So Very Thankful

We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Mia seemed to really enjoy her first Thanksgiving. We had dinner at our house with a bunch of family. She ate a little 'big people food' for the first time. She has been eating her baby fruits and veggies for a while, but on Thanksgiving she was able to enjoy a few bites off of mommy's plate. She had a little mashed potato, sweet potato casserole and her favorite, corn (I popped the insides of the kernel out of the shell and she ate the mushy insides) She LOVED it!!

We had more to be thankful for this year than ever before. Our beautiful daughter was born healthy and perfect and we enjoy every minute of her! The true meaning of Thanksgiving was more clear to me this year than ever! Here are some pics of our little turkey on Thanksgiving day!!

God Bless Amelia Grace

On November 11, 2007 was Mia's Baptism day. It was a beautiful day and ceremony. We had a nice reception at the house after. Mia was great during the very long ceremony, she even ended up falling asleep during it. She looked absolutely beautiful in her gown. This dress will become a very special family heirloom as it was made from my wedding gown (thank you Vicky!). Here are some pictures from her very special day.

Big, Big, Balloons!!

We took Mia to the Ballunar Liftoff Festival at NASA this Saturday and we had so much fun!! We hung out in the VIP tent with some friends from work, ate some good food, and walked around the vendor booths. Daddy could not help but buy Mia her first piece of "carnival junk"! But I must admit that she LOVED it. It was a light up necklace thing with a big light up dolphin attached to it. She especially loved it at night when the it was blinking all different colors - she just stared, and chewed, and stared, and chewed on it all evening! She really seemed to enjoy looking at all the big balloons too. We stayed for the balloon glow and we had a great view from the VIP tent. Here are a few pictures to enjoy......

The Sweetest Little Ladybug!

Mia truly enjoyed her 1st Halloween! I am sorry it took so long to get the pictures up! We went to Nick's cousin Sissy and Hondo's house for a fun block party and some trick or treating. We actually took Mia in her stroller and people were more than happy to drop candy in her bucket (which was sitting on the top of her stroller just as a prop), even though we told them "no thanks, she cant eat candy yet" they were insistent and so Mommy and Daddy did not mind getting some candy! :) She really enjoyed seeing all the kids in their costumes and watching all of the action! Here are a couple of pictures I took of her in our front yard in her costume.

Oh, I also need to add that Mia now waves (as is captured in the 1st photo below) It is just the cutest darn thing I have ever seen!! She waves all the time, when you tell her "hello", "goodbye", when she sees you walk into a room, or if you wave to her, she even waves at the dogs when she sees them!..........SO CUTE!!
