Mia's Mama is M.I.A.

We're pretty much 10 weeks into this beautiful pregnancy and I'm feeling soooo much better. I honestly haven't taken many shots, we haven't really been many places, and being on the PC too long makes me even more nauseous. For those who've missed Mia, here are some shots taken at Casa T by Ms. Andrea. Mia has the MOST fun there. They do all sorts of art stuff, cook and bake, go on nature walks, sing and dance, learn a bit of Spanish, even practice yoga and SOOOooooo much more :)

all shots taken by the lovely Andrea

I wanna see my friends

With this whole pregnancy thang, I haven't been feeling well...especially this week. If it wasn't for Casa T, swimming class and gymnastics, Mia wouldn't see any of her friends. Every morning I ask her what she wants to do, and it's pretty much always 'go to a playdate and see my friends'. We are meeting some friends up at the park this morning, so I hope that gives her a good friends fix that can get her through the weekend. Here are some shots from an impromptu playdate we hosted a couple of weeks ago.

Angel Butterfly Biker

After hangin in the grass a little, Mia was back on her trike, this little one couldn't decide if she wanted to wear her butterfly or angel wings...she went with both.

Much like my daughter, I'm having a hard time picking my Best Shot....I love them all, but will go with the one below because I love everything about it. You'd never know how much a struggle it is for her to turn those darn pedals...she looks so confident.

For more Best Shots...head on over to Tracey's

May I Hold Her?

Now that we're almost 8 weeks pregnant with our second baby, I've been thinking a lot about the birth of our first. Our Mia. There were so many wonderful first moments, but when I look back at pictures, I'm reminded of the sweet looks and cooing she received, then the hopeful looks to Daryl and me with the question, 'May I hold her?'

Some sweet bloggin gals, Kristen and Rebecca are growing their families as well. Let's give them warm wishes and sweet thoughts....soon everyone will be asking them 'may I hold your baby?'.

The Trike

I just found these shots! I LOVE it when that happens :)

A few weeks ago, we went out and got Mia her first trike. She was soooo excited once we got it home, but then so NOT when she realized that Daddy had to assemble it. She was pretty patient and I was proud of Daryl for following the instructions...his baby's safety was at stake and he was taking his job very seriously.

After quite a while, it was ready to GO! Mia tried it in the house while her daddy was putting on his shoes.

Once we all got outside, much to my husbands chagrin, Mia was distracted by the neighbor's cat....for a LONG time. He patiently watched her play. What a fab daddy!

Then he and the trike were up. Mia struggled, but her daddy was right there with every turn of her pedals.

more trike delays due to kitty drama

then she found that she could pedal so much easier barefoot, and got on the road again.
