The Many Faces of Mia

Just a couple of cute photos because we love to look at her. She has such great expressions!

 Hanging at the lake on a sunny day!

 "What's up, mommy?"

 Sneeze!!!

Oooh, what's over there?!

Mmhmmm, that's right, girlfriend!

Sleepy baby

Always with the cameras

Eehhh

I love hanging out with my mommy

Oh turtle! You make me smile!

 Mia loves looking at herself in the mirror!

What did you say?

 Roar!!!

Oooh, that was a big poopie

Oh, where did that thumb go?

 Big yawn!

 Trying to wake up

 Morning daze

Why are we inside on a sunny day?

Bath Time

I love bath time with Mia. So fresh and shiny and squeaky clean!

this is me showing Bruce how much Mia likes the bath now ~ so, of course, she cries. I think she was just trying to let us know she doesn't like an audience. 

 One of the favorites

 give her a kiss to make it all better

 see? she calmed down

 Loves getting wrapped up and dried off

 I had just bought a crab mirror for her to look at herself. It's wonderful.

another victory for Mia

Well, Mia's been attempting to master this feat for weeks now and yesterday she finally did it! She's sucking her thumb. Ok, she's done it before but yesterday was different. She was about 90% consistent in getting it in. I thought it would help her take a nap now but when she relaxed her thumb would fall out and she'd wake up so it ended up being the most fitful nap. She loves it though and makes cute little squeaky sounds when sucking on her thumb. This morning I put her in the swing a little drowsy and she drifted off to sleep looking at the mobile and gnawing on her thumb. Cute pictures below :)

It's bittersweet watching her develop. I'm so happy for her to be making progress as it's been making life a lot easier on both of us and we've finally found our groove, but I love her being my teeny tiny snuggle bug. Gosh, she's still a "newborn" and I already get weepy over her growing out of her teeniest of clothes. We have a ways to go, sheesh.
