Stay At Home Mom's Playgroup

Mia and I got together today with a group of local Moms.

We met up at Ballyst Point Park and had lots of fun!

It could've been a few degrees cooler,

but I'm afraid summer is already upon us.

The other moms were really sweet.
It was nice hanging with others on the same page.

Mia really opened up and was one of the most outspoken babies there.

Mommy slathered on the sunblock and made me wear this hat,
but I'd rather have it off.

Brown-eyed girl.

I said, NO MORE PICTURES!!!

Little Mamasita is getting so big!

In addition to her 2 bottom teeth, Mia's got a top tooth and another on the way. Poor girl is having a bit of a hard time with these. We call her our little jack-o-lantern.

We're not on finger foods yet (still worried about choking), but she does love her homemade apples, pear and cinnamon breakfast snack. For dinner she gets a chicken, sweet potato and apple puree from Mom's kitchen. Tastes like Thanksgiving.

Morning naps are getting more routine. Afternoon naps, not so much. Oh, I think she's getting up now - we're off to Grandma and Grandpa's so I can get to the gym.

We love her so very, very much!

Gymboree Wednesdays!

Fun for little people!

Sweet Cheeks

Little Ham

Big girl on a pony.

Bubbles!!!

Trying to get this crawling thing down.

Not Spolied Whatsoever

This is AWESOME!!!

Hmmm... what should I grab first?

I think I'll check these out.

Mamarazzi at it again.

Rainy Day Fun

Mia LOVES this thing!

Beautiful, like a rainbow.

Her "trying to figure everything out" Popeye face.

I could hang here all day!

Little Miss Sunshine

Yes, we water her daily.

Little Mama is 7 months old!

Getting so big!!! Look at those daddy cheeks.

And that undeniable daddy smile.

Saturday at the Art Show

It's exhausting being a little person.

Good people.

The lovely Miss Amelia and her pretty mom.

Corey and Peg Leg Chili.

Okay - only one of those is mine!

Feeling Peachy

What happens when somebody insists on feeding herself.

If you're happy and you know it...... Mia is responding to my clapping by pulling her hands together and apart repeatedly. She's starting to catch on! Go Mia!

Poor girl....

So Mia's stubborn little tooth has STILL not cut through. And now she has 2 more breaking the surface, for a total of 3 bottom toothies! Yowzers. I hope they hurry up already.

Mom = Paparazzo

Is there a support group for people that take too many pictures of their kids?

Lady, I swear if you don't stop -

I'm going to barf all over this pretty little outfit.

What Mia Thinks of Peas

NASTY.

I said "Oh geez, it can't be THAT bad," then tried a tiny bit and gagged too.

Move Over Heidi Klum!

Mia's 6 month stats are in - 15lbs, 13oz (47th percentile) and 27.5"L (96th percentile). Pediatrician thinks her body type will be long and slender. Lucky girl! She's going to be taller than Momma by the time she's 12.

Her check-up went great, but I always cry during shot time. I hate that. Needles make me want to run for the hills. Needles on my baby make me a sad panda. Anyway, all is well. She's healthy, happy, meeting her milestones and moving right along. Doc told me to go ahead and start baby-proofing, because this little one is going to be mobile before we know it. Yikes.

My Little Lady Bug

Happy Half Birthday, Mamasita!

Go shorty - it's your birthday.........

What's this?

Mine!

Crazy hands!
