Look how big she is! I remember when

her legs didn't even come close to the edge

of the swing. So sad... If you look at

her hair close, Rick and I put mousse in it

and blew it dry. It was fun.

This is dad showing Mia how to drive Nascar.
We messed up her nap schedule, can you tell

by the look on her face?

I was waiting to post until this nasty scratch went away, but oh well.

She barely missed her eye.

I had to show this picture of her budda belly. Too cute.

This never happens- she fell asleep while I was walking around.

Normally I don't tell stories, but Rick had a rough day yesterday. I had to go to work so he took care of Mia. This is Mia in the morning before I left thinking about how fun it's going to be hanging out with dad all day. I gave her a kiss and off I went. ( Yes Rick let me tell the story)

A few minutes after I left from work, dad decided to put Mia on her tummy time mat on the couch. He took pictures of her having so much fun not thinking that the couch might not be the best place for tummy time :) She looks pretty happy...

A few minutes after this picture, Mia rolled off the couch onto the floor ( no we don't have carpet). Her dad was so upset and so was Mia. She let out a cry that sounded similar to when she got her shots and gave him her lower lip expression for about an hour. He then got her to laugh when he did the lower lip himself in the mirror back to her. He called me at work ( not even an hour after I left) and told me about it. Yes I have a very honest husband. He even brought her to work so I knew she was okay. Poor dad!!

Here's Mia after her bath that her dad helped give. She feels a lot better and has forgiven him for her fall today. Yes, she is holding her pacifier in her mouth. She started doing that at only a few weeks old.

It is 107` F. outside and only May. We came out just to take this picture and show the cute hat!!

First Photo

Shoot !

This is how Mia likes to be held now? Don't ask me why but she loves it. You can see her hightlights really good in this picture. They are on the tips and have been there since she was born. It's almost like her hair started to come in lighter and then changed its mind. We love it. I had many people tell me her hair was going to fall out, but I knew it wouldn't. Her parents both had tons of hair when they were born. We can't get Mia to let go of this pacifier. It's her fav. Also in the last picture you can see that she has found her thumb. We were wondering when she would, since she had her entire hand in her mouth when we watched her on the ultrasound.

I love to smile!!

Mia had her six week appointment at the doctor today.

She weighs a whopping 11lbs 2 oz and she is 23 in long.

She is definitely growing fast! I had to show the

hospital picture so you can see how much she has changed!

I wanted to show a picture of Mia's

blessing dress before I put her in it.

Her Aunt Nicole made it for her and

it is beautiful. It means so much

knowing that her Aunt put her heart

into making this special dress. My dad

was able to bless Mia on May 4th and it

was a beautiful blessing. This is

Mia's first white dress. The first of

three. The next one will be her babtism

dress and the next will be her wedding

dress. We can't wait to watch her grow.

Mia was blessed on Sunday, May 4th.

Doesn't she look beautiful? Her aunt Nicole made

this blessing dress just for her. Aunt Brooke,

Uncle Chris, Aunt Nicole, Uncle Kevin and

all the grandparents came to see her in her first

white dress. Her Aunt Lucy and cousin Addison

made her a beautiful bracelet to wear and we

put it on at church so we didn't get a picture of it,

but it matched perfectly.

More cousin pictures. Doesn't cousin Scott

look cute surrounded by his two girls!

He is so cute with these little babies

and he already takes good care of them.

So here is "Happy Hailey" and "Moody Mia"

Just kidding, Mia is just a serious little thing but

she also smiles and laughs too. Aren't these

cousins too cute! Only 3 months apart.

My sister Nicole and Mia.

At one point, Hailey decided she was going to suck on Mia's hand.
