Lashes

This photo doesn't really do them justice. Mia definitely inherited her father's eye lashes and they're starting to really fill in now.

Bi-ped anyone?

Look Mom, I'm a bi-ped after all! With a little help, Mia enjoys a walk up Dad's tummy. Other favorite activities include "blasting off," jumping, and "flying like Superman."

Drool Fest 2008

Didn't get the memo? Drool Fest 2008 is the place to be. Only the most experienced droolers are performing this year. And, due to the rising infant population, the popular event has been moved to the Berkshire School campus. While Mia's buddy Fitz (who is currently teething) is the main act, Mia will be opening the show. Hope you remembered your bib.

Mirror, mirror

Whoa! It's four times as big as the one in my old gym. As you can see, Mia has taken to her new workout facility quite nicely. A "jittering" elphant, giraffe rattle, singing flowers...what could be better? Maybe we should have just invested in a new mirror for the munchkin.

Working Out

Mia's been working out in her gym every morning. In fact, she loves it so much that Mom just ordered a new one twice its size- an all-out infant activity center. Mia especially loves the "rings." What's next Mia, the uneven bars?

Yankee Nation

Here she is: The newest member of Yankee Nation. Mia surprised her proud papa in the dining hall last night when she arrived in her newest hat (courtesy of Grandpa Dom). Mia wore it with poise, despite several looks of scorn from the Red Sox babies.

Road Block

Mia's been moving more and more during Tummy Time lately. It's not a crawl...more of a belly scoot. That whole flip-over trick is old news. Mia's taking it to the streets...until she comes across the occasional road block.

Chew Toy

In a house with two dogs we talk about chew toys quite a bit. More so now that there are two dogs and a Mia. If that's not a look of determination, we're not sure what is.

Sunday

Ahh Sunday...the only day of rest for the boarding school weary. With more beautiful weather and a day off from work, the family geared up for a trip into Great Barrington. We did some shopping at the two toy stores in town-- had to find the perfect inflatable pool for the summer! And grabbed a bite at the very bohemian Cafe Helsinki-- Mia, you are so hip.

But first-we geared up in the appropriate attire.

Mia wasn't sure what she thought about her first pair of Osh Kosh overalls.

But, she knew the sun hat was too much.

Tasty Blankie

Yes folks, she's defintely located the mouth...and everything is fair game to go in it. Look out Mom and Dad- you better be baby-proofing the apartment. Hmm...I wonder if this cute blankie tastes as good as it feels?
