a lady we go to church with about an herbal colic tablet for babies that apparently works wonders. We were desperate so we decided to try it. It worked! They are made by Hyland's company and they are such a blessing. Mia had a colic spell and we had to give her 4 doses 1 every 15 minutes until she was quiet. She screamed for less than an hour that night and it's been less and less each time now that we are using them. To watch your child scream in pain for hours when there is nothing you can do is the worst thing in the world. Mitch and I were mentally, physically, and most of all emotionally exhausted. After the last of her really bad spells we decided to give her a warm bath to help relax her after all that crying. It turned into her first bubble bath and she loved it!

A Trip to Granny's

Any of you who knew me when I was really little already know that my mom loved to fix my hair pretty. She would use corn starch to stick bows in my hair before I had enough hair for a bow. Then as my hair grew it progressed to bigger bows and nights in curlers to make ringlets. Well my baby was born with lots of hair. YAY for Granny! On a recent trip to Granny's mom broke out the little bitty curlers and gave Mia her first real curl.

Church

A quick picture to show you how much Mia enjoys church!

Mia's 1st Wedding

A couple we go to church with got married on Valentines day. This was Mia's first wedding so I made sure to take pictures to document the event. It was also the first time I let anyone from church other than my parents hold Mia. This was a huge step for me. I am so over protective of her since she has been sick that I have almost become a germaphobic! (sorry can't spell that one quite right) I can't stand anyone to touch her and if they do they need to either wash their hands or use hand sanitizer first.

Mia's 1st Valentines Day

Mia had her first Valentines day today. It was a very busy day for us. She also attended her first wedding. (More on that to come) She woke up in a wonderful mood. This was a pleasant surprise for us because she has been battling bouts of colic on and off. We never knew what kind of mood she would be in from one moment to the next. She ate happily and then sat in her swing having a good time while I got ready for the wedding. After I was all ready Mia had a bath which she LOVES! Then she got all dressed in her Valentines day dress her Great Granny bought her. Then we were ready to go. It was a wonderful morning. (A special thanks to daddy for letting me sleep in and taking care of her on his day off!)

Short Video

Here is a short video of Mia sitting up in her Bumbo seat. She is growing so fast and she sits up so well now. She is starting to coo and play more every day. I now have figured out how to take and upload videos so I will be posting more in the future. Hope you enjoy!

Newborn Pictures

Here are the pictures taken of Mia in the hospital. I just now got them ordered and got the CD. It's amazing how tiny she was.

Like Daddy Like Daughter

As everyone already knows Mia has her daddy wrapped around her very little pinkie. Today Mitch was playing a game on his PS3 and I decided to show him how well Mia sits up in her Bumbo seat. This is the result...........

Mia playing PS3

I know this is only a small glimpse of what is in store for me as Mia grows bigger and her daddy shares his love of video games with her. I hope he will lean more towards Leap Frog and V-Smile. I'd like her to learn while she is playing.
