The Houston Zoo


A couple weeks ago when the weather was beautiful we visited the Houston Zoo. This was Mia's 2nd trip to the zoo, her first being in Buffalo when we were visiting in August. Funny thing....in August in Buffalo it was COLDER at the zoo than January was at the Houston zoo, just thought I would throw that in there!! We all had a great time and Mia really seemed to enjoy looking at all of the animals. Sadly, this will probably be the last time we use the Baby Bjorn since my little princess is almost 20 lbs and it was a little hard on mommy's back, not to mention that she is almost half my height so it looks kind of funny having her strapped to the front of me! Enjoy some pics from our day at the zoo....

Falling Behind

Sorry that I have fallen behind on my posting! I am going to try and catch up, thought it will be a little out of order. I don't have the Christmas pics on my computer yet so that post will be coming soon.



2007 was a great year....of course because our beautiful daughter was born and she is happy and healthy. The end of 2007 was a little upsetting because Mia was sick with an ear infection but she has bounced right back and she is doing great now!! She had not been acting herself and she had been fevering on and off for a couple days so in the morning of New Years Eve I made a call to her Doctors office since her fever was back. The on call nurse advised me to take her to the ER, since office was closed due to the holidays :( SO my poor baby had to endure an IV, chest ex ray (which for a baby is like a torture chamber) and a catheter!!.....Just for the Doctor to come in and say "she has an ear infection" Well Mr ER Doctor couldn't you have just looked into her ear before she was put through the ringer!! Oh well, at least other illness's were ruled out. Needless to say Mia was pooped and she rung in the New Year sleeping her little heart out. It was her 1st time being sick at all, pretty good for 9 months!! She is back to her happy playful self and we just had her follow up with her Pedi and she is fully 'ear infection' free!

Here is a pic from the Hospital, her daddy just had to document the moment, though it was not a very joyous one.
