Quick update

Hey Everyone,

Just a quick note. Mia is really getting bigger. She gets up on her hands and knees now and rocks. She still hasn't started crawling just yet, but I know it is not far off in our future. Mia is almost 8 months old now. This coming Friday she will be 8 months. It is hard to believe. She is such a big girl. She wants EVERYTHING. Whatever she sees, she reaches hard and long for. She is intrigued by remotes and phones, just like everyone told us. My mother bought her a play cell phone and play remote. She loves 'em.

She imitates me now. She squeals and I squeal and then she squeals and so on. She knows now to imitate and follow. She does it better and it's very cute.

We went to the Mets game last night. We were going to take Mia, but when we realised it was a night game, it would be too hard for her. If it were a day game, we would have definitely taken her. I am hoping her first game will be a Mets game instead of Yankees. I want her first impression of a good team to be the Mets! ha ha. So, doesn't look like her first MLB game will be this season. We'll see if we take her next year. By then she'll be walking and I do not think we'll enjoy the game as much! ha ha She stayed at my mother in laws last night. She stayed with my mother the night before. She has been a gypsy. I miss her. Going to pick her up shortly. We are going to the city today down to the village to visit my friend and go to the jazz festival there. It will be Mia's second time in the city. I am looking forward to it. I think Mia will be mesmerized by all the sounds and people. The last time we took her was in April. She was still pretty itty bitty. We'll see how we do. I'll let you all know how it goes.

I guess that's all for now. I'll be in touch very soon with my 8 month pics (mia and her monthly sign that she now likes to try and eat and crumple up) and hopefully some pics of her trip to NYC today. I want to bring her to the city as much as possible. I want her to know what amazing cultures, arts, and opportunities there are for her right next door.

Also, last Saturday my brother, John and Nick were at my parents and we saw them when we stopped at my parents on our way back from Wildwood. I didn't realize that John had not seen Mia since her birth. It just told me how fast time flies. I as happy he had a chance to see her again. It was a nice day. I have some pics posted here from this day as well.

Here are some pics from the past week. Hope you all enjoy them.

Lots of Love and Kisses from our Mia.
