March

March was a nice and relaxing month for us for the most part.  The weather is starting to get nicer which we love!  We've made some good progress on potty training, and Mia's growing more and more into a little girl instead of a baby. 
This was just the perfect photo op.  Mia was happy as could be on the potty so I had to snap some pictures.
 One of Mia's favorite toys is her laundry hamper.  She climbs in it and tries to hide.
 And of course blocks are still a favorite
 Lately Mia has been a double fisted drinker.  I don't think that juice and milk mix well together but she likes drinking two at a time.
 With it getting warmer we've spent more time outside.  Mia loves being outside and now the snow is all gone so we get to spend even more time outside.  She's getting pretty good at riding the neighbor's scooter.
Such a cute little girl!
 Mia loves the camera and lately has wanted to take pictures by herself.  She's not too good at it yet but she likes trying.  We might have to put the bug in Santa's ear that she needs her own camera.
 Mia's picture of Daddy.
 Since I'm always doing Mia's hair, one evening she decided that it was her turn to do mine.
 It didn't turn out so well...for me.
 With the warmer weather we've started having picnics outside again.
 And of course playing with sidewalk chalk.  I think she usually ends up wearing most of her artwork.
 She's helped Daddy mow the lawn this year.  That was lots of fun...for her.
 Mia's excited to have her "playground" back.  I don't quite know where she got the word playground from but whenever she sees a park or a school or any kind of swingset she begs to go play on the playground.
The Saturday before Easter we went to Monty's parents house for an Easter egg hunt and lunch.  Mia loved hunting for the eggs.
She needed some help with the high ones.
 She managed quite the haul.
 Playing with cousins is always lots of fun too.
 Mia's Easter basket on Easter morning.  The little book is a book for church with pictures of Jesus, a bunch of Temples, and some pictures of family. 
 Waking Mia up Easter morning.  She was less than thrilled.
 She was happier once she saw her basket.  She loves her alphabet puzzle and can recognize over half her letters with the puzzle.
 She had to put on her hat, "Elmo shoes," and sunglasses all at once.  It made for a pretty cute picture in her Easter dress.
 After church came the big surprise. We decided to wait until after church because it can be difficult to get her out the door for 9:00 church even without extra distractions.
 The Easter Bunny brought her her very own trampoline.
 Mia absolutely LOVES to jump. On the bed, on the couch, on the ground, where ever she can.  She was so excited to see her tramp and just started yelling Jump Jump!
Until next month friends!
