Is she old enough for a license?

Aussie love

As a South African, Leigh was born and raised to dislike Australia. This is what happens when you're from a family of rugby fans. But our good friend Ursula is trying to change that. She's an Aussie who Leigh met through LOYAL. For Christmas, she gave Mia the most hilarious pair of pajamas, specially modified. The back reads AUSSIES ARE MY FRIENDZ. Hopefully Leigh will come around.

The face of shock

I obviously disgust Mia so much that she doesn't know what to say.

Who the heck ate all the ice cream? Guilty!

Mia's new books

My mom got us a Kindle Fire for Christmas, and we've been using it like crazy. It's one of those things we wouldn't have ever bought for ourselves but now we can't imagine living without. What's been a surprise, though, is how we can use it with Mia. There are lots of free children's books she can scroll through and a ton of really neat apps. The one she's playing with here is a piano.

It's great to keep in my purse and get out in a flash without having to carry a million books around. She can play games, draw pictures and read. It's pretty fantastic. And it makes her look uber hip.

Practing the alphabet

Yes, we are practicing the alphabet while potty training.

Hug time

Mia and I cuddled up on the couch (with Dora the Explorer) to watch the Thunder dominate. She's already practicing, "Thunder up!"

The wardrobe

Because our house was built in 1949 and is the size of a mailbox, there is absolutely no storage for clothing. We've been looking for something to substitute as a closet for Mia. We dropped by a resale shop down the block from our house and - BAM! We found this adorable wardrobe from the 1950s. We took the draws out when we moved it into the house from the car, and before we could even put the drawers in, Mia was entertaining herself.

Go Hogs!

We watched the Hogs beat up on Kansas State with our favorite Razorback friends - John and Alison Estus! Mia had the chance to wear her cheerleader outfit for one last time this season, so we had to get a photo of a past pom girl with a future one!

The wind and the swing

Come on, Oklahoma.
