Our Doll



I know this blog is becoming a shrine to Mia and you'd hardly know we had any other children, but I couldn't resist posting this photo. At two months she's starting to fatten up. She also loves to smile and study everything in her line of sight. She spends more time awake and ofcourse she loves to be held, walked around, and talked to. She has also discovered her voice and loves to coo at us and vocalize while she's nursing.

Yesterday Mia was long overdue for a bath. I asked Jolie to go upstairs and get the bathtub, a towel, washcloth and a clean outfit to put on her. After being gone for what seemed like a long time, Jolie came down with all the bathing essentials and the most impressive assortment of baby clothing you can imagine. She had a dress from Mia's closet which we've never put on her (mostly because we've never taken her anywhere), a onesie, some velvety shoes, a headband, and a pair of frilly socks. Dan and I looked at each other and told Jolie we were thinking more like jammies. I promised Jolie that someday she and I would dress Mia to the nines, but for now a nice pair of comfortable PJs would do.

Wow, Mia is beautiful! I'd want to dress her up, too.

Good luck tomorrow. Let me know if I can help.

I loved the story about Jolie and the picture of Mia. Is she using all the blankets with the hand crocheted edging or just the girly pink ones?? We did not take our babies out of the home much until they were older and it is really easier not to have to bundle and go. Of course you have so many on the go to different events and school that it is kind of nice to stay home and enjoy Mia in a relaxed environment. Too bad you have had so much pain during that time. Just try not to overdo things when you can get out. Love to all, I am sending a package for Easter to kids. SUSAN

I've had the chance to spend a lot of time with Mia the last month.I have seen her little personality develop and we have gotten to know each other. What a special little bundle of joy.
