Thanksgiving at the Beach

So we spent Mia's first Thanksgiving at the beach with Ry's family. We had a BLAST! Even though it was cold, it was still BEAUTIFUL!





Trust me, Turkey is JUST as good by the sand as it is back at home! :)

Some videos of my sweet baby girl!

Being a mother is amazing. It is so challenging at some times, but the fun part of it blows those challenges out the water! Here are some of those amazing moments captured. It's the little things that melt your heart...



amazingness..

Halloweeeenie!

It was Mia's first halloween and she was a wittle wamb. The cutest wittle wamb there ever was... =) We spent the afternoon at Goddy and Auntie Trish's house and had a BLAST!



She wasn't too sure about her costume at first, but then she got over it and came through as her usual trooper-self.





She's the best!




Love our little Angel!

Crawling!

Our days of containing Mia are becoming a thing of the past...


No matter how many toys she has, she just wants the dogs toys.

Getting Crafty

So I thought it would be a bright idea to make my own Christmas wreath...




Two and a half hours later...I had a wreath, a headache, and 1000's of tiny little cuts on my hands thanks to the sparkly twigs here and there on the wreath. At least it's pretty...

Swingin Away!

We bought Mia this swing at the Oak Alley Craft Fair, and I think Ryan and I have more fun pushing her in it than she has in it!






Love it!

Little Ham...

So my friend Megan and I had to make a last minute halloween trip to Party city, and my Mia was such a trooper! Check out the evidence....




Kid's a trip!!!

Oak Alley Craft Fair! =)

It was the first day of FALL WEATHER, so we packed the car and headed out to Vacherie where my mom and stepdad live. My lovely step-pops, Vince, came and picked us up in his SuperCHARGED golf cart and we rode VIP to the craft fair! They had sooo much stuff, but I'm remembering the best was the Pralines. MMMMMMM MMM! Uncle Adam and Aunt Lauren came with us and we just had a lovely little last minute family day! Always a blasty blast!!! =)





Oh--and did I mention that Uncle Adam got Mia to really REALLY crawl! Priceless memories...

Mia's first trip to the ZOO!

This past Sunday was our first trip to the zoo with MIA! It was precious...the zoo was decorated with all kinds of halloween decorations, and there were kids EVERYWHERE! I think Mia was more interested in them than the animals. :) The weather was perfect and we walked and walked and walked (and even got lost--sad, i know) for hours! By the time it was time to go, Mia was passed out in her stroller, and mommy and daddy were pooped!






I can't WAIT to bring her back--and I can't wait until next year when she'll be big enough for Boo at the Zoo!
