Merry Christmas

We are spending this holiday season in Maryland with the Berthiaumes. The drive took us two days, but we stopped at a battleship, Aunt Della's (one of Sam's mom's best friends), and saw friends from the Academy. On the way back to Mississippi, the plan is to drive through the Appalachia mountains and stop in Pigeon Forge, TN for New Years.

We hope everyone had a great Christmas. Mia loved opening gifts. As long as we took the paper away from her as soon as she ripped it she would keep taking more off rather than eat the paper. Gift bags were the easiest for her, she would pull out the paper until she found the gift. It was so sweet to watch her eyes light up. 

The most exciting thing to come from Christmas is the announcement of baby #2! That's right, Sam is pregnant and due in July. We'll be sure to continue to keep everyone updated.

We love you all and hope you have a great rest of your holidays and an amazing start to the New Year?

9 months and some change

Today was Mia's 9mo checkup. 9mo means there was no shots!

She weighs 19.4lbs and is 26in long. This puts her in the 50th percentile for weight and 10th for height; she's short like her momma.

The doctor was impressed with her language skills and thought it funny she would say Dada when prompted to say Mama. He was surprised that as agile as she is she isn't walking yet, but said it's a good thing.

We're currently on our way to a Boy Scout Christmas dinner so I'll post pictures once I'm back home with my iPad.

We hope you all have had a great week and will have an awesome Friday.

Happy Belated Thanksgiving

I apologize for this being late. Every time I thought about it over the weekend something would come up. We enjoyed the day spending time with friends from the ward and Mia loved turkey.

Zed went Black Friday shopping and then clay pigeon shooting while Mia and I enjoyed some time together sleeping in.

I know that a 9 month post hasn't been done of Mia yet. She has her check up on Thursday so I'll post everything on that day.

Be sure to stay tuned in the coming weeks. Zed finds out what's next in 8 days, Santa is coming, and Mia will be living grandparents for 3wks.

Halloween 2013

Mia was a Detroit Lions cheerleader and Zed was an AF cheerleader.

Zed is about a month away from finding out what he tracks (helos, fighters or heavies). Once we know what he tracks I'll be sure to do a part about it.

Mia has two teeth, says Dada when with Zed, and can stand by herself for up to 15sec.

6 month check up

Well, all good news from today's appointment! Mia weighs 16lbs so in the 50th percentile for weight and is 26in long so the 50th percentile for height. She is also done with shots until she 13mo old! Wahoo! 

Mia is starting to low crawl which means she'll be all over the place before we know it. She has also learned how to pull up other pack-n-play so we will probably be lowering that shortly.

Zed passed what's called final contact yesterday so he is more than halfway done. For the next 2mo he will be doing formation and instrument flying. In instrument flying he wears a visor on his helmet so he can't use landmarks to help him navigate. He tells his instructor where to fly based on his calculations and the instructor follows Zed's lead. Once they make it to where zed thinks the destination is he is graded on how far off he is from where he should be. 

Hope everyone is doing well and has a great Labor Day weekend. We will be going to a street festival in nearby West Point.

6 months

Sorry these are a week late, enjoy!

Mia - she's low crawling and putting everything into her mouth. She currently weighs over 16lbs, she has a doctors appt next week so I'll get the exact numbers then.

Sam - working like crazy and trying to keep a clean house so Mia doesn't choke on anything

Zed - He is learning how to fly without looking outside the cockpit, how to fly when only 10ft away from another plane, and learning how to navigate in the air (not all at the same time). He finds out Oct 21st if he'll fly helos, heavies, or fighters/bombers.

Family Pictures

Enjoy!

Learning to crawl

So she hasn't quite figured it out yet, but enjoy the pictures. Sorry she's not looking in many of them.
