Updates on Mia: Grandma and Grandpa M

got to watch her this week so Rick would take

her to the park and then leave her with them

before work. She had a GREAT time with them.

Latest funny stories: she is obsessed with pockets

so she keeps putting things in them. Well she was naked

and out of the tub and said, "Mom, I need a pocket"

I told her she didn't have one because she was naked,

and she said, "Yes I do, I have a pocket in my bum!"

So that's what she says every day now and Rick

and I hope she doesn't put anything in there :)

She is also starting to throw little tantrums and

when Rick and I try to get her to stop, she says,

No I just keep on whining!!! It's hilarious, we

even heard her last night yellling it in her dreams.

She is a spitfire!

She's so long and skinny!
running in the park :)

Grandma M, Mia, and dad
Getting ready for her namesake , just kidding :)

Eating lunch with Grandma and Grandpa M

and being silly.

What a goof!

After her nap: bear, blanket, binky,

and drink

Introducing my niece Arianna (I'm taking credit for the name :) )

Born Feb 9th 7 lbs 19 inches long. This makes the 4th grandkid,

another one gets here in April. Exciting!

Anyway, we are back and smiling- after a terrible

week of Stomach Flu with constant diarrea and

puking and me running over Spock in the garage

on the way to work ( yes he's alive and okay)

I'm glad to see this smile again, she's happy,

a little bit of an attitude from being spoiled while

sick , but she is so much better. We took her to the Shark

Reef at the Mandalay Bay. She had a blast!

Here's Mia singing Twinkle Little Star, my camera

card got full in the middle of course, so I will have to

post again- she LOVES reading her books.

Updates on Mia: she's so stinkin funny, has the

cutest grin, in fact she said, "I'm so funny" the other

day, she puts her cooking hat on and says,

"I'm ready to cook" The only bad to that is that

it is usually at 8:30pm when I'm trying to get her to

go to bed. She tells me 5 more minutes mom when

I want her to clean up and then 2 more minutes mom,

but she just keeps doing it over and over again. She always

has that bear who rarely sees the washing machine because

she won't let him go for more than 5 minutes. She's still

dancing like crazy, follows me everywhere saying, "What

are you doing now mom?" I can't even pee in peace, but

she's my little sidekick and gives me kisses and hugs all day long.

This is her new smile, look familiar Nicole?

Scott and Hailey make the same face!! She is constantly

trying to cook with me which is fun and she got

this new kitchen well, it was at a garage sale

from Grandma and Grandpa M and

she won't let me put it in the backyard where it's

supposed to go. She just keeps saying, this is my new

kitchen mom!

She still has the bluest eyes ever and is skinny

and tall.

She is non stop action from morning
til night and so much fun to play with.
Whenever I cook , she runs, grabs
her cooking hat, asks me to put her
apron on and says, "I'm ready to cook!"
What a cutie!!

cutest cook I've ever seen!
Mom and Mia

Mia is absolutely obsessed with Yo Gabba which

most of you know, because you keep adding to

her collection. She has everything you can think

of Gabba. She role plays with them constantly

and she sings/dances to their songs all day long,

so I decided her 2nd birthday will be Yo Gabba

Land! Filled with a Brobee cake and lots of fun.

I'm so excited. She will LOVE it.

Here's the gang: She kisses, hugs, and takes

them everywhere. She doesn't have a favorite,

and she sings : Don't Bite Your Friend to Spock

our cat, Please and Thank you song, Wiggle Wiggle

Stop, If I try it I'll like it (everytime she eats

something new) It is fun to watch her get so

excited. ( I was the Flinstone and Smurf era)

speaking of cat: Spock thinks we buy Mia's toys

for his pleasure. This is a mini tent that Mia puts

her animals in and he thinks it is where he lives.

Doesn't look like a mama pig to me?

Here is Mia listening to country music and using

her little toy guitar to help her with the lyrics.

Notice her eyes are closed? She always dances

with her eyes closed. It's so funny!
