Sisters...

We're in New Jersey visiting Kenny & Kathleen and their beautiful little girl Molly! We arrived on Friday and Molly & Mia immediately picked up as if they were never apart... They had so much playing in the tub! It's really kind of freaky, their noises and expressions are so similar. From the side, or behind, it's really difficult to tell tem apart... After all, they spent the first seven and a half months of their lives together, and are only one day apart in age. They are lucky to have each other!

Hung Over New Year's Day...

Unfortunately the morning after wasn't quite as much as the New Year's Eve itself... However, Mia was quite happy to lounge around all day with Mommy & Daddy. In fact, here you'll see us watching some football and sharing some saltines! She's the best...

Festive New Years Eve!

After a nice relaxing day with our little Mia, Aunt Ruth Ellen was kind enough to come over and sit while Mommy & Daddy went out on the town! Ok, actually we just went to the Club for dinner and drinks with Eben & Nancy, and their family. We had a great time out while Mia was fast asleep... As you can tell, she was none to happy to see us leaving.

Christmas Brunch

Christmas morning Mia opened all of her presents first thing after she got Daddy out of bed. Ok, so she had to wait a few hours... It was amazing to see all of the generous gifts she received. After that, we went to Jim & Judy's for a fantastic brunch & a few of Sarah's special bloody mary's! Ok, maybe more than a few... They live on the Phoenician golf course, where Mia spent loads of time rolling around in the grass with Blaise, Madi, Nolan & Quincy. She was our little Christmas Princess! We've been dreaming of our first holiday season with our new baby for so many years. In reality, there was no way of knowing just how great it would be... We are the luckiest couple in the world!

Bartolotta Visit...

David & Heather brought their beautiful daughters to visit with Mia on Saturday night. Mia had so much fun playing with Gabrielle & Angelina. Isn't this the sweetest picture of them all in Mia's crib? This was taken right after they all rolled around together in her crib... Too cute!

Hiking South Mountain

On Sunday morning we met Jackie at South Mountain to do some hiking. Kurt & Sue lent us this awesome baby babpack & Mia had an absolute blast! Every time we passed a hiker with a dog she would bounce up and down and pant with excitement. She even learned that by pulling on Dad's right ear, Dad would turn right so she could see whatever interested her in that direction...

Playdate with Maya!

Last week we had Megan and Maya over for a playdate! Mia has so much fun playing with her friends. Mia pushed Maya all over the house in this walker! It was so cute...

First Santa Visit...

After all the other kids were done crying, Mia hopped up on Santa's lap and had an absolute blast! You can tell by Santa's face that even he was amused by her shear joy. I wish I could show you all the photos. About 15 seconds after this was taken, Mia gazed into Santa's eyes and promptly grabbed a handful of beard and tugged!! She's the absolute best and we are having so much fun... We want 10 more!
