Halloween and happenings...

Well, I got a little ambitions this year and decided I was going to make Mia's halloween costume, even though I had an adorable costume that fit her my sister gave me. I wanted her to have something that she'd like and actually want to wear, so we went with a cute lady bug and I am SO glad I did it! I love how it turned out and she just loves her 'buggy clothes'. My amazing photographer sister in law Melissa offered an exchange with me while she was here, I do her hair she takes some pictures for me, so she took a few of my cute little miss lady bug. She does an amazing job, especially considering how much Mia does not want to cooperate and refuses to smile with the camera around, she's a nut. But, there are some really cute ones. These are just a few of the ones I really love.

In other news... everything is going pretty good. I am now 18 weeks pregnant and have my ulltrasound all scheduled in 2 weeks to make sure all is going well and to finally find out what we're having, I can't wait! Sometimes I think I'm even more anxious to find out what this one is than I was to find out what Mia was, although with her I was certain from the beginning it was a girl. I am glad to report I am feeling TONS better and get a little better every day. Just starving lately and eating all I can get my hands on. I LOVE potato chips and pickles lots lately, but will eat about anything.

Mia is doing WONDERFUL! She is such a smart girl and besides her terrible 2 moments, she is so sweet. She LOVES to talk to my 'baby' and does so often. She lifts my shirt just til she can see my belly then just lays on her belly with her head close to my belly and will rub it and say 'hi baby' over and over and occasionally has to give the 'baby' a kiss. Then she'll put my shirt back and tell the baby bye and goodnight. I think she'll be a sweet big sister and I'm sure talking to my belly won't quit when the baby is here. She is getting so good at putting words together and making sentances or little phrases. She knows most the words to twinkle little star and itsy bitsy spider and sings often. Just yesterday I picked up her new dress and asked her if I could have it and she turned and looked at me and said 'put it back now'. Funny girl, but oh so smart. She never fails to impress us every day.

Beyond all that, everything is going pretty good. Jason is as busy as can be as usual with work and all the other project he has and I stay busy reorganizing every corner of our house. I'm excited for Halloween to see how Mia does this year and even more excited for Christmas, hoping I can get her in to all the fun this year. She's just more fun every day, I just love her to pieces.
