It's Been Such a Long Time

December and January were such busy months! We had a great trip back to NY to spend Christmas and New Year's with everyone. Mia is doing really great. She has been battling colds and fevers this winter, but her immune system seems to be doing what it's supposed to.

She's now over 19 lbs as we approach her one year birthday! Here's some pics from as far back as November, but mostly from our Christmas trip to NY and some from the New Year back in Newton.

We got the chance to visit my Aunt Helen and cousins Elaine and Maureen.

Ready for the cold!


We did an impromptu baptism for Mia when we were in New York. Francesca's brother Gerard was the godfather and sisters Mary and Elizabeth the co-godmothers.





She makes me laugh.


Mary Kate was in town!

Mia's chair! She loved to swat the little red dog. We started feeding Mia solid foods. So far she's had butternut squash, strawberries, applesauce, string beans, and avacodo. She loved sitting in this chair and eating.
