Memories

Mia has just started to walk around with her hands behind her back, it reminds me so much of my Gramps, I miss him so much!! Mia never got the chance to meet her Great-Gramps, yet she has a few characteristics that remind me of him. I pray that she will grow to be like her Gramps, he was so loving, patient, kind, gentle, FUN, cheeky, wise, oh he was awesome. He use to walk around with his hands behind his back & his tummy sticking out, we use to think he was so cute, now our little girl does it, & still it is sooo cute!

Friends

Some dear friends of our, C & L came to play today. It is amazing to watch Mia interact with younger children, she is so gentle, suprisingly patient, she is going to make a great big sister one day!! We love the time we get to share with these 2 beautiful people!

Painting

I LOVE being a mum, I LOVE that I have time to do activities with my little angel & I LOVE knowing that we are taking steps to allow me more time to share with Mia as she grows from a bub to a toddler, a toddler to a teenager (i know i missed some steps but it seems that what's she's doing :-) )

Mia had a great time painting yesterday, she especially liked painting her hand!! Thank God for non-toxic paints!!

Too Cute

She just makes me melt inside, i love her so

Scary...

I think she looks a little to comfortable behind that wheel, only 15 years to go!

We had a great day at Bodhi's birthday party. IT alsways seems to be so long between catch ups, we need to get better at MAKING time for friends, becuase if you don't make it then it never will happen!

First Car

Today Mia, Nan & I made Mia's 1st car. She had a create time zooming around, beeping her pretend horn 'beep, beeeep' she would go. "mor, mor" she would ask if we stopped for a breather.

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
