My Girls...

This is another one of Mia's 18 month portraits. Mommy jumped in on this one and it's my favorite photo! So beautiful...


18 Month Photos!

Mommy took Mia to have her 18 month portraits taken. What's amazing is that this kid doesn't take a bad picture. She is shockingly photogenic... Look at the little cutie!

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!!!!!

Believe it or not, our 18 month old midget started school this week!! Mia attends school from 9-1 on Tues & Thurs. We were a little worried about starting her this early, but some of our friend's children that attend this school are far more socialized than other children we know... Plus, when we took her to observe a while back she hopped out of Mommy's arms, joined the other kids for play, and even tried to take a snack away from another little boy! I figure she's ready to start stealing lunch money and bullying the other children.

She did surprisingly well. She whined a bit when we were leaving, but when I peaked in the window about 90 seconds later, she was sitting on the teacher's lap giggling and reading a book with her! Luckily, there are only 6 children for 2 teachers, so she'll get lots of attention! Plus, after all the excitement she took a 3 hour nap her first day! By Thursday it was as if it was a familiar routine for her... Note her glasses in the picture. The teachers were quite amused! She loves to wear those damn things.

Stop & Smell the Roses

Could there be a cuter picture?! She is so phenomenally sweet... Every day she makes us appreciate our lives a little bit more than yesterday!


Camaro Girl...

No question that being in Cleveland was great. We got a chance to see so many people & had so much fun... However, the pinnacle of the trip was when our little midget climbed into Daddy's 69 Camaro and excitedly pretended she was driving it! Can you ask for more from a midget? The future looks bright for this kid... (and Daddy!)


Swing Time!

While in Cleveland, Mommy & Mia got a chance to hang out with Lisa & Steve Pastor and their beautiful daughter Gwenyth! They hung out in the park for a bit and, as you can tell, the girls loved the swings. Unfortunately, Daddy couldn't make it as he had gone out a little late the night before...


Puppy Love...

While in Cleveland, Dave & Sandy hosted a barbecue at their beautiful home! It was so great to see their whole family, as well as Brian & Eileen. Here's Paul & Andrea's daugher Sophia & Brian & Eileen's daughter Greta flanking Mia, as she harasses the puppies... Unfortunately our midget wasn't feeling so well that night and was abnormally whiney... She even ended up projectile vomiting all over Mommy before the night was through. Lucky Mommy!


Booksmart Friends!

While in Cleveland, Mommy & Mia had a play date at the library! Here's our midget sharing the chair with her new friends. Mary Hollish's son Peyton and Cindy Sherman's kids Robby & Leah. Aren't they all so cute?!
