B&W photos taken by our friend Rossie, 2/28/03.

 

The rocking chair and some plaid.

 

Rugby girl. Note the drool glaze.

 

And now some typical shots of everyday life with Mia. At left, playing on her gymini, and at right, in a bouncy seat. We eventually had to strap her in or else she'd have launched herself with the level of kicking and bouncing she enjoys.

 

Tummy time without screaming is a recent phenomenon. Here she is in her crib, and then the view we normally see. Feet are tasty.

 

The changing table (sees a lot of use), and some superfly naked time.

 

Cindy has Mia in the Baby Bjorn, ready for a walk. Ridiculously puffy outfit sported by all the kids with street cred.

 

At the Matthei Botanical Gardens in the Desert Southwest Room. It is sub-freezing outside, but nice in there.

 

The first solid food eating session, 4/27/03. Went surprisingly well.

 

 

Visiting LA, April '03

Some time with Smitty, and naked time on her bed.

 

On the beach in La Jolla with mom and Uncle Chris (note that Chris is remarkeably calm and not freaking out around the baby).

 

Ming on the back patio.

 

Holly conducts Mia's first swim lesson, and Smitty admires the overalls.
