The Week Mia Turned 6 Months

Mia Grace -

6 months old.

Whew!

You are a beauty!!
With your blue eyes and gorgeous smile,

those dimples,

the way your hair lightly touches the top of your ears,

the way my lips are drawn to your cheeks,

the smell of your skin,

your sweet giggles,

I love you...

I love you to pieces.

- 

I could stare at you forever.

I could smell you forever.

I could hold you forever.

You LOVE to play Peek-A-Boo, Patty Cake, and sing The Itsy Bitsy Spider.

You are super cute when you rub your itches.  Your hair is at just the right length where I think it tends to tickle the top of your ears.

I know you are going to LOVE riding roller coasters.  You love to be bounced, rocked, and flown around the room as an airplane.  One of your favorite things to do is lay on your belly and ride on mommy's knees high into the air.

You have really enjoyed tasting new foods and expanding your flavor palate.  Last night for dinner you had sweet potatoes and white beans.  You loved it.  I think your favorite thing to eat right now (besides your mama's milk) is bananas mixed with in with avocados.

Mia is getting smarter, prettier, and bigger by the minute.

Time flies and I'm trying to hold on with all I've got!!

Besides Mia turning six months old this week, 

We spent time at the park walking and exploring.

The kids were blowing on dandelions and making wishes.  When I asked Makayla what her wish was, she told me that she wishes she was a mommy and that she had a baby girl. 

We went swimming in Grandma and Grandpa Allen's backyard.  Mason is a fish.  He loves to swim - He loves to jump in and he loves to go under water . He hasn't perfected the whole idea of keeping your mouth closed when you go underwater and that's definitely something we'll need to work on this summer! 

We went on a field trip with Makayla's preschool class to Fondulac Farm Park.  We got to see and feed the farm animals, milk a cow, play at the park, touch a toad, and have lunch with Makayla's friends. 

We had another program for Makayla -

her 2013 Kids Club Finale.
Makayla's class performed on stage, singing and acting out several songs.
Makayla did a great job and was presented with a medal and certificate.

Besides being busy with the kiddos this week, we've been busy with other grown up things as well...but taking the time to do things like a walk at dusk to Dairy Queen and a relaxing drive at night to smell the country (I LOVE smelling the country) helps to balance out the stresses...
...and thanks to Nurses Week, we got free massages at work yesterday!  A free 15 minute massage was a fabulous way to end the work week.  

I moaned and I drooled...
