Fall Family Photo!

6 Month Photos with Becca

Happy Fall!!! We have a happy 7 month old baby!

 

 

Playing basketball with Daddy! 

Mia got a new basketball hoop from a family friend and absolutely loves to play with her Daddy!

Highlights from the past month!

• Being much more mobile! Mia is moving all over in circles as she figures out how to scoot around the room! 
• Mia will even wave at you! Maybe not on command but she enjoys waving at trees, the window and lots of other objects! 
• A third tooth has decided to make its way in! It officially broke the gumline yesterday!
• Eating real table food. Mia loves cheese, spaghettio's, ravioli and rice. We even tried feeding ourselves and instead we decided to play in our food!
• Mommy takes me shopping quite a bit....because I always need diapers or food! I get tuckered out fast!
• ....and the most fun thing this month has been going to the Pumpkin Patch and picking out some pumpkins with her friend Samantha!!

     

Daddy dresses Mia up for his Vikings! He claims she is his good luck charm! When you are as precious as Mia how can you not be!

Emily's sister in Korea sent her a beautiful Korean outfit and accessories. 

Target is my favorite store!

I get to read the Sunday paper with Daddy! But then they take it away from me!

I love playing with my socks and toes! My Daddy lets me watch cartoons when Mommy isn't looking!

Learning to feed myself is so much fun....my Mommy really LOVES my messes! ;)

The goats kept trying to eat my socks!

I really loved just trying to play with the hay!

Pumpkin Patch makes me tired!

Reading my Bible every night before bed and upgrading to the bath tub...no more baby tubs!

Helping Daddy on the computer!

Mia - 6 Months Old

Mia turned 6 months old today! WOW! Time has really flown. Is my baby already half a year old??

In the last two weeks, Mia has 2 teeth!!! We roll over all the time especially at bedtime! Mia loves to eat her toes and anyone else's who are near her! She still loves to be outside. Yesterday, Mia went to her first Hawkeye tailgate! 

We're working on crawling but we still don't quite get it! We are attempting to get on our knees though! Mia still is eating baby food and has discovered she dislikes peas, peaches, pears and is not a fan of sweet potatoes. She does enjoy carrots, green beans, mixed veggies, garden veggies, chicken and noodles, etc! 

After a long day of shopping and no napping with Mommy and Grandma Kris, 

Mia decided to crash on the walk to the car!

I absolutely love swinging!!!!

Favorite thing to do: walk around!!!

Sure Dad, I'll eat some of this grass that you told me not to!

Love being high!

Our little family :)

Mommy's 26th Birthday

Yesterday was Mommy's 26th Birthday! We celebrated by taking naps and going out to eat at HuHot with my buddy Sammers and her family!

Mia - 5 Months Old!

Mia is 5 months old today! We have upgraded from the baby newborn blue tub to our new seal bathtub! Mia has started eating baby food and absolutely loves it! She devours most containers in a meal!! I think her favorite of the three we have tried so far is carrots! She wasn't a huge fan of the peas but she still ate them! Our little diva is growing up so fast! Daddy hung her swing under our deck and it is one of Mia's favorite past times! She loves to be outside. We are working on sitting up unsupported. Mia can sit up by herself for about 5 minutes until she gets wobbly so we are really close to being an unsupported sitter!!!

New bathtub!!!

One of my favorite things to do is pretend to be a gymnast!

I can now stand and hold on to stuff! 

Big girl sitting up!

LOVE the grass!

Green beans are yummy!!

I love to play outside!

 I love my swing!!!

I love my sippy cup!

All ready for Hawkeye tailgating this fall!
