Some April Pics

So she really loves this little cup that her cheerios go into. She HAS to do it all by herself, but that usually means that at least 75% get on the floor. In this series of pictures, she was stuffing as many as she could fit into her mouth with both hands!

Wow! Look at those teeth!

So silly!

Mia and Daddy getting ready in the morning before work.

Here she is finding her Easter eggs. It was a cold yucky day and Daddy had to work, but she loved the egg hunt we had after we got home. She knew just what to do when she found the eggs.

Helping with the dying of the eggs ~ not her favorite since she couldn't do too much.

She LOVES it outside. We were working on getting the pine needles raked up and she just

walked over and picked up the rake. It was cute.

The two trouble makers. Usually she isn't smiling if we are keeping her out of the kitchen!

Our Spring Break in CA - So Wonderful Sunny Weather!!

I know this is a ton of pictures, but I wanted to share the great time we had in CA. We got to visit both families, the beach, and have two little parties for Mia (also one suprise party for Shelby's upcoming 12th birthday!). How nice it was to have the warm sun and just RELAX (wow, that doesn't happen very often!)

Mia loved the weather!

She loved the beach - even the sand she dug up and ate!

She ran all over the place pointing to the waves and Loving the wind.

What is this place? I love it already!!

Not sure she liked the giant woodstock in Santa Rosa.

Shelby and Nate at her suprise party.

SUPRISE!!! This party is for you!! Who would have thought- on the same day as Mia's??

Mia's party at Grammie and Nono's. Thanks for the gardening outfit! She loves to climb up and down in the chair (and carry it around!)

Maybe I do like this cake thing - as long as you don't look at me!

One overwhelmed girl at her birhtday party!

Arriving at Nana and Papa's house. It was good to be home.

Mia, Shelby, and Matthew

Opening presents for birthday at Nana and Papa's house.

This was the day it was 87 degrees!! I was too hot, but Mia loved playing at the fountain in Healdsburg.

Nana and Papa's deck was the best for playing in the water. She is going to have so much fun this summer.

Washing off that dirt I just ate. Playing in dirt is almost as much fun as playing in the water!

Happy 1st Birthday Mia - on March 19th!!

Didn't want to wear the birthday crown.

"It's by birthday!"

She liked it before she saw everyone stairing at her.

Mood changed and wasn't so happy anymore.

Right before the sad face and tears!

Much better...give me the presents!!

I think this might have been her favorite part - the balloon.

Thanks Phil, Kristen, and Grace for the stroller and doll bottles. She loves to use them, even if she doesn't always "push" the stroller.

Some cute and funny pics from February and March

Crazy balloon hair at Mom and Dad's birthday at Red Robin.

Beautifully clean baby.

This is about how far we have gotten with potty training - playing with it! Now she will at least sit on the potty!

This was a smile for the camera - pretty rare now.

Happy birthday Mia! This is Mia's actual b-day morning.

Funny Faces!
