Pant like a puppy & quack like a duck!

You have to listen closely in this video...Mia pants like a puppy dog & then quacks like a duck! Hehehe!
Mia loves puppy dogs & gets so excited when she sees them. When Mia sees pictures of ducks or puppies she makes their sounds, but the best is when she sees a puppy in real life...anyone have a spare puppy we could have (preferably a golden retriever)?
;)
Recently Aria (Mia's friend) petted Mia's head like she was a puppy dog-it was so adorable & Mia does make a cute puppy ;) I can see how Aria thought Mia might be her puppy because sometimes when Aria walks Mia crawls at her side!

New Smile?

Today I smiled at Mia & she smiled at me, but it was a different smile!
She made this huge open mouth grin & it was sooooo cute! I got the camera & asked her to smile again & she did several times. Is this her new smile? Hehehe ;)

Who needs toys when you have a cardboard box?

The other day Mia discovered a new & exciting toy- a cardboard box! It is in Chris' office & every time we visit him she has to play with her new discovery! If I knew how much fun she would have with boxes I would have just bought her a bunch of boxes all different sizes instead of her fun, colorful toys! ;) Normally she just climbs all over the box, but in this video she started "walking" with the box-who needs toys with wheels when she has a box!
We have lots of boxes in our garage, maybe I will build us a fort & see how much fun boxes can really be! =)-

Dance, dance, dance!

This video is sideways too-oops!
Mia started "dancing" a couple of weeks ago & I caught it on tape =) I'm starting to write like I talk to her- jump, jump, jump or dance, dance, dance-ha! I think it is a baby thing, I hope we are not the only ones who talk in repetition, repetition, repetition! ;)

Jump, jump, jump!

Jump, jump, jump! This is Mia in her Jump-a-Roo a couple days ago. Before she was too short for her feet to reach the floor, but Mia has grown & is now able to jump! It was really cute & she was excited to finally jump in her Jump-a-Roo! =)
Oh, and sorry the video is on its side, I don't know how to turn it!

1st Zoo Trip!

Over July 4th, Mia went to her 1st zoo. It was the El Paso zoo & just so she wouldn't get overwhelmed by all the wild animals the zoo animals picked that day to just lie around or hide-HA! She really liked the elephants & the seals! =)
Good thing the El Paso zoo is so small because it was really hot & we didn't stay too long, but we were able to walk the whole zoo!
Here are a few pics of Mia's 1st zoo adventure.

Mia's wonderful family! Last slideshow for a bit ;)

Mia 7 to 9 months!

Mia's 6 month portraits =)

Mia 4 to 6 months!

Mia 0 to 3 months!

Finally a blog! I got motivated because our really good friend Mia writes a blog for her daughter Aria (who is only 4 months older than our Mia), so here it is! Enjoy! =)
Check back soon for pics & hopefully videos, once my love Chris teaches me how to post videos...

The above picture was taken in May in Estes Park, Colorado. Mia was 6 1/2 months old & experiencing her first hike (in the Rocky Mountains) & first snow! We went to Estes Park with my family while my brother (Joey) & his wife (Jules) were visiting from Perth, Australia.
