Well, this is what happens when you leave town.

I left Mia with her dad for the weekend while

I went to my sister Bre's wedding in San Diego.

He got her ears pierced.

Here's another shot of them. They are pretty

cute but we were going to wait until she was

a year. He doesn't remember us saying that :)

Dad and Mia also went to a bull riding competition

on Friday night. Never a dull moment...


Looks like she was pretty happy though...

Pre- ears pierced.

Mia's new adventure

Can you believe our 7 1/2 month old is trying

to walk?

Mia's new photo shoot. We had to get

pictures at 2 different places because

the first place was terrible this time.

This is from Picture People. I will

post the others when I get them.

She is so stinkin cute. I can't stand it!

Mia is tired of getting in her costume.

She hates the hood. Can you tell?

There's a grin!

It's so funny what makes babies laugh, Mia

thinks it is the most hilarious thing that Rick

is throwing laundry in the dryer. Babies laughs

are so sincere and genuine, you can't help to

laugh right along with them.

I wanted a pumpkin that Mia

could fit inside of, because when

I was little in Idaho, our pumpkins

were so big, we fit all three girls

inside ( you weren't born yet Brooke)

but Vegas doesn't have huge pumpkins like

that. She loved it though...

Mia actually loved putting her fingers in the

pumpkin.
Digging away...

Cute smile..

That pumpkin is bigger than you!

Here is Mia's rat nest..
This is our smiley little thing.

We went to my school's Spooktacular on

Friday night. Mia is our little octopus,

I will get better ones next weekend when

she is in a perkier mood- she was sleepy.

Here are all her tentacles.

Mia with a little friend.

Mia is 7 months today. She weighs almost 20 lbs

and is 28 in long. She has 2 teeth that you can

see in the next picture. She smiles so big now

and talks up a storm. She walks across furniture

and then just lets go completely. She will definitely

be an early walker. She loves my mom's cat, she

loves to cuddle and watch cartoons in the morning,

she loves other kids so we definitely have to have more

for sure. She is so much fun right now, and she is always

busy, busy, busy.

Take a look at those teeth!

When she grabbed the remote, I laughed and

thought it was such a funny pose!

Mia's first pumpkin picking.
She loved the little pumpkins.
We went to Gilcreast farm to pick pumpkins.

They told us it was slim picking this year, but

it was still fun to actually walk around the farm

and pick your own pumpkin. It reminded me of

my grandma's farm in Idaho.

I just wanted to set her in the dirt, but her

dad took his own shirt off and put it under

her. She's wrapped around his finger...

This is the new cheesy grin we get now...

Mia's first time on a swing.
She didn't want to get off.
She loved it!
We met friends a the Bite of Las Vegas on Saturday

and Mia loved messing with her friend Payton.

She kept touching him, pulling his hair, and he

finally stuck his tongue out at her and made

faces. It was so funny! She's definitely

going to mess with the boys when she gets older.

Date night: We went to the UNLV game without the baby.

It was a fun night! Grandma and Grandpa Blaser babysat.

We even sported UNLV gear.

Mia loves to smile...
She also loves to try and get in the bathroom

so she can get to the bathtub and play around...
This is her mischievious look..
Her dad is telling her not to do that...
Maybe if I wave at them, I won't get in trouble...

This is what I find in the morning now.
And the world says women are dramatic!

He said it was the worst diaper yet!

Just all grown up
This shows you how Mia steps from one

side of the couch to the other.
Yes, you are pretty cute.

Mia saying "Happy B-day dad!" We stuck

one of his bday bags on her head and she loved it.

Mia waking from a nap. Check out the one

tooth. She's my one tooth pumpkin this year!

This is what I find in my mom's house. She is

standing up to everything.

This shows you how she loves to cuddle with dad. Morning routine- my sis Nicole told me that

girls only do the cuddling, so we better cherish every

moment.

Mia waving all the time.
