10 Months

Mia is 10 months old. The count down to the big ONE is on! The planning is in full swing. How does this affect her? It doesn't. She just goes about her day playing so hard that she is exhausted at night. She crawls, chatters, dumps the dog water bowl, gets Granny's pine cones out of the tree, chases the dogs, tries to climb the stairs, eats Cheerios , kisses her baby, turns circles on her bottom, laughs when you sneeze, and oh yeah WALKS! That's right I just said my 10 month old is walking. Welcome to the real world mommy. This last month has been amazing. Mia has learned so much and grown so much. I can't wait for tomorrow just so I can sit and watch her.

9 Month Professional Pictures

I got my CD of Mia's 9 month pictures. I am so happy with them. They came out so good. I'm only going to post a few here but if you want to see the rest just check out my facebook page.

The Big Bed

The past few mornings Mia has been waking up before I am ready for work. Now that she can pull up in her crib she wants out as soon as she's awake. She is also very mobile so I can't watch her as closely as I need to while getting ready. What to do, what to do? I have found if I lay her back down in our bed with pillows all around her she will lay there and play or fall back asleep. I never thought I'd be the type to just sit and watch my baby sleep but I am. I have managed to get some very cute pictures over the past few mornings.

Busch Gardens

On Saturday 9/19 we took Mia to Busch Gardens for her first trip. We just renewed our 2 year passes. It was HOT. Since we have the passes we only planned to stay for a couple of hours. She started off impressed with the tram ride. I really think it was the wind in her face that made her giggle. We decided to just do animal exhibits this trip since Mia likes animals so much. We got some really cute pictures.
