Frequent Flyer!

Our little Midget is such a seasoned traveler by now that she's got her routine down. First a Barney movie, then a quick snack before fading off on Momma's lap! Must be nice... I've got to admit it's great to have such an easy baby. When the other kids on the plane are screaming and crying, she's usually just hanging out! We are definitely lucky...

Way back when...

As we approach Mia's 2nd birthday, I thought it might be fun to look back at where it all began... It's amazing that just 16 months ago we brought home our adorable, bald baby Mia, and had no idea what to expect! Now we've got a strikingly beautiful and alarmingly bright little girl who fills our days with a happiness that neither of us had any idea existed... I'm not sure what either of us have done to deserve such a perfect child, although I'm fairly certain the odds are better that we were rewarded for Mommy's saintly deeds, not Daddy's!! We often wonder, like all parents, what she'll look like or act like in another 10 or 20 years. We know the time will go too fast and we're doing our best to savor every moment. One thing is for sure, we were clearly the lucky one's in this whole adoption adventure!

Suckers! Mmmmmm...

Momma taught the midget all about suckers! Yummy... She wanted me to be sure and show everyone her blue tongue. Very appetizing, huh?!

The Morning After...

This picture says it all... Perhaps a bit too much fun on New Years Eve?! Mia had a blast hanging out with cousin Nicholas & her Great Aunt Ruthellen, while Mommy & Daddy went to a local dive bar with Aunt Cari & Uncle Perry. Looks like everybody over indulged! Here we come 2009. It's amazing that Mia will already be turning 2 in a few weeks... Yikes!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year from the craziest, kookiest kid in town! Who just also happens to be the most adorable child to grace this planet with her presence... We wish you all a prosperous new year and can't wait to share more pictures of our midget's progress. Thanks for your support and kind thoughts! Mazeltov.

Mia Takes Tokyo!

Tell me this doesn't remind you of an old Japanese monster movie?! Mia is obsessed with her new train table and apparently decided that wings would help her to build a better track... There is no end to her cuteness!

Car Chick!

Mia is a huge fan of Daddy's old cars! She insists on hanging out in the garage, playing in the tool boxes and climbing around in the cars. There is no doubt of the depth of Daddy's love, evidenced by the fact that Mia is actually allowed to climb around in Daddy's cars! Here she can be seen preparing for her first drive in her 69 Camaro. After taking a few laps around the neighborhood she recommended Daddy add Nitrous...

Uncle Jesse!

At Mia's Great, Great Aunt Betty's 100th birthday party, she was very excited to see her Uncle Jesse! And no, we weren't reliving the Dukes of Hazzard. hee hee. Mia loves the 'Big Guy' and gets very excited whenever he visits...
