Snooky Great

Today we went to LA for a doctor visit at Children's Hospital LA...it's kind of nice to have a Saturday appointment so Brad can come too. We were seeing their plastic surgeon who does cranial vault remodeling surgery too. Since there was a possibility that we might do another skull surgery, we've been following up with him instead. Anyway, we've already decided that we aren't going to do another because Mia's head looks really good at this point. He was actually really pleased with her head too, he did still think it was a bit tall, but did note that he does this for a living so his eye scrutinizes kids' heads more than the average person on the street. He thinks that it won't be that noticeable when she is bigger. He talked about how we can possibly do a minor surgery when she is 6 to fill in any missing stuff from the front so she doesn't have the ridgeline anymore. So, that was good news and of course we were happy with our visit today.

After that we were off to Palmdale to visit my brother's family and their lambs. Two of their kids are doing 4H and are raising two lambs (they become sheep when they are older...) for the fair this fall...the lambs are Sassafras, because she's sassy, and MoMo, because she'll bring in MoMoney. MoMo is real gentle and let Mia sit on her and pet her...which she thought was great. Sassafras was bit more skittish, however, Mia couldn't stop laughing when we said her name...she also got real excited when the lambs chased each other around the yard. I think Mia will definitely be an animal lover someday...well, she already is now, but I definitely forsee animals in our future with this little girl and it's great, I'm glad she gets enjoyment out of God's creation.






My other brother who lives in Sacramento with his wife and 4 boys, yes, 4 boys, were down to visit this past week and their youngest boy is 3 months...I have to say it was really neat watching Mia learn to love this little baby. For awhile now she hasn't wanted anything to do with dolls of any sort, she gets real bashful around them...well, the same thing happened when she met our new nephew, Jon-Luke. She got extremely bashful and didn't want anything to do with him, but slowly, over a couple of days, she learned that she really liked the baby. And at one point, he was crying, and she crawled over to him with a look of immense concern on her face. Very sweet. So, we got to see them today also and Mia immediately wanted to be by the baby and touch the baby, she loves the baby. :)
