Miss Mia

I haven't been able to post about our fun weekend with our niece, Mia, because we've been having computer issues! So...2 weekends ago Melissa and Steve trusted Mike and me enough to leave their precious daughter with us. She turned 1 in January and has started to walk, so she was into everything, but tons of fun!
Mike and I have new found respect for all you parents, because taking care of a 1-year-old is not easy, and we only had one to take care of! I think the thing that made it most difficult is that she HATED her pack and play, so it was really hard to get her to sleep and stay asleep! Which meant WE didn't get much sleep either!
Funny story: I took Mia on a walk one day in her stroller...things were going well half way around the block then we walked pasted a chain link fence that had a huge dog behind it. Of course the dog started barking, she wigged out (if she hadn't been strapped in she probably would have fallen out of the stroller it scared her so bad!) and cried the rest of the way home! It was sad, but humorous!
So, thank you Parkers for trusting us with your child (I found the missing Binky by the way!) we had a blast and love Mia Grace so much!


In the dreaded pack and play!



She had a darling dress on, but she didn't want to be a model right then!


OHH! He's gonna be such a sweet daddy one day!
