Building at Lowes

Our first building project at Lowes this am.  Mia had a great time using the hammer :)

Finally.............she drove her car

definitely view in full screen mode and HD.

and a New Year begins!!!

"I count to 10"

You & I know this is Kai Lan but Mia calls her Dora and she calls Dora Dora.......not sure why she hasn't figured them out yet.
 This is part of a cute little outfit Tracy, Bob & Owen sent Mia.  (Tracy it fits now & she loves it)  :)

Happy New Year to everyone, we are off to a wonderful start.  Today I took Mia to daycare (school as we call it).  she started in the over 2 class so it was a pretty big deal for her.....uhhhh and mommy too.  This class is in the same building only on the other side and the classes have more kids in there.  She was fine with going to "school" but when we got in her new classroom she became one with my leg.  It was hard to leave her when she started crying, I had a few tears too on the way out the door.

Here are a few departing pics before the crying started (Mia & Mommy)

Mia & Mommy 1st day of the "Butterfly" class in Daycare.  

Christmas 2011

I still have more pictures to process but here are a few of today's festivities.  This video was one of her melt downs, we had a few today.  Not only has she been sick, we learned today that you DO NOT let a 2 y/o open her presents on Christmas morning before breakfast-EVER, that started the melt downs off wonderfully.

Look what Santa brought.

Looks pretty, too bad she wont get in it.

My new ride

One of the gifts from Jonni and the girls.  The medical set they sent was so cute.....have to find that pic.

One of our gifts from Hannah, they also spoil us!!!!

Up early

Mia is staying home with mommy today as she keeps spiking a temp.  You would never know this girl is sick, she is almost always happy.  I thought she just might sleep in today but nooooooooooooooooooooo we are up at the crack of dawn.  I hope this means early nap :)  

Hairbows

Yea, my mama makes my hair bows, don't hate you just might get some too.........and I have ALL colors :)

Hair bows

I look pretty cute for being sick (AGAIN!)  Tonsillitis and bil. ear infections..............daycare is rough.  Mommy & Daddy are also on antibiotics now since I seem to being home all the "kid germs".  Not good when the pharmacist sees you coming and says "Oh No" and I say "Oh yes".

Santa 2011

Yea, we knew this was going to happen :)  This is a picture of the picture, I managed to get a little video footage too (before they caught me).  I will try and get that up this week sometime.  All was fine until she got up close and personal with the 'ole guy.

They took a few more shot with daddy holding her near Santa but we really think this one captures it perfectly :)

Using new words

The word of the week has been "ouch" and we are hearing it a lot....not when she falls down of course just whenever she feels it is right.   

She can now count with help up to 10....I will try and get some video of her but lately when she sees the camera she clams up or looks away.

This is Mia this morning @ 0545 before leaving for daycare.

getting ready for Christmas
