Diego and a look back...

DIEGO 3 months -------------------------------Mia 3 months

Afternoon Pool Party

Bella, Mia, & Josie enjoy some yogurt popsicles in the pool. What fun in the summer!!

Potty training...

Mia decided she did not want to be the only one potty training, so she enlisted Mr. Butterfly as her first pupil....

Some pics from our week in Cincy...

now that we are getting a bit of sleep, we are seeing many more smiles and hearing a little voice from the little dude!

arent' we lucky!

Piano 'music' maestro....

Picking cherries from Mammaw's tree.

Daddy did this one- apparently, Diego was not amused...

Happy 2nd Birthday , Mia!

Mia's cousins who are all getting so big! Morgan on the left will be ONE in a week, Carson (above) is 1 1/2! There's Diego peering intently over her shoulder wondering what the whole cake thing is all about....

Swimming...

Our three little fishies- Josie, Bella, & Mia. They all had fun, despite some cold water days- all three girls went underwater, blew bubbles, and kicked their little legs! What fun!

Slide a Mingo Pool

Mia and her friends are taking swim lessons this summer- hopefully we'll get a few pics of the 3 girlss...until then, fun on the slide- the little girl who has no fear rushes on down to SPLASH!

Big baby blues!

Such a sweet little face from our serious little man...

my, my, what big eyes you have! so cutie!

hey, Mia might finally be warming up- just a wee bit, to little dude.

so serious....

MORE SUMMER FUN!

A wedding weekend and hello blue eyes!

A spectacular view of Cincinnati- a beautiful weekend to celebrate Jessie & Wes tying the knot.
So serious...

Nothing is more comforting than a snuggle with Mammaw

Hmmm...yummy???

When left to her own devices....

Left the room to change Diego's diaper- upon return, this is what I found...Mia's only comment "ORANGE FACE!!"

hello eyeballs!!

lounging on the beautiful quilt by aunt pat

a big squishy hug from big sister mia!!

Just a few of BIG SISTER Mia

Mia loves to color with sidewalk chalk...especially coloring her pants, and mommy's arm, and her shoes.....

A new found love for watering flowers

Yee-haw! From the stories we've heard, Mia is following in Aunt Pat & Pam's footsteps...

In efforts to maximize time and efficiency, we now wash the car AND Mia at the same time...

Happy Mother's Day Mom!!

verging on the edge of alertness....

we are just in the beginning stages of seeing some eyeballs- mostly, however, its eating, eating, crying, oh yeah, then occasional sleeping. (oops, can't forget what babies do best- the filling of many, many diapers)

Priceless...

FUN fun FUN with Mammaw!

Mia's new hobby is watering EVERTHING!

Opposite day

welll, we tried to give Diego a subtle hint about how he should spend the day, maybe once he learns to read......
