A fun playdate at Erica's house

November 2009

The girls were too cute! They

were playing and crawling all over

each other. We also took advantage of the

beautiful weather and hung out in the backyard.

I love their tree swing! I had lots of fun seeing everyone-

everyone is growing soooo fast!

My Biggie girl

Mia has started pulling herself up! We had to

lower her bed and baby proof her room. Her new thing

is to crawl into the Nelson's playroom and

play with the boys' cars and trucks. She is such a kid!

Happy Halloween!

Mia's first cold

October 20, 2009

Mia has been a sick little baby this week. She

got a cold and has a runny nose and a fever.

She wants to sleep, but has a hard time breathing out of

her nose. She has been very cuddly.

6 months old

October 14, 2009

update:

Mia is happy and healthy at 18.9 lbs and is eating

stage 2 foods. She eats some finger foods and loves using her

sippy cup! Mia is army crawling and lunging forward. She definitly gets

where she wants to go! We love playing with other kids and with toys.

She is finally sleeping without the swaddler, but we are still waking up

every 4-5 hours to eat.
