One cool kid.

Dad came home one day to find Mia's pants hiked up over her belly button and tucked into her socks at the same time (I was just trying to keep her warm in February, OK). Since then Mom's had an ultimatum to insure she look "cool." So here she is, ready to hang with the big kids...she seems to know it, too. But hey, at least Dad won't call her "Urkel" anymore.

Hey good lookin'

Mia was enjoying her wiggle worm gym this morning when she discovered the mirror toy on it for the first time. She wiggled over (we set her down perpendicular to her position below) directly beneath it.
Hey there beautiful...

Life is better sans pants.

Whoa!? I just can't get enough of that mobile! Unfortunately it wasn't enough to calm me down tonight. Until....Aunt Lizzie took my pants off to check my diaper. That cool breeze was all I needed. What will Dad say when he finds out how happy I am when my clothes come off?

Guard Dog

Lina dog is still standing by. She seems to think that we torture Mia with tummy time every afternoon. As soon as the little one starts to scream, Lina comes running in to her rescue. She lays down at Mia's side and starts to whimper until the dreaded ten minutes is up.

Music Appreciation

Mia had a good period of "awake/alert" time yesterday. After enjoying a few good books, we sat down to enjoy some classical music. Here she is conducting an orchestra from the nursery.

Spring has sprung.

We hope it has anyways! We're back to school now after the break and since Dad is coaching lacrosse we're the official dog walkers once again. We bundled up and went for a stroll with the girls around campus.

Little Big Girl

Mia may still be dwarfed by the glider in her nursery, but we've been re-assured that she is growing. (Mom was still in denial even after having changed her wardrobe over.) At her 2-month doctor's appointment today she was 21 inches long and weighed 9 lbs. 5 oz. She made it through her first round of immunizations (Daddy couldn't watch) and spent most of the day sleeping after that.

Hoppy Easter!

Yes, the titles of these posts are getting pretty cheesy, but we just couldn't resist sharing our little bunny with you. Wow---those cheeks just keep getting chubbier!

Chow time!

Grandpa Persons came to visit and shared a bottle with little Mia. She's trying to take charge of the situation, but still needs a helping hand.

Put on my pink suede shoes and I...

Well sort of...they aren't exactly suede...and no, a song hasn't been written about them. But--Mia is excited to be sporting her very first pair of shoes (slippers don't count).
