Family Vacation!! =)

My most Amazing, Wonderful, Awesome Hali (Chris) took us on a family vacation for my early birthday present! It was soooooooooo great to get away & spend time together as a family! I'll write more later, but for now here are some of my fav pics.



Our hotel room.


Mia the Lifeguard! ;)


BEACH!


Zoo!


Boardwalk =)


Peek-a-boo!


View from our balcony-right on the beach!


We celebrated Daddy's Day, our 4th anniversary & my early birthday while we were gone. Mia told Chris "Happy Daddy's day" on Father's day & then everyday after that Mia would say "Happy Daddy's Day!" It was so cute! =) She also told us Happy Anniversary! During the trip & since we have been home she has been telling us Happy Daddy's Day, Happy Mommy's Day or Happy Anniversary randomly throughout the day! Thanks Baby! =)

Mia picked out this shirt during our trip!

Mia & Uncle Tony =)

Mia & her Uncle Tony (my bro) play this "game" together, it's really cute!

...cha, cha, cha!

Today Mia panted & barked in her sleep! Colby jack has made an impression on her!

Mia says "Hold you" when she wants us to pick her up ;)

About the videos: the other day Mia had diarrhea & I said, "Oh, you have diarrhea" and she repeated "diarrhea"! Then Chris said, "Diarrhea, cha, cha, cha." and of course Mia copied him! It was soooooooo funny! Here are 2 video of her saying "Diarrhea, cha, cha, cha!" =)-

Funny Mia things...

Mia & I were coloring & I personalized her diaper (look for the letter M on her diaper)! Hehehe! =)-


Mia's new favorite way to "dress" is a diaper & shoes! (Well, she really prefers to be naked , so this is her 2nd fav way) =)-

We have a video of Ethan (Mia's cousin), which Mia loves to watch. In the past month or so she has been re-enacting the Ethan video. She will get a pacifier, sit in her bouncy seat, drop the pacifier, say-"Oh dear, dropped the dum-dum", fake cry & then put the pacifier back in her mouth. It is really funny! Hehehe!



It's amazing that just by listening Mia uses plurals, possesives, -ing, of, & the.

Soon we will be playing volleyball together! Woohooo! =)


Mia & her buddy Colby "Polby" Jack =)



Mia whacking the pinata! Fun,fun!


My brother Tony has taught Mia some new words & phrases which Mia repeats- Bomb diggity, crazy, my life & other ones I can't remember right now... =)-

Mia mimics Chris' singing face! Super cute!




Just being cute & silly! =)





OH! Mia counted to 20! It was amazing! We were so surprised & proud! ;)

Happy Belated 19 months Mia-rooni =)

Time is going so fast & Mia is doing soooooooo much! Here are some Mia stories & pics-enjoy! =)

Mia likes to take off her diaper & has even done so during the night! She also only wants to wear Ernie diapers...anyone want to trade for Ernie diapers? ;)

My dad (Papa) calls Mia & I "darling" & when we saw him a couple of weeks ago Mia started calling Papa darling too =) "Hi darling" or "I love you darling"

During dinner Mia does not like to sit on her highchair for a long time, so we have been encouraging her to sit with us while the rest of us eat. To hurry us along Mia goes around the table and declares that we are all done too: "All done Mia, all done Mommy, all done Daddy, all done Tony & all done Nona".

Mia sometimes calls her Daddy "Hali" which is what I sometimes call him =) Hehehe!

Mia noticed my collar bone and wanted to know what it was. When I told her that it is my bone she immediately said, "Bone for puppies?" "Um, yeah, kinda, but puppies eat different bones." I replied. A couple of minutes later she brings all her stuffed puppies to eat my bone! Hahaha! It was really funny & a couple of times she pretends she is a puppy & "eats" my bone too.

Mia loves our new housemates- Tony, my mom (Nona) & Colby Jack (her dog). She calls Colby "Polby" and feeds him bones =)

Mia & I "made" & decorated a pinata for Cino de Mayo =) Then I put a couple of her favorite treats in the pinata, we hung it outside & Mia whacked it! She has alot of fun-next year we are getting a real pinata with candy!




I told Mia she was pretty & then she said, "Aria pretty, Hannah pretty, Lauren pretty & Mommy pretty" So sweet!

Mia likes to stack things, here is a subtle hint that she would really, really like some blocks...(and that I really like ice cream & go a bit crazy when it is on-sale) ;) Oh & she does have blocks now.


Fun pics from the zoo-

More friends-
