Hi!

Mommy...

We're having a pretty good summer so far. We went to a pool party where we didn't get in- Vince refused till 1 minute before we were leaving to try the kiddie pool. He wouldn't go in the pool, but didn't mind walking right on the very edge, just to keep me on my toes of course! He loves being outside, except for the bugs, he's getting a little too worried about them. And tonight he rode his trike all the way around the block 3 times!! It was pretty exciting to us! Still in pull-ups, no news there...

Mia will be 5 months this week. She's getting big and LOVES squealing at her brother and anyone else around for that matter. She's large and in charge- not really, just large! In 12 month clothing and growing out of it and size 4 (!) diapers. She's doing well and loves standing in her exersaucer so she can see her brother.

Have a nice 4th everyone!

Summertime...

Finally got a picture with BOTH looking and smiling! Vince was "holding" Mia, and yes, that's my wrist over there...


We went with our Mom's group to the fire station in our town, Vince LOVED it of course. Mia liked the firemen too!



Looking around in the ambulance- pretty cool!




Mia's 1st attempt as cereal. This picture doesn't show it, but she is going to be a cereal lover like her mother!




1st time in her exersaucer! She's laughing at Vince probably...

Mia has started a couple new milestones in the last couple weeks. We started cereal, which she is beginning to love, but even in the beginning kind of took to. She NEVER spit it out like Vince used to. She also started standing in her exersaucer and seems to really enjoy it. She can really watch Vince while she's in it, which she loves to do. He's her favorite already. They have their own little language which includes lots of screaming in a high pitch! It's LOUD!

We all three went to tour Fire Station here in Worthington. It was a great time and Vince was good for once, probably because we saw the trucks FIRST instead of last. Vince has also turned into Mr. Manners. I'll have to try to get a video. He says "Tank you mommy" and " 'cuse me". It's really cute. Of course I'm biased... We've started putting him in pull-ups, which he doesn't like, but he doesn't like much!! If I hear "No!" anymore I don't know what I'll do! I totally went of on Gabe the other day because he jokingly told me "no". I told him sorry, but that I had hit my quota of "no" for the day and couldn't hear it one more time!

See you later!

Mia is 4 months!

4 months!


The pudding monster

I LOVE this one!

Mia Rose has made it to 4 months and is healthy by all accounts. We went to her appointment today and she was 18 lbs., 13 oz. and 26 inches! It's funny because Vince was 19.13 at his 4 month app.! Dr. Mahoney said she looks very healthy and happy! This chunky monkey never stops smiling, even when getting shots! Have to start solids now! Rice cereal here we come... that should make for some good pictures!

Her brother, Vince is doing well. Still eating pudding, trying to learn how to peddle a bike, and being a very loving big brother. Unfortunately his talking is doing better and every other word now is "No!". It's just great...

Happy Birthday Grampy Vincent!!!
