Smiley Happy Baby 8 months old.

What a busy couple of weeks we just made it through... all good. End of school and a trip up to OK for a couple of weeks to just visit family, camp, and a football camp for Kaelyn. We just got back and had to wheel a cart out from the post office for all the mail we had gotten over the time we were gone. I can't wait to snap up some pictures from the sweet packages Mia received while we were gone... Know that they are loved and we can't wait to show them off!!

Mia is quite the little traveler. For a girl who hated 2 seconds in her car seat at two months she loves knowing that we are going going going when she gets inside of it now. But the best part of our trip was finding out what a little fish she is.

It has got to be the funniest thing ever to put her swimsuit on... she absolutely knows that it means pool time. She starts kicking her feet and clapping those hands. And from the moment she see the pool she is leaning as far out of my arms as possible to get in!! Then it's a toss up between being held outwards so she can kick and splash her hands or blow raspberries on my shoulder in between bounces as I jog along the pools shallow end... she laughs so hard!!

I have lots of fun pictures from the past month. Enjoy!!

What a smiley happy baby!! Under the tree at Ethan's Picnic send off..



Mia doing a little light reading at Brookelyn's last concert of the year in the courtyard.



Mia had a fun day at Six Flags...





This was her first time to sit in her stroller. She sat up so well. She loved it and had a fun time...





Here she is sitting in a highchair which is HUGE for our little girl. She is sitting so well thanks to the extra padding that the cover provides. It is really helping her to sit better and more controlled every time we use it.





I want a french fry to make you laugh!!



She is also trying to hold her own bottle more and more.



Our beloved Nap Nanny... we forgot it this trip. You wouldn't believe how hard they are to find "in stores". But I drove over 30 miles to find this one and it was worth every penny to have two now!! She can't sleep without it and that means, well you know what that means... her sleep is precious to us all!!



No worries. She didn't really ride this fun bicycle... but Kaelyn insisted on the picture because everyone else got their picture riding on it and it would be fair for her to look back and not get to see herself on it!!



Her favorite Jumper... we take it everywhere. Even camping!! She loves to bounce up and down and laugh!!



Ethan is truly a card, he loves to stick bunny ears behind her in almost every opportunity... I suppose because she is the only one he can.





Mia swimming at the campground pool.












On our way home from OK we stopped at a little diner type BBQ/fried Catfish place that had a pickle and relish bar...kids were interested to see what it was. And apparently so was Mia. Anything in our hands is a scream away from entering her little hands and mouth... she LOVED the pickle. Literally loved it. Ate all but the hard covering and wanted more. Thank goodness the mashed potatoes came!!







She's all tuckered out from the hike and swimming at Turner Falls.
