2 years ago....

.....at 4:52 pm Mia was born. She was 7lb. 2.8 ozs. and 20 inches long. I can't believe it has already been 2 whole years, but on the other hand it seems like she has ALWAYS been with us. It's hard to remember our family without her. Mia has always been a very busy kid. As a photographer I have learned that taking pictures during the first two weeks of life is best because the newborn will still curl up and snuggle. Not Mia! We tried to take her pictures at exactly 1 week and she wiggled so much we only got 1 good one! She was already pushing with her feet trying to move forward. She started crawling at 4 1/2 months and pulling up at 7months. Mia took her first steps at 9 1/2 months and she hasn't stopped moving since. I tried VERY hard to get a picture of her this morning and she was NOT happy about it at all. I got one decent one but might try again later. She runs from me everytime she sees the camera now. Maybe I'll get a great birthday pic next year!

Here she is on her birthday less than an hour old.


Mia on her 1st birthday........Queen for a day.


This morning........The big TWO!


We are off tomorrow to visit my parents. Have a Great NEW YEAR.
