One Month and I'm a Year Old!!!


Is it already February?! We say this every month but time just flies by when you have a little one. Mia is growing every day and learning new things. She has quite the personality and definitely knows how to get her way! We have (or I should say Mommy has) created quite the diva! As you can see from our 11 month photo, it was quite trying to get her to sit this long for this pic! This month seems like it came and went. Jake has been working lots of overtime at work so Mia tries to spend as much time with him as she can when he is home. 

With a growing personality, Mia enjoys laughing until Mommy and Daddy spot her! She also enjoys crawling as fast as she can away from me when I try to change her diaper! Some days we go through all the rooms before giving up and letting me win! Mia also loves to clap, wave hi, blow kisses, play sooo BIG and Peek a Boo!

Here's some highlights from the last month with Mia! 

Eating Culver's on my 11 month birthday, laughing and making friends with the old folks! :)




Of all the toys that I have, I really just like to sit on the couch and play with the real remote control - even though I have my own!

Smiling with our teeth - up to 8 now!

Snack time is my favorite - I have learned to stash a few under the couch for later! 

Cuddling during my nap with Daddy when he finally is home after a Saturday work day.

Waiting for Daddy to come home! I love looking out the windows!

Mommy gave me my own cupboard! I have figured out where all my snacks are! 

And I attempt to drink out of every single sippy cup in the cupboard!

I love Gold Fish!

I figured out how to stand on my jumper!

... and crawl on top of it!

Silly games with Mommy and toys!

Every time I see Mommy working, I beeline it over to her to help! 
I really am a good helper when she is working for clients!



We made my first set of Valentine's for my friends Lannon and Samantha! 

I love to play by my high chair and show Mommy who is boss during the day!

Changing my diapers are now a task for my Mommy. She has to chase me all around the house and then I hide from her under my table or under the kitchen chairs!

Hiding from Mommy!

Mommy bought me new aviators from the new Carter's in WDM. I look like Daddy now!

Reading books is my favorite past time! 
This is my new book I got from Mommy and Daddy on Valentine's Day!


Just like this house, I rule the TV shows too! One of my favorites is Word World!

Here are some of my funny videos! :) 

Just walking with my activity table while watching TV. 
Don't worry I refuse to stand on my own or walk on my own!!!!

Just some silly giggles!


Kisses from Scooby!


Peek a Boo! Mia randomly started playing Peek a Boo with me one day with her shirt! She thought she was hilarious!!!


See you all next month when the Diva turns 1 years old!!!

A New Year! with a Happy, Smiley 10 Month Old!



Happy New Year from the Heim's! We say this every month but wow time is flying by! We can't believe that Mia has turned 10 months old! Are we seriously planning this little girl's 1st Birthday Party already?! WOW!!!! Our life has forever changed but we are so blessed with this precious baby girl!

This last month, we were quite busy with the holidays! Christmas was so fun with Mia this year. Although she really only likes her first present she opened she was still so fun to watch! She really enjoyed the boxes and paper! What a spoiled little girl! She has overtaken my living room!

Although we have a happy baby, we have had 2 ear infections and have been fighting some yeast. Mia has 7 teeth now too!

We celebrated New Year's Eve at Emily's cousins house. Mia played with Abbey and loved it! However she didn't make it to midnight! We really didn't expect that since she normally is in bed, snoring away around 6:45!

Mia loves to open up my kitchen cupboards and slam the doors! She also enjoys following whoever into the bathroom and open and shut the door! Mia has discovered that she enjoys TV (which is not a surprise to us!). Here's some highlights from the last month in the world of Mia!

I love snack time! 



I'm learning to walk! Although after this attempt I now just push it from behind on my knees!


Such a big girl in my Hawkeye chair!

Shopping and meetings for Mommy's business make me tired! 

I like to help Mommy fix her couches!....Daddy doesn't approve! 



In the tub the other night, Daddy was having my toys fly off the spout! I thought it was hilarious! Even when the toys belly flopped!








Christmas 2012

I loved the boxes more than my presents!


Checking out Mema's phone with Grandpa Mike!

Merry Christmas!

 I thought I'd just play with Scooby but he didn't want to play with me!

All ready for Christmas Eve service!

Look what Santa brought me!

After Christmas disaster! Spoiled?

My favorite place to play!

Helping take down the Christmas decorations!



My second favorite place to play!

9 Months Old




Happy Holidays! We can't believe it is almost Christmas and our little diva is now 9 months old! I remember telling my Mom how I couldn't wait for Christmas in hopes Mia was crawling! and now 9 months later the season has arrived!


This past month Mia has been extra busy. We traveled to Owatonna, MN for our annual Lande Thanksgiving and Black Friday Shopping! Mia enjoyed playing at the hotel with her cousin Drew (who is 2 weeks older than Mia)! Mia even went swimming in a pool for the first time....knowing her personality we knew it probably wasn't going to go well....and we were right! She wasn't a fan! Although her buddy Drew LOVED it!

Mia even visited Santa (see post below for photos) with absolutely no tears at all! We were so proud!

Her hair is getting very long but this Mommy just isn't ready to trim it up yet!

Last weekend, we had our first Christmas with the Landes where Mia opened her first set of presents! As suspected she was much more interested in the paper and her first gift she opened, which was a book!

Mia is eating table food with us - for the most part she has what we are eating for supper. Makes it much more difficult for me to think of creative suppers these days!

Mia is learning to pull her self up on furniture - she is becoming quite the pro at it! It won't be long and she'll be walking! She has figured pulling herself up so for naps and bedtime she enjoys standing in her crib and staring at us in her video monitor!!!

Hallway crawl races with cousin Drew (he is only 2 weeks older than Mia!)

Playing Kitchen together.

Swimming is just not my thing, Mommy!

She was much happier when she was NOT in the pool!

Cousins!!!

Helping Daddy and Mommy hang Christmas Lights!

This swimsuit is a bit snug! Mia was not thrilled to go swimming!

Hot tubbing!

Crazy hair!

Such a happy girl!

Hey Mommy, I want to help on your computer!

Learning to pull herself up!

Long hair!

This is what happens at bed time and nap time! 

Holiday Baking Day with the Kies' and LaVelle's.


Mia has found her video monitor so everyday she crawls to that side of her crib and waves at us! 

Mia is celebrating her Auntie Bancks' engagement at HuHots!!!

"Grandma Kris, I think I will open some gifts early this year."

New booster for traveling!

Playing in the basket with Daddy!

Lande Christmas gift opening!

Mia LOVES books!

Jesus BINGO winner!

This sticker thing is getting ridiculous Mommy!
