Oooooaaaaaaargh! :: Thursday Aug 21, 2008 :: Comments [3]

Lately, Mia likes to do these long moans. It's really funny, and we have taken to call her 'Miazilla.' Though we are not quite sure why she makes these sounds, she definitely does not seem uncomfortable in any way. She is probably just playing with her voice.

fishy fish :: Monday Aug 18, 2008 :: Comments [2]

Happy Birthday, my love - you're 5 months old today! Brooklyn, NY.
