Mia learned some new tircks

Mia now can clap on command (sometimes) She yells and claps and gets really proud of herself. She also has waved a couple of times.

These pictures make me laugh cause she did this on her own! Please don't mind the bib she was eating a teething biscuit and got it everywhere I promise I will not send her out in public with one on!!!!!

MErry 1st Christmas!!!!!

Mia had a great first christmas! We loved every minute and are very sad that it is over. But can't for next year.

Hildebrand Family update....

I have been a very bad blogger these days I will blame it on enjoying the holiday season with Family and friends. We are so blessed and Mia just seems to eat up all the attention from everyone. Little HAM!

Mia and Tay Tay just love baby Bradyn! Maybe even a little too much :)

We took Mia to snowflake lane in bellevue and she loved all the lights and music

This is what feeding her has come to because she has decided its a good idea to eat in the middle of the night instead of during the day.

Mia's first sink tub time

She has learned to take ornaments off the tree......

She loved watching Auntie Tamarra's basketball game (YEAH!!!!!)

She was really awesome at helping Makenna and Alexa make thier
Gingerbread house.

Mia's first ear infection :(

It's official! Mia has her first ear infection. She was true to form at the Doctors office with her enormous smile UNTIL.... the stupid Dr. with a bow tie jammed the ear thing into her ear drum. She was yelling really loud, directly at the Doctor. But after some sauce she was back to smiling at everyone in the pharmacy. She is doing great now and even went to her first basketball game last night and loved it I will post pics later :)

To the right is the "stupid ear thing"

We just let her give herself her medicine.....parents of the year!!!!

A baby is born.........

Normally I blog about Mia but today I will blog about Mia's friend Kobe Jaxen Reese! He was born yesterday December 8th 2:38. He weighed 8lbs 5oz and was 21 3/4 inches long. So, my dear friend Emy texted me and said that she was 9cm and the baby would be born with in the hour. I didn't know whether I was going to be able to make the birth cause I had to pick up the girls I nanny for at 3:40. I thought I would head up to evergreen peep my head in her room, tell her I love her and then just come see the baby after work. But there was a bigger plan in store for me! Leland asked me if I would be game for holding Emy's leg and I said "Of course I would love to." I have to admit I was a little nervous that I would have to leave before the baby was born but because Emy is a nanny herself she understood that I could not leave my girls waiting outside of school to get frostbite :) I told her this baby needs to hurry and get here. And that baby Kobe is a great listener. I was even early to pick up Alexa and Makenna! Emy was so strong and I am so proud of her. It is the most AMAZING thing to see a baby be born, a true miracle. I cried the entire way from the hospital to the girls school. Yesterday was one of those GREAT DAYS!!!!!!! The Reese family is loving life, feeling blessed and Rylee is a wonderful big sister and loves that baby so much. He is a lucky boy!

The Christmas Season has arrived!

My favorite time of the year has just become incredible. Mia just is loving the Christmas season! Tree hunting in the rain was a blast for her. She was kicking her legs the entire time!

Can you see waldo in the background????

Here is my Mom Ryan Marisa Chris Mia Me Melissa (Marisa's friend) and my Dad! A family affair to see Mia get her first tree.

OK this was just the best! We took Mia to see Santa and she just loved him! I think she was trying to brown-nose him just so he would bring her more toys! And that must be why she wanted to dress up as an elf :)

THANKSGIVING

To say that we are blessed this year is an understatement! We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family. We even dressed Mia up as a little turkey :)

My Aunt Ellen and cousins Kendra and Carly

Then on Sunday we had Thanksgiving at Ryan's Moms house. Now that Ryan and I have had 3 thanksgiving meals-we are going to be headed to the gym....... :)
