Catch up

I have been a delinquent poster....sorry. Mia is keeping me super busy. To catch you up....we spent Mother's day weekend at Ocean Creek (Myrtle Beach). Mia LOVED the ocean and playing in the sand. It made us really look forward to our trip this summer seeing how much fun she had. We literally spent all of her awake time at the beach.

Some people would describe Mia as timid sometimes but she continues to show us that she is mommy and daddies little dare devil. All I can say is daddy better learn to swim because Mia would have gone straight into the waves if we had let her.

Over the last couple of weeks, Mia has spent tons of time playing with her friends. Last week she showed off her new water table and showed Mr. Nick how much fun it is to splash in the water instead of just play with toys in the water...sorry Holly.

Most of my month has looked like this....

An insistent "ahhh" accompanies this gesture which translates to "mommy will you read me this book?". Mia LOVES books right now. Most kids at this age love to flip through books but Mia wants every book in the house read to her....kids books and adult books. I am hoping all of this reading will eventually lead to an explosion of new words.

Mia loves to "help" around the house these days. The other day she "helped" me dust the baseboards. Yesterday, she "helped" daddy realign her swing....yup she climbed up there herself.


For those who know Sam well, you know he has a passion for geography. Mia has recently taken to both the globe and the atlas....we all know that Sam is thrilled by this and it is only the beginning.

Today we bought a watermelon. Mia quickly learned that this interesting ball was a little heavier than other balls she has seen. She tried to poke it with her fork and that didn't work either. Eventually, she realized that rolling it along the kitchen floor was probably her best bet! We'll see what she thinks of the actual watermelon once she gets up from her nap.

Happy Memorial Day weekend everyone!
