Army Crawl

Mia is almost six months old and she is still such a happy baby. She loves to roll all over the place and has figured out how to turn in circles. Today she officially learned how to do the "army crawl". Although she has put her own unique spin on it.

Our Girls

We have posted before that Mia is sitting up on her own. Here is a new picture of her sitting. She was so proud of herself. Look at that smile!!
In preschool I've been trying to teach the kids to write their own name. The other day Claire wrote her own name all by herself. I had to show it off because I think she did a great job!
As most of you know, Bryan loves video games, I think Claire has followed in her dad's footsteps. Here she is on Valentine's Day driving a speed boat. She loved it!
Claire loves being a princess. Here she is all fancied up and posing for her loyal subjects!
Mia is a princess in training.
For the past couple of weeks Claire has asked to feed Mia. We decided it wouldn't be a problem to teach her how. So yesterday we did. She loved feeding Mia (she needed some extra help with knowing how much to give Mia) and I think Mia thought it was fun too.
This is one of my favorite pictures we've taken lately. Grandma Lois bought Mia these mesh feeders for Christmas. We have put in an apple, an orange and a strawberry. This picture was taken after she had first tried the strawberry. Do you think she liked it?

Curls?

As many of you know my hair doesn't do much but go straight...even if I take a lot of time to curl it. Claire's hair is the same way and of course Bryan's hair sticks up! One day after giving Mia a bath we noticed her hair curls when it is wet. Now there is a chance she could have curly hair... Grandma Lois and Aunt Janelle have natural curl to their hair; also some of the cousins have curly hair too. The following are some pictures of her hair shortly after a bath.
So the question is....Is Mia going to have straight hair or curly hair?

Fun Times

We had the opportunity to take Claire and her friend Teancum to the children's museum. As you can see from this picture, the two of them had a blast!!
Here is our little princess being a princess.
This is what Mia did the entire time we were at the museum. She loved every minute of it.
Mia has also started to love moving around in the Johnny Jump Up. She loves having it in Claire's door so she can watch Claire play.
Here is Claire doing what she loves to do. She loves being with her little sister and Claire is so great to Mia.
The last of our big news is....Mia is starting to sit on her own. She doesn't sit for very long, but she is starting to do it!!!
