MIra Belle at 4 months

Mira Belle is getting big. She loves to talk and sit up like a big girl. She's even started to eat cereal!

She may outgrow her tubby soon! Look out Pia.

MIra Belle's Baptism

Her new fancy electric toothbrush...

Or both?!?

Funny Little Girl

Pia is getting funnier and more dramatic by the day. She's also a human tornado!

Pia at 17 Months Old

Pia is 17 months and growing like crazy. She has finally broken the 22 pound mark. Her molars and eyeteeth have all started to come in this week! Talk about a grouchy girl. Now that she has more than her 8 front teeth, she's really taken to eating with her fork and spoon. Of course, she's oblivious to the concept of being tidy. She can wreck herself or a room in seconds!

Before Dinner...

And after!

Pia loves reading, dancing and kissing her sister. Sometimes she even calls her Mira instead of "SISTER!"

Pia is talking more than ever! She says her whole alphabet and can count to ten. There are about 7 songs that she loves to attempt to sing: Rock-a-Bye Baby, Itsy Bitsy Spider, Row Your Boat, Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star, The Goodbye Song, Ring Around the Rosie and Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes. She gets key words, but that's about it. Of course, she'll only talk for you if you can get that darn sucker out of her mouth!

Some of Mira Belle's favorite things

Mira Belle is 2 1/2 months and doing fine. She's finding her own little nitch in the family.

MB loves her swing. She laughs at herself in the mirror and then takes a nice nap.

She's doing alot better in her crib than her big sister did at her age.

Of course, her bouncy chair and papison are great places to relax and take in the scenery.

She and Pia love to hug!!

And her daily exercise is no problem for this Supergirl.

The many expressions of MB

Oh, so content in her nice, warm bath.

You look ridiculous, Pia.

She's bossing me around already.

16 months

First Snow!
We bundled Pia into her snow gear so she could play in the snow.
She and Daddy had a blast! This was Pia 1st time in the snow.

Pia is a real pip at 16 months. She has about 4 songs in her repetoire: "itsy spidy out," "tinkle star," "happy to you" and "rosie." She loves talking ("hello, snimmy, snommy, sno, okay, bye, bye!") on the nelopone (telophone). She's still only about 23 pounds but getting taller and thinner.

Tidy up!

Pia loves when Daddy vacuums.
But she loves getting fancy hairdos from the vacuum more.
