7 months with Mia!!!

Tuesday marks 7 months with our little miss Mia!  She has had several firsts over the past month. 

She celebrated her first father's day with Matt and the kids made him a "#1 dad" trophy!

She is a fish and loves swimming.  She started using water wings this week and loves them.  She swims for hours at a time.  She also experienced a trip and face plant :(  She sacrificed her baby's safety for her face when she tripped!  That is the injury under her nose...

Mia also saw her first fireworks and loved them as well.  On the 4th we shot fireworks at our house and the only thing she didn't like was the firecrackers.  The following weekend we saw professional fireworks and she loved them.  She kept saying "beautiful"!!  Speaking of her language, she is picking up English so quickly and is really smart!  She has counting to 10 down, but she is still struggling with colors.  She will be attending pre-school in the fall, so that should help her to further develop her language.

We also had our first photo shoot and we finally got her 4 year old picture done.  She's a ham!

Finally I wanted to say sorry about my last doom and gloom post.  I know this will sound strange, but I had this overwhelming sense of dread that weekend, and I assumed it was because of Mia's medical condition.  It turns out that the following monday, our dog George was diagnosed with cancer.  We just put him to sleep this past Monday.... it was really hard on the boys, especially Logan.  We miss him.

Stay tuned for more adventures of the Vogels!!
