So much love to give!

I am enjoying spending my days and nights with this precious bundle of joy! We just can't get enough of Mia. I love it when I am feeding her and she squints her eyes and makes sniffle noises out her nose. I love it when I pick her up out of her crib in the morning or after her nap and she gives me a big smile. She makes Mike and I mushy.

Today we went to the beach and she cried when I picked her up out of the water to go home. Mike caught a fish and brought it over to her and she reached out to touch it. Everyday she continues to amaze us! Last weekend we went to a birthday party and there were a lot of kids and she did wonderful. It was time to open gifts and all the kids were helping and lots of commotion was going on, and there was Mia right there in the middle. Next week we are meeting up with a new friend from China. Her mom and I have been chatting and her daughter just turned 5 and is so beautiful. One of Mia's China sisters lives in St. Cloud and is having her first birthday party on the 23rd, I hope we can make it! We traveled all the way to China and found that there was a family in our group from Florida as well. Most of the USAA families live in California. So needless to say, we plan on seeing Valerie and her family often.

For those of you who need your Mia fix, I posted some pictures below.

Barbara,
What a beautiful baby. I learned of your blog from the USAA China 33 posts and have so enjoyed your updates and photos. They've been so fun to catch as we continue to wait for our referral (group #114).

Blessings to your happy family!
