Mia in the bath: I know you can't

see but she has 6TEETH coming

in at the same time. Crazy!

Since Mia and I are home at nights

while dad is at work, this is our

time together.

It was Peter Piper Pizza night at our

school so I took Mia, thinking

she's too young, but I was wrong.

She loved all the games.
Doesn't she look like a little girl,
she's no longer a baby...

Mia's new toy I found at a second hand store.

She loves it.

She's giving me a piece of her mind

in this picture. We have to keep

her entertained in the morning

while I "try" and get ready for work.

She sits in the sink daily while I

blow dry my hair before work.

Rick and I in San Diego at the

reception.

My sis Bre and Wally had their reception in

San Diego Valentine's night. Rick and I left

Mia home and went by ourselves. It was fun!

Grandma Meyers and Grandma Blaser watched

Mia and she loved spending time with them.

My sister's dress was beautiful. This is when

his family lifted them up for one of their many

traditions. I loved seeing the traditional dances

of their culture. What do we have? The chicken dance?

My sis Bre and my parents walking in. As you

can see in the back, they do this chant too.

There was so much energy in the room.

Wally and his parents... The room was beautiful

where they had the reception. It was a great

weekend.

pics Mia's babysitter took of her

this week. Mia loves going over there.

Mia doing it anyway...

And putting her tongue out to get a taste.

Mia playing in grandma's sandbox..
Getting ready for our daily jog...

Loving the nice weather...

Mia at the park...
She just loves the swing...

She giggles the whole time..

Of course I had to go on the slide with her,

but dad made her try it all by herself and

she did it...

Mia LOVES the swings at the park.

Mia is 10 months old. Mia is definitely going to be a little

girl who likes to dress up. She also

loves to be topless- don't know about that,

but she loves to rub her belly without a shirt

on. I think she loves the feeling of being free,

who doesn't right?

Phones are her favorite thing in the

world. She just blabs on it all day long.
Still has the big blue eyes....
Okay so this is what happens when Mia is with my mom,
grandma is very creative. She made this little train for Mia
and even attached ribbon so my mom can pull her around the
house singing "Riding on the choo choo train." I got home from
work and there was my mom being a choo choo train . Mia
loves it...
The problem is now she gets in it
and grunts and growls until you pull
her around as if you are her limo driver...

Mia is getting so big:

She loves to walk everywhere, kiss everyone,

organize Rick's shoes in his closet, read books,

find the kitties at Grandma's, shake her bootie,

talk,talk, and talk...on anything that resembles

a phone, wave to the world, and smile constantly.

I LOVE this age!

I love having a girl...

We get most of our toys from second
hand stores and I found this little kitchen
It's a perfect size for her... a little bleach
and it's practically brand new!



the microwave clicks and the burner makes sounds.
plus it takes up no room which is what we need right
now. We are getting anxious about the house building..

Mia loves to pat on her legs and here she is doing just that plus walking...

Uncle Dustin got Mia a real neat doll stroller

for Christmas. She loves it.

We all went with Grandma and Grandpa Meyers

to Opportunity village after Christmas. It was fun!

Mia was content even if she looks a little sad

in this picture.

Mia with grandma and grandpa.

My sister told me that Mia is a major social
butterfly compared to other babies her age.
I didn't realize it until I started comparing and
here she is at Cheesecake Factory with us and Rick's
parents. She was waving , shaking her bootie, and talking
to everyone that passed her. We had the windows down
and people were walking passed us cracking up.

Mia's first Christmas and she definitely made out!

We actually took some gifts and put them away

for her bday. She won't even miss them!

She was so cute all morning while opening presents.

Even the cat got into it and wanted to sit in
all her opened boxes..

My sister Nicole made Mia and me some adorable

matching aprons...

My sister Bre was with us Christmas morning.

She even woke up early to watch the excitement of

Santa.
