8 Months Old & Crawling

Happy November! Mia is now 8 months old!!! I say it every month but I can't believe how fast she is growing up. Just the other day, Jake was crawling around the room telling Mia to watch and imitate him! Now she is crawling and starting to pull herself up on the furniture! 

Mia's new favorite place to play is the kitchen! Now that she can crawl there she hangs out by the trash can and the garage door....she loves my rugs!!! She also enjoys looking at her reflection and outside through our sliding glass door! Oh did we forget to mention she absolutely loves to play with shoe strings. This girl doesn't need toys that's for sure! She is so into learning now. She loves to just feel things and rub them!

We are experiencing our third cold of the season! Poor baby girl has a runny nose and cough. Mia also has 3 teeth and is working on her fourth one....all on the bottom!

Mia went Trick or Treating for the first time....our little Vikings Cheerleader visited her best friend Samantha and they played together while the Daddies handed out candy. Mia is starting to really feed herself now too. We gave her a bite of pizza the other night and she seemed to really like it.

7 Months Old, Happy and Healthy

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 :)
