Family Fun!

We planned to go to the zoo on Sunday afternoon during my family's visit but there was some crazy traffic issue. We just kept sitting and sitting so we decided to save the zoo for another time. Instead, we went and had some Mexican food and spent time together at the house.

Savannah got to play with Mya and read her some books. Mya LOVES books! She will sit on my lap and listen to stories as long as I will read them to her.



Gracie missed her Grandma. She soaked up lots of attention that weekend.



Toni being attacked by Sam.



Mya sitting on the couch like a big girl with Grandma Janie.



Having some fun with Aunt Toni!



Giving some love to Savannah.



We were so happy you could come visit! We had a blast! We love you and can't wait to see you again!

Take Me Out to the Ballgame!!!

Last Saturday, April 17, Mya went to her very first Cardinals game! My mom, sister, and niece came for a weekend visit and went with us. Here are a few favorite pictures from the day.

Daddy and Mya coming through bag check. Kids got a free pennant that day so we have a souvenir from Mya's first game.



Mya was dressed in her Cardinals gear for the game. She wore her blue jeans, Pujols tshirt, and new pink Cards hat that her Daddy got her. Such a cutie!!





Mya was ready for some shopping, some Build-A-Bear fun and some BASEBALL!!






Savannah and Mya made Fred Birds at Build-a-Bear. Thank you, Savannah, for Mya's first Build-a-Bear trip.



LOVE this picture of Mya sitting on her Daddy's lap watching the game.



Getting some kisses from Grandma Janie.



Taking a little rest during the game.



Of course, we were hoping to see Pujols hit a homerun, but it never happened.



The girls: Toni, Savannah, Mom, Mya and me.



So at this point, as we are going into the 10th inning...



...and at this point...you gotta call it a night.



No, we did not stay for the whole 20 innings of the game. We thought we were only leaving a little early at the 10th inning. Little did we know that was only halfway through the game!




Toni, Savannah and Mom ~ So glad they could be at Mya's first game with us!



We had a blast at Mya's first game! Can't wait to go back again! Maybe we will win the next one. Go Cards!!!

Carrots and Squash and Bananas, Oh My!

Mya has been trying several new foods lately. Carrots went pretty well. After the first bite, she had a look that seemed to say, "Something is wrong with my sweet potatoes." After a few bites though, she was okay with them and finished the whole bowl.





Next, we tried squash. Mya will eat it but it does not seem to be a favorite. She is very vocal when eating sweet potatoes..."Num, num, num." Not so much with the squash.




And then came bananas...This was Mya's first fruit and her first taste of something sweet. Every time she takes a bite of banana, she seems to tense up. I guess she is not used to the sweet taste yet. She likes it better mixed with her oatmeal or rice cereal.





Look at our big girl drinking water out of her sippy cup. She's growing up so fast! Mya LOVES water. She gets so excited and has a big smile every time she sees us get her cup out. Daddy says, "Good girl!" Too cute!

Easter Fun at the Zoo!!

Easter Sunday was such a beautiful day that we decided to get out and enjoy it. We took Mya on her first visit to the zoo! We thought that she might like it since she has really taken an interest in watching the dogs lately.

Daddy showing Mya her first zoo animal.


This is what Mya was looking at, an Andean bear.


Mommy and Mya in front of the beautiful tulips.




You could tell Mya was looking at each animal as we showed her and talked to her. She wasn't wiggling around or looking away...she was taking it all in.


Hanging out with Daddy


Little Diva sporting her new shades. She never even tried to take them off.


This is Mya looking at a running stream. She was fascinated by the streams and waterfalls in the zoo.


Mya did really well for her first visit. We stayed for about an hour and then she was getting tired. We had so much fun together! We plan to go back soon when my family comes to visit. Can't wait!!

Mya's First Easter

Mya had a wonderful first Easter! I was told to post lots-and-lots of pictures!

Mommy and Daddy's little Easter Bunny =:)




Apparently, Mya is magic! In the following picture, you will see that the egg is floating...not sure how that happened...all we can say is that she is MAGIC!












Mya's sweet little sandals didn't last for all of the pictures.


The Easter Bunny brought Mya lots of goodies! She got some books (including on of Mommy's childhood favorites: Pat the Bunny), a Cardinals Pujols shirt (cutest thing ever!), a stuffed puppy wearing bunny ears, and a chocolate bunny (you have to get a chocolate bunny in your basket...of course, Mya won't be eating the bunny but I'm sure she would love to share it with Mommy).
