Mia's first visit to Disneyland

Yesterday was daddy's birthday, so we decided to take advantage of the free birthday entrance at Disneyland. This was Mia's very first visit to Disneyland and she LOVED it! Here are some pictures.

Mia loves the pool

Mia can swim all by herself! But after a while I put on her floaties and let her relax. Take a look!

Mia and Dora!

Over the weekend Mia, Nathan, Jill & I went to a Nickelodeon Weekend in Palm Springs. Mia was very excited to meet Dora, but when Dora arrive Mia was not so sure!

After a great breakfast with Dora, Mia got comfortable and even gave Dora a hug.


Mia and Nathan had a great weekend together . . . lots of kisses and hugs and of course play time!

We took some family pictures at the beach . . .

Happy 2nd Birthday to Mia's friend Megan

Mia's friend Megan had her 2nd Birthday Party on Saturday. It was so much fun! Mia got to play with Megan, swim and see a lot of her friends. Here is a shot of Mia and Daddy in the pool! It wasn't very warm, but Mia didn't mind.

Mia's Virgin Islands Vacation

Mia got to enjoy her first trip to the Virgin Islands. We spent a lot of time at various beachs and of course the pool in the backyard. Here wer are taking a ferry from St. Thomas to St. John. It's funny, Mia loved being on this boat, but when we put her on our boat at home she hates it . . .I'm thinking it's the life vest she doesn't like :)

Mia can float all by herself

Mia has been taking swim lessons for a while now. She can't "swim" but she has learned to float on her back all by herself!

Be sure to watch the last 5 seconds!

Mommy Time

This past weekend Daddy was out of town. Mia got lots and lots of Mommy time. We went swimming, played at the park, went for a walk around Soka University and just had a great time.

Daddy Time

Mommy went out of town last weekend and left me with Daddy for a day. Mia and Daddy had sooo much fun! They went to Pet Smart and Mia got to "pet" the Chinchilla.

Oh, and Daddy forgot to brush Mia's hair - check out the "do"!

Happy Easter

Mia got to visit with the Easter Bunny on Sunday. We talked all about it and she was excited! That is until we got to the front of the line. Let's just say Mia is not a fan of the Easter Bunny . . .

The birds

After a long weekend in Vegas we got stuck at State Line (waiting out traffic). Mommy and Mia decided to go shopping at the Outlet Stores. Well . . . on the way we found a little "hut" with BIRDS! OMG - Mia could not get enough! She kept yelling, "Mommy - birds - hold them please"! Over and over and over. So I gave in. Here are some pictures:

18-Months

I cannot believe that my little baby girl is now 18-months old (ok technically she is a week over that)! So to celebrate we had new pictures taken. I am waiting on the disk of all the images, but here is her new photosheet. So cute!

BTW - although her eyes look very blue - some days they are green!

Just the "park"

Mia thinks that the shopping center is the park. But hey - she has a great time.

A day at the Beach

A few weeks ago we had an amazing warm weekend. Mia, Daddy and Mommy went to Salt Creek Beach to let Mia play in the sand. But when we got there we found much more.


Daddy found a star fish in the tide pools! Mia loves stars and loves fish, when she saw a star fish she was thrilled!
And then there was the wet sand. You know, I thought that my little girl might not want to get dirty, but NOPE that was not the case. Mia loved playing in the wet sand with Daddy.

Resort Life part 2

Here is another picture of Mia at The Pelican Hill Resort. This is before she decided to jump in the water . . .

Infantino Ad

Here is a picture that Infantino is going to use for a product package . . .

Resort Life

Mia got to enjoy a day at The Pelican Hill Resort in Newport Coast. Here she was just splashing in the pool - next thing I knew she sat down - in the water! Needless to say the dress came off and she got to really swim! The pool is the largest circular pool in the world! And it was an amazing 82 degrees (never mind the 80 degree outdoor temp)!

Sing Baby Sing

Mia started singing this little song about 2 months ago but would never do it with a camera around. I FINALLY got it recorded. So cute!

Vegas Baby!

Yes, Mia went to Las Vegas to visit her Great Grandma, Uncle Steve, Cousins Kelly and Jill and second Cousin Eathan. We stayed at the Paris Casino and Mia loved the excitement. Here are some pictures of Mia and Daddy.
