What Mia is up to...

It's been a while since I've updated everyone on what Mia is doing now...

-She tells us to sit down or "it awn" where she wants us while pointing exactly to the spot
-She changes shoes on her own up to 5 times a day (even to bed) - on the correct feet might I add!
-She says "shoes on" and "shoes off" and can now put 3 to 4 words together
-She knows her shapes (circle, square, star, triangle)
-She helps sing "Itsy Bitsy Spider", "Jesus Loves Me", "Ring Around the Rosy", "A, B, C's", and several of The Wiggles' songs
-She says how "preeetttyyy" she looks after I get her dresses - I guess I've built her confidence up!
-She loves to kiss boys on the mouth!
-She talks about Trey, Joshua, Luke, Emily, Mimi, and Papa all of the time....
-She loves pretending like she is talking on the phone
-She loves to see planes (panes) and trains (choo-choo train)
-She loves to tell you the sounds that animals make (cow, pig, elephant, dog, duck, and cat)
-She now gives the biggest and tightest hugs - they really make your day!

Mimi called the other night and told me that Mia get prettier and prettier everytime she sees her. I have to admit - I couldn't agree more. Her hair has gotten longer and blonder during the summer, she still has dazzling blue eyes, and she is all tanned after her vacation. Sometimes I just look at her in awe over what an amazing and beautiful little girl she is! Don't get me wrong, sometimes Ryan and I both want to pull our hair out when she is throwing a tantrum, but we wouldn't trade a single moment with her for anything.

That's all...

At Margaritaville...
Watch out fellas! I think we may have a heartbreaker!

Think she enjoyed her ice cream at the Creamery???? Yes - she did manage to get some in her mouth!

It's been a while since I've posted. We were on vacation the week of Labor Day - our first full week off since our honeymoon 3 1/2 years ago! We had a great week at the beach and I have lots of pictures to post!
