7 Months (minus pictures)

Mia turned 7 months on September 23rd. The same day she took her first plane ride! She did great! We weren't so sure because she isn't the best when stuck in her car seat for a long time.
7 months was a month a firsts for her. My baby is growing up so fast!!
She visited Michigan for the first time. And got to meet her uncles, and lots of other aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. We were so blessed to be able to celebrate her baptism with our family during this visit. It was a beautiful day surrounded by lots of good friends and family.
Mia also got her first two teeth.
She also started crawling! Olivia's toys give her lots of motivation for moving around. They are the first things she goes after!
Mia also had her first sickness during this month:(

Both girls were so lucky to be able to spend almost a whole month visiting grandparents. We got to visit with Grandma and Grandma D, and Grandma Nora and Papa Luis for Olivia's birthday. And we got to spend the week at Grandma and Papa's house. Olivia still talks about how much fun she had! And Papa came home with us so I didn't have to travel by myself with the girls.

And as a side note, we have broken the third camera this year! What the heck! Sorry for the lack of pics.
Here's a cute one of our tough little cookie.

Just because we love her

I think we need at least one post about our sweet baby girl!

First Day of School

Olivia started school a few weeks ago. It has been a big adjustment for her. I guess she had more fun with me over the summer than I thought! I know once she gets used to it, she will love it just as much as she did last year.

Birthday post part 2

Olivia got to visit with lots of family and friends over her birthday weekend. We were all even surprised to get a visit from Grandma D. She decided to tag along for the trip with my mom. We really showed her a lot of Houston this time. We went as far west as Katy to Katy Mills Mall, and as far south as Galveston, to Moody Gardens Aquarium. It was a fun week!!

Happy Birthday Olivia

Olivia turned 3 on September 5th! For the most part, I think we are both loving this age so far.
She had a big bash at Chuck E Cheese. Olivia loves going to Chuck E Cheese to play, however we have learned that she does not like to be the center of attention, and she does not like a big mouse named Chuck. At the end of the day she told us how much fun her birthday party was, although you would never tell looking at the pictures of her sourpuss face.

6 months

Happy 1/2 birthday to our sweet baby girl!! Mia is weighing in at 14 lb 13 oz and is 27 in long. She's tall and skinny (?). She is so sweet and so observant. She follows everything that Olivia does. She is eating so well and has not tried anything that she doesn't like. I have a feeling that she will be moving to table food pretty quickly. Mia has started sitting up on her own. Now her favorite thing to do is stand up. She is just itching to be on the move.
