Four Months!







Summer time is great!! Mia has spent a lot of time with Toby while I'm working. She is certainly a Daddy's girl! Every morning she greets us with laughter and smiles, kicks and giggles. Mia is growing fast. She has rolls on her thighs and her wrists. She just got her play saucer today, though her feet can't touch the bottom unless there are phone books for her to stand on, she is figuring out how to turn around in it and check everything out. She can be very focused on something new. She talks to us all the time, and uses her varied facial expressions to get her point across. We're having a great time with her. Hope you enjoy the pics!

To My Daddy

Hey Daddy!! Miss you! Thought I'd send you some laughs and giggles! Mommy and I had a great day with Greatgrandma Elsa and Gigi, Aunt Heather and Alison. She had funny stick-up hair today! I tried rolling over, but held my head up real good instead. I miss you, Daddy and so does Mommy. She told me. But we love you!! Have fun this weekend! Don't worry, I'll save some smiles for you when you get back! Love, your Mia

Me, My Friends and the 4th

Here are a few of Mia's friends at baby group. Haley, Julia and Mia. All were in a good mood and looking at the camera with the moms standing in the same order making funny sounds we think will make our babies look at us. It was funny. They held hands and even tasted each other's hands every now and then. They are already sharing!
We had a great 4th. Mia was decked out in her "American Baby" dress, so cute and checked! We spent it with family and then at a friend's house. There was great food and a whole lot of talking about the babies. It seems it really is a universal bond with every parent.
Mia likes to watch TV. I think it is the blinking lights. Though I do feel bad when she watches it every time it's on. I'm afraid it will turn her brain mushy, but I know it won't. We've been reading to her and singing to her and she likes shaking her booty. She helps her daddy play his video soccer game. She loves to sit up and stand up. She will be perfectly content sitting with us on the couch or wherever. She has discovered her hands, and holds them together like a little lady. You can see they taste quite good too. She flashes us her huge gummy grin and is laughing much more. She talks to us all the time, in her swing, in her car seat, at the table, on the couch. She's pretty funny, but I guess that is not surprising that she is our delight just like every other parent and child. She is laughing when I bathe her as I wash her hands and under her chin. She is turning towards our voices and is looking for us when we are in a room. She's weighing in at 11lbs 6ozs right now. She's getting rolls on her legs and her wrists and her fingers are getting fat. She is so much fun.
I hope everything is well with you and I promise we'll update sooner next time. Love you all.
