Playing at Great Grandma's House

and Swimming

August 21 & 22, 2009

Mia loved playing with Dorian

Mia, spending time with Great Grandma Serra.

We went swimming in the

hot springs pool and then

Mia played on the playground.

Exploring Ouray, CO
August 20, 2009

This is where we stayed. It is such a cute

little town.

We went to Box Canyon to see the waterfall
It was sooo loud!

We hiked to Cascade Falls.

Kiel dipped Mia's toes in the cold water.

She really enjoyed the outdoors.

Our trip to see Great Grandma Serra

August 19, 2009

This was Mia's first time in a

Taxi.

Our long, but beautiful drive to Montrose, CO

We stopped in Grand Junction to

see Aunt Monique and Giles

We are finally here! (5 hours later) This was

a surprise trip - and Grandma Serra was sure

surprised!

My rosy cheek baby!

Mia slept in a dresser drawer for the

first night, then we borred a pack in play.

Mia's first airplane ride

August 19, 2009

Today we left for Colorado. We had an

early flight so we had to eat cereal at the airport- what a mess!

Mia did very well on the airplane. She watched with big eyes as we took off, and she slept

the rest of the way. We lucked out because there was 6 babies on this flight and they

all slept, but it could have been very noisy if they didn't!

Ready for Swimming

August 15, 2009

Today we went swimming at Grandma and Grandpa Tompkins'

pool. It ended up being a rainy day so we just swam for about an hour, but we

still had lots of fun playing games inside.

Eating at Grandma's house

August 13, 2009

Mia enjoyed cereal and carrots at

Grandma Linda's house and she loved

playing with Missy the dog.

Little Miss Independent

August 11, 2009

Mia has started holding her own bottle!

She wants to do it all by herself, even if that

means she gets a squirt of milk in the nose! She loves to

pull it out of her mouth, look at it, and then stick it back in. Silly Baby!

The 4 month checkup

August 10, 2009

Mia went to the doctor today for her

check up and for shots. I was able to

go with this time and I hated seeing her get her shots:(

She still weighs 14lb12oz. and is 25 inches long. 75percentile for both.

The doctor gave the go ahead for cereal (mom has been sneaking it for a couple weeks)

and said to start foods in 2-3 weeks. She was super happy at the doctors office (until shot time).

Update: Mia's reflux is doing better -she's on meds for it.

Picnic time for Mia

August 9, 2009

We decided to take advantage of

the nice weather and take Mia on her

1st picnic. We invited Lindy and Alex and we

all headed to Heritage Park. We had a great time!

We had Erica and Stacy over today for

lunch and a playdate. We had lots of fun catching up and

making cute headbands. The girls had lots of fun playing together

and then we had a fun photo shoot with the girls in matching outfits.

It was fun to see the 3 girls together- We were all prego together!

Adelyn is 2 1/2 months

Mia is almost 4 months

Bridget is almost 5 months
Thanks girls for such a fun afternoon!

First Fridays

Friday August 7, 2009

Congratulations JT!

JT had his first gallery showing.

Mia and I headed Downtown for

First Fridays with Lindy and Alex.

Mia was a good baby and we had lots

of fun looking at art, and hearing the street

performers.

Mia's 3 Month Pictures

August 5, 2009

We didn't have the photographer

we wanted and Mia was a little grumpy towards

the end, but we did get some great pictures.
