Our Growing Family

This past week was probably the busiest we've had since Mia was born!

Thursday...Mia went with Gigi to her weekly small group.  These ladies go ga-ga over babies, so I'm pretty sure my baby was spoiled.  Every other Thursday night Pappy has a men's group, so he met Mommy at McDonald's to drop off Mia.  He said she is a great companion in the car because she sleeps!

Daddy is always telling you, "Tell Mommy to shut up!"  Se decided to tell you instead!

We <3 us a sleeping baby!

Friday...Mia's first day with Nana P.  Nana P. was so excited to see Mia, she had even brought her a new toy (yet it will be sometime before Mia can play with it)!  Then Aunt Kalla and Aunt Sara with Kynlee picked up Mia and took her shopping.  Aunt Kalla and Sara got some weird looks with two babies in tow.  Mommy then came to Gigi and Pappy's and was so excited that it was the weekend and she would get two uninterrupted days with you!

The girls...they will be your best friends!

Not sure what you were thinking here!

Saturday...What a day!  We went to Dawn's salon so Aunt Kalla and Sara could get haircuts, then to Skyline for lunch, followed by the Gap Outlet.  Aunt Kalla and Sara were going to church so Mommy took you shopping to get supplies for Compass.  We then met up with Aunt Kalla and Sara, Monica and Kynlee to eat at Don Pablo's for Sara's birthday! Sometime in between all this Aunt Sara did an impromptu photo shoot with you and Kynlee.

I love your big smile!  Thanks Aunt Sara for capturing this!

The best of friends!

I love being your Mommy!

Sunday...church!  You were awake for most of it this week!  Aunt Kalla and Sara with Kynlee came over to our house and we hit the thrift stores!

Monday...you headed to Gigi's house while Mommy had training and then I picked you up.  We cuddled until Daddy got home from his meeting and then he cuddled you and you made his bad day all better!

Tuesday...Mommy had to be at work at 6:30 AM, so we were out of the house at 4:45 AM.  Mommy was TIRED when she got home, so Daddy came with when we had to run to the store for a few things!

Wednesday...another early morning!  This one was you wanting a bottle in the car on the way to Gigi's and let's just say Mommy was great at multitasking!

Personality note:  You are so alert.  Yo definitely recognize Mommy and Daddy's voices and it is so exciting to see you react when we get home to you!  You are a routine kind of girl (like Mommy!)  You continue to be so laid back and Mommy and Daddy are thrilled with this (we definitely got lucky with you Mia!)

Mommy note:  Week 1 at work was not as bad as I thought.  Fridays take on a whole new meaning...it means 2 days with my daughter!  I saw my milk production decrease a bit, but I think most of it was because I was not feeling my best.  I am still able to pump enough to feed her everyday and store a little additional, plus we still feed together 1-2 a night.
