one of my loves-water skiing!!!


When I was little my wonderful brother taught me to ski!  Here I am this summer and it's always a highlight of my trip when I visit my family!  Def. get sore a lot quicker now!!  So thankful for the opportunity to grow up on the lake!!  ;-)

15 months

It is so hard to believe that at this age with Mia, Nataleigh was this age when I was pregnant with Mia!  We're good for now, though!  ;-)  We'll rest in our family of four at the moment!!   

There are times that Mia still seems more like a baby to me-probably because she is our second child, or maybe because she has no hair?!?  :-)  

Eating
Mia enjoys eating!  She's picky sometimes and we've learned it's basically when Nataleigh is picky about something.  But our rule is what momma makes, that's what's for dinner and you can take it or leave it but I'm not making something different if you're not a fan!  ;-) 
Sleeping
She's still napping twice a day.  Typically 9:30-11 and 1:45-3:30.  She's in bed by 7:30 and wakes at 7:30.
Language
HUGE language milestones over the past month!  She's basically repeating everything we say, 1-2 words at a time.  Our favorite 2 word is-"excuse me" after she burps :-) 
Playing
She loves sissy!  They will be giggling in another room while I'm in the kitchen and I'll peak in to see them tickling each other, chasing each other, etc.  Of course they have their moments when they dislike sharing :-)  I'm enjoying watching their interaction as they realize they have each other through everything!! :)
Mia's a big fan of strolling her baby around outside in the play stroller.  She also loves the park and is very much into climbing right now!!  ahhh-she makes me nervous sometimes! :-)  She loves water, so it's been a fun summer for the lake and pool!  She's been walking since a little over 12 months.

Summertime pool fun!
