Dress up Queen

One thing I love about Mia is that she is so girly. She loves all things girl: bows, headbands, necklaces, rings, bracelets, purses, pretty skirts and shoes. And she also loves dressing up! For Christmas she got a dress up set and today she was loving it. She has been putting on her heels all morning and walking in them and she is pretty good at it! She is going to be a pro. I helped her put on her clip on earrings and she loves them. Maybe it is time to get her ears pierced?? She also found a headband that she just had to wear today even though it doesn't match! I can hardly wear jewelry or headbands myself because if I am wearing some she insists on taking it from me and wearing it herself. I love that she loves the girly stuff, it makes it so fun!

Baby Binky

The other day Mia found one of her baby binkies. For 2 days straight she was obsessed with it. Now I have to hide it because if she finds it or sees it she freaks out and wants to suck on it all day. Maybe I should just get rid of it. Seriously??? She stopped using a binky around 8 or 9 months old. She got an ear infection and never used one again. It was the perfect way to wean herself off of it. I'm glad she doesn't have to have a binky but it is the end of the world if she sees one.... yep, its going in the garbage.

Happy Valentines!

Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends



Happy Valentine's Day!

From: US!

I Will always love you.....

Such a gorgeous & talented woman. I was named after her and so naturally when I was younger I absolutely adored her. I grew up listening to her music and loved dancing to it with my sister. I wanted to be Whitney Houston! Sad that she has passed away so young. She was phenomenal!

Valentine's Day Craft Night

Last night we had a  fun girls night making Valentine's Day Crafts. Nicole went all out with the decorations and I helped some...(She should take most of the credit though) It was fun to get together. I love to craft! Check out some more pics on our other blog here:

Superbowl XLVI

I don't really care much for football, but I love the Superbowl. It is like a Holiday for our family. We get together at my parent's house and my dad puts on a big huge feast. He literally cooks for 100 people but its just my little family & my bro's family that are there.  This year he made his ammmmazing potato cheese soup like he usually does but the main course was something new: Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich bar. It was complete with roasted green peppers, red peppers, onions, chicken & steak, provolone, cheez whiz. It was delish! And of course we had all the other yummy snacks like my bro's queso dip, salsa, etc. I was in charge of desserts so I brought my homemade thin mint cookies and I made some Superbowl themed Sugar Cookies.  The NY logo was much easier to decorate than the Patriots so I ended up with more Giants Cookies than Patriots. I must have known they were going to win!

As usual I didn't pay much attention to the game. Just enjoyed the yummy food & the great company. I was also entertained watching Mia play with her cousin Tess. They have a hard time sharing. When one of them has a toy, the other one wants it. So,  they spent alot of time wrestling eachother. It was all in good fun. They were having a great time!

Minky

Mia is obsessed with her minky blankets. When she wakes up in the morning and I go to pick her up out of her crib she immediately points to her favorite minky blanket. She insists that I wrap her up in it. Then, she will cuddle with me for a while. Sometimes even 15 minutes! I cherish every minute of this time that she will cuddle with me. Throughout the day if she sees a blanket she will carry it around, and throw a fit until I wrap her up in it.

Here she is with her favorite minky blanket. Made with love by her Grammy:

 Mia also loves reading books and these little tiny Sesame Street books are her favorite lately...

 All wrapped up in a blanky with a book in hand in the car seat!

I love spending every day with my little princess. She is growing up so fast and learning new things every day. Her new words are: Jesus, Stinky, Woof, Dog

She is so precious and can point Jesus out in pictures, even ones where He is surrounded by people. She will grab his picture and want to kiss Him. I think she remembers him. :)
