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!

Look Ma! I can hold myself up!

Crazy in Love

Everyday I look at our little girl and my heart just melts. There is nothing quite like this kind of love. It's overwhelming and leaves me breathless sometimes.

Mia's latest accomplishments include rolling, giggling up a storm, reaching for Mommy or Daddy, sorta-kinda sitting up (still a little wobbly), LOTS of baby babble (mamama when crying really gets me), pulling on Chili's coat, grabbing at whatever's in reach. She also loves to throw things out of the stroller and high chair, chew like crazy on anything OH and before I forget...... I think her first tooth is just days away. I see some white coming through her bottom gums!

Mia loves just about everything, except carrots. Mommy pureed some fresh carrots the other day. She gagged. With every spoonful her face flushed, her eyes watered and she tried as quickly as possible to spit it all out. Uh-oh. We're going to have to work on this one.

Sweet Like Candy

Let the Sun Shine!

Exersaucer Success!
