Doors: The New Fascination

Lately Mia can't get enough of her latest discovery: doors. It could be a cabinet, a closet or her bedroom door; if it opens and closes, she's all over it. Here's how it usually goes: Open. Close. ("Watch your fingers! Watch your fingers!") Open. Close. Pull contents of cabinet out onto the floor. Crawl away satisfied, as if to say "My work here is done."

Summer's Bounty

Our purchases at the farmers' market last Saturday were so pretty I just had to take a picture. Summer is officially here! Mia got to try cherries for the first time. Yummy!

Sleepy Alfalfa

Mia woke up a few mornings ago with this new "do."

Grampies visit

Sorry for the hiatus! Life has been a little crazy lately, but we did have a really great visit recently from Grampy Jack and Grammy Patty. We all went out to a lovely dinner (Mia's first fancy restaurant!) and the boys played basketball all day. Fun, fun!

Here Comes Trouble

The adventure continues.

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.

Hamster baby

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.
