Christmas Day

Mia enjoyed lots of quality time with Uncle Allan and Tia Raquel.  This trip was their first time meeting Mia as she was born 3 days after they were married in Zamora, Spain.

Mia exchanged funny faces with Cousin Gregory.

Practiced her spanish with Raquel's sister Paloma.

Enjoyed seeing Aunt Mary Beth

And even helped Grammie open some of her gifts.

She particularly enjoyed drinking water from glasses, pictured here with Grandpa and Grandma.

Christmas Morning

Mia got to be Santa's Helper Elf on Christmas morning.


She enjoyed talking on her new phone with Grandma.

And playing with Aunt Kate.

Christmas Eve

Mia got all dressed up for Christmas Eve dinner.

Mia's First Solids

Since Mia turns 6 months on Wednesday, she got to try solids for the first time this week. She enjoyed finally getting "real" food (if you can call rice cereal mixed 1:4 with breast milk real food).

Mia waits in anticipation while Mom prepares the food.

She was very interested in the plastic bib.

Her First Bite!

"Hey, give it back!"

"Oh, some rice cereal got on Mom's hand. Mmm, mmm good."

"Let me try this whole spoon thing."

"Dad, will you be daring enough to feed me next?"

W Family Picture

Nina and Taid got to have all of their kids and respective families together for the first full family picture with Mia in attendance.

Christening

Mia was baptized at the early morning service on Sunday, the 23rd. We have many friends and family able to attend both the christening and join us for breakfast after.

Christmas is Coming

Mia is starting to excited for Christmas. She watched this weekend with great interest as we brought in the tree and set it up in our living room.Friday Night Lights:
What will Mommy and Daddy do next?

Mia hangs her first ornament (well, technically, she is pictured unhanging her first ornament).
A few special ornaments to celebrate Christmas 2007.

Now Dad, we need to discuss this present thing I've heard so much about...

Learning to Share

Wednesday evening was spent at Polly and Emma's house. We were also joined by Kate and Anna. Emma, Anna, and Mia were all born within about a week of each other.

Mia and Anna spent some quality time on the floor

Tasting each other's toys...

Deciding that maybe your toy that you didn't want before looks better when it is in someone else's mouth...

Determining that it is possible for you to both gnaw on the same toy at the same time...
(Talk about close friends!)

And at the end of the day, you sit back and relax with the party host,
or rather put up with your mothers forcing you into one chair for some cute pictures.
