Happy Halloween!!

We've got bugs in the house!
Here are some of Mia's best friends - little Lucy is the flower and Christian is the adorable bumble bee. Okay, I knew Halloween would be fun, but could these little guys be any cuter? I saw ladybug costumes for the beagles at Target and had to hold back...you're lucky that's not what you're looking at (although we know one poochie out there that I'm sure is all dressed up...Penelope!)

We dropped by Travis' work and then headed into my office to show off our little ladybug (I'm the bug catcher, if you couldn't tell). I haven't stepped foot into the office for 3 months and to top it off, I forgot my badge! There wasn't anywhere near enough time to say HI to everyone, but since I go back on Monday, it will be nice to catch up. I've really missed everyone!

Halloween at our house is always a slow night, we've had 2 doorbell rings so far (that's 1+1 and I'm sure we'll keep it to 5 or less). When Mia is ready to hit the streets we'll have to be that family that drives to a different neighborhood to drop their kids off. We hope you have a fun Halloween this year!

Owie..Ouch..Ouch

Mia had her two month appointment this past week and got her shots! "I couldn't breathe and was gasping for air. My face turned purple," exclaimed Mia. It was a sad sight to be had.

Although Mia doesn't appreciate her weight being published for all to see, she weighs a whopping 13 lbs and has incredibly kissable cheeks!

BUMBOS RULE!

One of my favorite gifts was the Bumbo and I'm so glad she can use it now! It amazes me that infants can actually sit up in this little chair. Mia is 2 months now and quite the photo taker. In this snapshot, she's showing off her lilac fleece to match the lilac bumbo. Only 3 weeks now before I go back to work - bizarre! Now is the time that I'll really enjoy being home with her since I'm over the recovery hump and she's sleeping much better. We're headed outdoors to enjoy a walk in the park with the stroller brigade! We've got to enjoy every last second of sunshine since Fall is ending fast and we'll soon be hanging out at IKEA instead of the park.

Mom Jeans

I'm a MOM!

And therefore, I now have 'mom hair'. Yup, I chopped it off and donated 10 inches to Locks of Love (http://www.locksoflove.org/) this week! I was planning on donating it eventually and after taking prenatal pills for the past 9 months, my hair was growing quite quickly. It's kinda fun having short hair. For those of you who've known me for a while, you know that there's only one other time in my entire life that I've had short hair and that was back in 1997. To commemorate motherhood, you also need to watch the YouTube video I posted that's a Saturday Night Live skit for 'Mom Jeans'. It cracks me up!! Mom hair and mom jeans...what will be next?

I LOVE MY CRIB!

Because I love my crib so much, I've slept for 6 hours straight the past two nights in a row!!

Love, Mia
