Generations, Part II

Abi Lucy came to visit us for Mother's Day, so we thought it would be fun to take some family portraits to celebrate the event. And we all know how easy it is to get kids to sit still for a photo, right? ;-) Seriously, though, Mia was a trooper, and we managed to snap a couple decent ones. We also had a yummy brunch with Sean, Christie, Adam and Danny, so all in all, a lovely weekend.

Recently we noticed Mia wanted to be standing up a lot, so we found this great "excersaucer" thing on Craig's List. We had an aversion to these things at first because they take up so much space, but it was the best $20 we ever spent! She LOVES it. It has one static leg, and the other two have wheels, so she can walk around in a circle. The seat part also turns, so she can spin and catch all the action around her. When she gets excited, she'll pick up the pace and do a couple laps. It's hilarious.

Carrots!

We are branching out to veggies now. So far, so good!

Baby walks into a bar...

Mia went to her first pub last weekend. She even sat in a high chair like a big girl and almost stole Christy's beer!

We really do feed her!

Mia is at the stage where EVERYTHING goes in the mouth: toys, books, the remote control, her foot, our clothes, her clothes...

Generations

Recently Mia got to meet her great grandmother! We had a very special visit from Gigi, Mimi and Aunt Carole (baptized "Aunt Careful" by Adam when he was a toddler). We had a lovely visit, and Mia thoroughly enjoyed hanging out with everyone!
