Happy Mini-Birthday Mia....

Mia, today you are seven wonderful months old. You are now close to sitting up on your own. You roll around everywhere. You are very curious and like to grab anything within reach and put it in your mouth. You are eating baby food - and you LOVE IT! You seem hungry for the first time in your short life. You are very vocal and always excited to see us. You are a wonderful baby!

It's been awhile since our last post, and we are doing well. We are enjoying the lovely weather - spring as sprung in Chicagoland! Tomorrow, I am back at OBT which is DeVry Speak for our Home Office. Tony is enjoying his Altima. He installed his radar detector and seems to like the bigger engine. Oh....if anyone is interested in the Hyundai, it's for sale. Olivia is doing well. She is letting her hair grow long again. She had another birthday party yesterday and got to ride a horse. She was very excited! Jory is taking lifeguard lessons and is planning to be back in Mississippi in a couple of weeks. All in all, we are doing well. We hope that everyone is enjoying the spring weather and is hailing the advent of summer!
What's that you say? You want some pictures? Well, I am happy to oblige!
"Look Ma! I'm a White Sox Fan!"

"Mmmm....these White Sox taste good! Let's hope they play as good as they taste!""Mia? Mia, where are you?""Oh! I found you - over by the window, silly girl!""Look, Mom! This time, I found the movies.""I would like to watch Peter Pan and suck my thumb!""Hi Ma! I'm so glad you found me again!"It's a bird! It's a plane! No, it's Mia!"Mommy, all that flying wore me out. I'm gonna lay here and gather my strength.""Mommy, I'm so hungry I'm eating myself. Will you please feed me?"
"I'll smile nice for the camera if you feed me.""Me too, Mommy. I'm hungry. Mommy, I'm hungry."

All....I'm sorry that I haven't posted in awhile. We are all still here and alive. I hope to put up a nice big post on Sunday. Please do not die from the anticipation. :-)

Mia in real life...


Sorry that this video is sideways - I'm learning. Anyway, this is Mia enjoying her toys and chattering at us as she loves to do. We had Easter at our house this year, once again. I made a greate ham and scalloped potatoes (thank you food network). We had a great time playing spades, guitar hero and rock band. We searched for Easter eggs and played outside. All in all a very good time.
Then, Olivia woke up in the night and complained that her ear hurt. I remembered that Mia had been tugging at her ear at the begining of this cold that she has. She's a regular snot machine right now. We went to the doctor and have two nasty ear infections in two left ears. So....how did I not know my girls were sick? This is how they have been acting - running, rolling, playing, laughing, smiling, sleeping and eating. Who's to know that they are sick? I should have picked up on the slight crabbiness and clinginess. Note to self: Clingy girls may be sick - caution.

Happy Easter to All!
