Fun Video

We had a blast at Greg and Joy's 4th of July BBQ!
Here is a small taste for you to enjoy.
PS. I love Lisa and Tony's dialog in the background

From our family to yours...Happy 4th of July!

Hey everyone, check out me in my helmet!! That's my Grandma Cheri holding me. I like it when she talks to me, I like it when anyone talks to me. Grandma Cheri says I look like I'm ready to go riding a bike, what do you think Daddy? You want to take me for a bike ride? Grandma Cheri also calls me her long grasshopper because I'm so long...not because I look like a grasshopper. :)

Today Mia had her first work session with her "teacher", Miss Carmen. She came over and worked with Mia on rolling and sitting and standing. And then the fun stuff happened. They sang songs, touched different textures, played with bubbles...Mia loved the bubbles, she was so entranced with them. And then they colored! Mia colored her first picture for Daddy today. Miss Carmen also teaches sign language at the same time, so that was real neat!

We also went to the pediatrician today and Mia is still 13 pounds 3 ounces, but she's now 26 inches. She was not quite 17 inches when she was born, so she is now 9 more inches which is great. We talked about trying her on a different formula to see if she might like that better than what she is getting, so we'll go ahead and try that in the next few days. Overall she thought she looked great.

Mia also started wearing her helmet today. You are supposed to ease them into wearing it, so she'll wear it for an hour a couple of times today and then we'll gradually increase. She didn't seem to mind it too much, but pray that we'll get the fit worked out because it doesn't seem quite right yet...we are going to see the helmet people next week Tuesday when we go to LA.

Here are some pictures of me in my bumbo chair. Mommy is always taking pictures of me...I like the flash, it's neat. I now have two toofers and mommy got real close to take this picture of my toofers...you might have to zoom in to see them because they are just barely above. My fingers really like the way they feel so I'm always sticking my fingers in my mouth now.
