Mia's Birthday Weekend

I had quite the birthday weekend. I LOVE my birthday. Mommy took the Fri before my birthday off so that she and Daddy could take me to see Dinosaurs. WOW were they cool. Then on my actual birthday Mommy, Sissy, and Daddy took me to the Ft Worth Zoo. That is my favorite place in the world. After the zoo we ate dinner and had cookies (Mommy let me pick what I wanted, and I wanted cookies instead of cake). Cook, Nana, and Khyi came over later to give me presents. I LOVE PRESENTS. Whoever invented presents gets a big kiss from me. At the end of my birthday I was very tired, but wanted to be around all my new stuff. Mommy let me make a mat on the floor (on top of my new keyboard you walk on) and I watched Mickey Mouse and the choo-choo train. WHAT A GREAT TIME!!! I can't wait for more birthdays

More Dance and Art class

Poor Cook, Cousin Khyi wasn't as crazy about dance class as I was, but we are not giving up on him yet!!

Dance Class

I have been really busy lately. Mommy and Daddy signed me up for dance class with Cousin Khyi, and an art class. Here are some pictures of Dance. I take tap and ballet. I really love it. Mommy and Daddy say that if I keep taking dance, I will get to be in a recital in May (whatever that means)

Gettin ready to dance

Starting Sept 14th I will officially be a student of dance. Mommy took me to get my tap and ballet shoes. When we got home I put on a fashion show for Mommy and Daddy. I love my new shoes.

Dallas Zoo

Well..Mommy said that if I went poopoo in the potty she would take me to see real elephants. Guess what.....I DID IT!!! These pictures are of Mommy, Mikaela, and me at the zoo (Daddy was playing golf with Uncle Matt)

Road trip to and frm Crested Butte

even more Crested Butte

more Crested Butte

Crested Butte CO

We just had our very first family vacation. David, Mia, Mikaela, and myself drove to Crested Butte, CO for a week in the mountains. It was so amazing. The weather was perfect. Mikaela and Dave went white water rafting, and then she and I went horseback riding in the mountains. Mia had the best time of all playing with the rocks at the condo, climbing the mountains, feeding the chipmunks, and seeing a real bear (that was not so fun for Mommy).

Surgey Update and more

Hi Everyone,

In case I missed updating you...Mia's eye surgery went awesome!! She was in and out in 3o mins. The recovery the first 2 days was a little rough but she was trooper. We went to her post-op appt and Dr Stager wants her to wear her patch 1-2 hrs a day and continue with her current glasses for 5 more weeks. He said her eye was perfectly straightened by the surgery!!! We go back on Oct 2nd to have him look at her progress with the patch (to help strengthen the muscle in the straight position) and he is going to drastically reduce the prescription for her glasses. We are hopeful that with the help of glasses...in 5-10 years she might not need them anymore, so keep your fingers crossed. The picture is Mia 3 days post-op. She has some redness in her eyes, but that wasn't slowing her down :)

Giddie up horsie

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. We've been very busy. Here are a few updates. I had eye surgery on Friday to help my eyes from crossing. Mommy and Daddy said I did great. Friday afternoon through Sunday morning were kinda rough. The medicine the gave me to make me go to sleep upset my tummy. I couldn't keep anything down until the wee hours of Saturday morning. Then my tummy was upset all day Saturday with the other end :( FINALLY on Sunday I was all better. My eyes are a little bloodshot, but it is quickly going away. I go back to the Dr on Monday to see how I am doing. The Dr. said that he might need to change the prescription of my glasses, so I don't have to wear them again until Tuesday. The pictures and videos below are some new ones that Mommy and I wanted to share. Khyi came over a few days after my surgery and gave me lots of hugs and kisses to make me feel better
