Our little fish!!

Emler Swim School

Mila started swim lessons this fall at Emler Swim School just like her big sis did. She ABSOLUTELY loves the water!!! She is a total fish like her sissy and is always happy to jump in the pool. She's totally fearless, so that's a bit scary but I guess that's the point of taking lessons. I'm hoping by the summer she will be an awesome swimmer and will know how to be safe around the water.

Cupcakes!

This morning we decided to make cupcakes for no good reason besides it was a lazy morning and it sounded good!  I had really great helpers who were more than willing to taste the goods :)

1st Grade Bobcat Welcome

The annual Bobcat Welcome is an opportunity to meet your new teacher and check out your new classroom. This year Gaby got Mrs. VanZandt and her classroom is really neat. She was very excited to be back on campus and ready for her first day of 1st grade :)

Mila's 2nd Bday Party

We had a Minnie Mouse themed birthday party for Mila this year. I got her the cutest little outfit! We had a few of our closest friends and family over to celebrate the big day. The birthday girl had a great time running around, jumping in the bounce house and eating pink cupcakes. Happy 2nd Birthday, Mila!!

Our big TWO year old!!

It's so hard to believe that our little peanut is already TWO years old! It's so cliche but where does the time go? Mila is really the coolest, funniest kid around. She is sassy, independent, and extremely intelligent. She has reached most of her milestones ahead of schedule except for one- she's not a huge fan of talking just yet. She does a very successful squeal which makes all of us jump to get her whatever the heck she wants just so that she will stop making that horrific sound ;-) She understands everything, she is just not quite ready to say it herself. Her motor skills though are pretty impressive- she never really walks, she is running (like Forrest Gump)! And she is a great jumper, has no fear on the scooter and likes to swing as high as you can push her. She will very impressively eat food ALL day long but is still a petite little thing. Right now she lives for yogurt, mash-ups and goldfish. Besides all that, though, she is a sweet and cuddly little thing and is always toting around her teddy, blanket and chupo (paci) everywhere she can. She adores her big sis and can't get enough of her daddy once he comes home from work. We are blessed to have this amazing little person in our family and look forward to what she will bring in the future. Here are some awesome pics from her 2 yr photo shoot....
