New Friends...

While at Caryl's shower on Saturday night her sweet daughter, Marabeth, and a friend were kind enough to watch Mia for us. Here she is getting acquainted with her new babsysitters! Oh, and of course there are the infamous Caryl and Fred. If Caryl were here she'd be saying, "Isn't he handsome?".

Baby Lillie...



Here is Mia visitng with Lillie, Gwen & Teddy's beautiful new baby girl. It was great to catch up with Gwen & Teddy and show them what they have to look forward to by letting our little Midget tear through their house, knocking over the dog's water bowl...

Mia's New Boyfriend...

Caryl's husband, AJ, was just the sweetest with Mia this past weekend. She took to him right away and had non-stop fun playing and flirting! Here they are spending a little quality time watching morning cartoons...

The Pose!

This picture was just too damn cute not to include... This was taken at Caryl & AJ's sons baseball game, in Nashville. Stunning!

Mia's new Best Friend, Ethel...

We travelled to Nashville this weekend for Caryl & AJ's baby shower. They were kind enough to put us up in their beautiful home, so Mia felt it was only appropriate to reciprocate their kindness by feeding their cute little French Bulldog's, Fred & Ethel, all weekend... Here she is seen sharing some breakfast with Ethel. What a giver...

Midget Travel...

I'm happy to announce that Mia is now officially a seasoned traveler! After all the trips we've taken, she has finally settled into an airplane routine. We brought along a DVD player in the slim hope that she might be willing to watch, and sit still. We really thought it was a long shot. Amazingly, she put on her little head set and rocked out to the Wiggles!! It was so freaking cute to see her just hanging out on Mommy's lap all relaxed... She's the best!

Our little OCD Girl...

Our little Mia is taking after her Daddy! She climbed int the shower this morning, all on her own, and proceeded to squeegee the glass clean... We couldn't be more proud of our clean little angel.

All joking aside, it is shocking to see what Mia picks up unexpectedly. Yesterday evening when I got home from work I kicked off my shoes. A few minutes later I watched her pick up my shoes, walk into our closet and place them where they go, perfectly aligned. She amazes me...

Studying China!

Last week we hung a map of China in Mia's room and spent a little time studying Mia's heritage. She was surprisingly interested in the map! Unfortunately we used the same map to pinpoint the recent earthquake...
