Rollin'

I was just on my mat which is on the other side of the room, now I'm deciding whether I like the door open or closed...



closed is better!!!!!! :)

Long day, daddy and Mishka are vegging on the couch

Here's looking at you kiddo.

Mommy and Mishka taking in a football game (Chilli Bowl, '06).

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!!!!!!

Love,
Mishka

Yeah Mommie!!!!!

Mishka told me that I needed to post a very important message from her to all of you...that is: "Yeah Mommie!!! I'm so proud of her doing a 5K race yesterday! She did SO great, and I got to be a part of my first race EVER! AND the money the race raise went to help alot of people in the area, thanks to my mommie and all the other people showed up and ran yesterday. It was awesome!!!"
Naturally Mishka wanted me to show some pics from yesterday, so...




Here's Mommie and Mishka chilling at the finish line (yup, she slept the whole race...and yes, that is a little bear outfit Mishka's wearing)








Daddy kinda botched the picture a little, but you can see Krista in the blue jogger with Isak, and right behind in the black jogger is Tasha with Mishka, both zooming into the finish line!

Finally an update!

Hello fellow bloggers!!!!

Well, it's been a while since I've gotten a chance to actually blog and send out pics or updates...it's about time that I do!!
Lil' Mishka is now 6 and a half months old (CAN'T believe it!), and as you can see by all her pics, she's become quite an expressive and interactive little girl! She's been rolling over now for about a month, she's figure out how to use rolling to get to a toy that she wants (or my homework which she tries to eat..."Mr. professor, yeah, I don't have my homework because my child ate it..."), and she is starting to figure out how to use her arms and legs in tandem to move.
She's been eating veggies and fruits (along with milk) for the past month and a half, she absolutely love it, especially the sweat potatoes...she also knows what the bottle and dish and spoon are used for...so when she sees them she throws a mini-fit because she wants to eat NOW!!! That's another thing...for as amazingly interactive as she is, smiles, giggle, gurgles, babbles and all, she is extremely upset when she doesn't get what she wants right away...hate to say it (basically cause I'll be vanquished to sleeping on the couch), but in that regards, she's her mother's daughter ;)
So, she's growing like crazy, learning new stuff every day, changing almost everyday, but what doesn't change is how much happiness she brings to our family, which is pretty cool ;)

That's is for now!

And more random October pics

I think I'm worried...Mishka got very interested in her own copy of "Ya Ya Sisterhood" (courtesy of Godmommy Tracey)...of course, she tried to eat the book, so I'm not too worried just yet that I'll have to listen to Ya Ya-isms all the time!



Group hug! With Sasha and Uncle Nico, Mishka wasn't quite sure what to make of it :)

Aunt Sindy making faces with Mishka (same face too, which is even funnier!)

Another family pic!!!!! :)

A few more Halloween pics...

Check it out: row-o-kiddies! How somebody got them all to sit still on the couch long enough to take a picture it truly beyond the scope of my reasoning abilities :)



In this pic, you've got from left to right: Evelyn, Mary, Lillianna, Qwin, Isak, and Marina.




Here Isak is holding Mishka, with Qwin, Lilliana, and Mary looking on!







And this is what happens when you don't feed your lil' punkin' in a timely manner ;)

Mishka's First Halloween

Hopefully someday Mishka can look back on this costume and not feel much embarrassment that her parents made her wear a pumpkin...she does make it look mighty cute tho :) Nough chatter, here are the pics...

Mishka meets Oliver!!!

"Hey, who's that!!"



Babies, babies, everywhere babies!








Mishka LOVES her Godmother Tracey :)

No, Daddy has not caved and gotten his daughter a pony...

6 months later...

Then.....

Now!!!!!!

Notice that Mommy & Daddy still look as exhausted :)

Happy 6th months old to Mishka today! She was SOOOO excited, she woke up 3 times last night and at 6:24 this morning to share with her parents how cool being 6 months old is!!!!! :p

There are actually alot of update with our lil' mouse I'm looking forward to share (and will!), but I have to go play pick the toy up off the floor-give to child-watch child throw back to floor-look to parent to take bait and pick it up. This is actually still a pretty funny game at this point...at least she's not throwing creamed corn!

(FYI-she's starting to look ALOT more like her Mommy, TG!!)

Happy Friday the 13th!

It's Friday, and Mishka says "Chill and enjoy the weekend!!!"
