Mia's 1st Birthday!!

What a great day we have had!! Started off with presents, yay. Then Mia's favourite breakfast, bacon & eggs, Daddy wasn't complaining about that either :-)

After breaky we all had a shower & got ready for our day out at Melbourne Aquarium, woohoo. Mia loved it, she loved all the bright colors of the fish, i think the sea dragons were her favourite, & the tunnel where all the fish, stingrays & sharks swim all around you, she was amazed. While at the aquarium Mia thought that seems she was , she would try to fit 1 banana in her mouth at 1 time, it was quite funny, i think she was just trying to rush so she go back inside to see more fish!

When we got back home Nanna Raine dropped in for a visit & to give Mia her present, a new pink bike, Mia was so excited, she loved her bike straight away, she didn't want to hop out, we new immediately this would be a toy that would take some convincing for Mia to have a break from! Mia & Nanna Raine shared some big kisses & cuddles before we had to get ready to leave for netball.

After netball we ended the day with Fish n Chips & Birthday Cake at Gramps with Aunty Dan, Uncle Shane, Auntie Kerry, Isabelle, Brian (Isabelle Grandpa), & Gramps of course. We sang Happy Birthday and Mia blew out her candle, i thought Shortty blew it out & Shortty thought i did, but after reviewing the video evidence it was proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that Mia blew it out herself.

So we had a wonderful day for Mia's 1st Birthday, can't believe our little angel is one already, how time flies!! Bub's we are so blessed to have you in our lives, our little ray of Sunshine, love you this much

Fun Times

Mia had a great time today playing with her Nan (Shortt), she loves it when Nan comes to play, so many fun times, so much attention, so much love, so many SMILES. We don't tell Nan often enough just how much we appreciate it, how thankful we are, I think Mia tells her though, in her big smiles & loads of cuddles & giggles that she has just for Nan.

...Walking...

Wow, our baby girl is walking, it's so amazing, they grow up way to fast, she's been taking steps for about 2 weeks, but she walked across the room last week & now there's no stopping her! She still pulls herself up on things to get started but it wont be long & she wont even need to do that, so independent, so scary, doesn't seem as though she needs her mummy as much any more, her mummy sure still needs her though!! That feeling of love you get from your child, amazing, so warm & tender & unconditional!!

SUNSHINE, YAY!

I thought we would make the most of the little sunshine that we have been having lately & take Mia & the dogs to the park, we had a great time throwing the ball for Roxi & Lexi & playing on the swings & slide. Mia has just started trying to walk, her balance is getting really good. As a mum I just can't get enough of that "I'm SO happy right now, this is SO exciting" smile that Mia get's whenever she is flying (that's swinging for us adults)
