So, it turns out I can't manage my blog effectively when the internet is down. ETA of working internet is unknown per Mediacom.
Mediacom is now scheduled to come on August 4th or earlier if they have any cancellations. We have a video and a ton of pictures to share.

A Day of Cuteness
Some of you may remember that Mommy made "A Day in the Life of Mina" last July. She took pictures of me all day and made it into a nice book. She decided to do that every year and picked this past Friday to be the "special" day. She chose 24 pictures to share out of the 100+ pictures taken. Enjoy!
Good morning!
Ah, a fresh diaper and a good book.
Do you think I'm getting chubby?
I helped Mommy do some laundry.
Baby doll was hungry.
I was hungry too, so I had breakfast. All done!
Pure silliness.
I love to look at pictures of my grandparents. Mommy took a picture of me kissing Papa, but the picture came out really blurry.
I spend a lot of the morning snuggling Mommy and Bubba.
Kisses!
We read lots of books. This is my favorite page because Mommy howls and I howl with her.
I like to listen to heartbeats.
Maybe I'll become a vet.
Our morning went really fast. Mommy put me in my sleep sack for my nap. The reason they still put me in sacks is because it keeps me from climbing. They make them toddler sized so don't worry about me being cramped.
One last smooch?!
After my nap, it was time to go to the hospital for my check-up. I helped by putting on my shoes (sort of).
There were lots of fun toys in the waiting room and fish to look at too.
I screamed and cried during much of my appointment so we'll spare you the few pictures from that. I'm growing nicely and there were no health concerns. I got to visit Daddy after my appointment. We ate at the cafeteria and then explored the hospital for a bit.
Mommy wanted a decent picture of us together for the day and this is what she got. Hahaha!
Bath time!
I love to tickle myself while I read my tickling book.
I took a ride on Norman.
I brushed my teeth and said bye-bye to my toothbrush.
Night, night!

I hope you enjoyed my day.
I had a really fun week this past week. I saw Matt a couple of times. Look for an "Ode to Matt" post in the near future that will include some pictures. We bummed around at home a lot and also went to parks. I love slides right now. Grandma is coming over this afternoon and staying for a couple of days. Yay!

Long Overdue Post
I got back from visiting family a couple of days ago, but the world has been conspiring against Mommy so this is the long overdue post. We arrived on Monday and I went over to Nana and Papa's for supper. We had really delicious food and I ate EVERYTHING! Nana even made a vegetarian main dish for me since I don't like meat. After dinner, she blew lots of bubbles for me in the backyard.
I played some beautiful music on the piano too.
On Tuesday, we went swimming with friends Jessica and Ellie at Expo. I loved splashing around in the toddler pool. There was this really buff, tan guy that I kept calling Daddy. I also called the little boys in the pool Matt, but they weren't as cute as the real deal. Mommy didn't take any pictures on Tuesday. Shame on her!

We went to visit Great Grandma W. on Wednesday morning. I played with her jewelry and her walker and ate some ice cream at the coffee shop. I especially loved riding on the elevator! I don't take after my Great Aunt Shirley.
Here's Great Grandma! I gave her a kiss before we left, but pulled away when Mommy pulled out the camera so Mommy isn't sharing the picture of us together.
Leif came over after lunch that day and he brought my other cousins. I screamed in happiness while we played. They chased me and I chased them back. I pretty much had this face going during their whole visit.
Milo caught me!
Sometimes the paparazzi gets to be a little much.
Wednesday night, I got to see my other cousins at a softball game. I sat still for about 2 minutes, and then led them on a merry chase the rest of the night. Macy and Hailey were in charge so Mommy got to relax. 
We had a huge dance party on Thursday morning before we left for home. I learned some awesome new moves. Grandpa is a little concerned that I might become an exotic dancer.

It was a fantastic trip, Mommy seemed to be more herself, I got to see a bunch of family, and I got to have special morning time with Grandpa every day. I woke up over an hour early each day just so I could hang out with him. I haven't gotten up before 7:30 since we got back home. I'm so considerate!
.
I was really glad to get back home to my booster chair. It's my favorite thing to climb (besides my changing table, but that gets me into big trouble). 
What a face, huh?
Matt came over on Friday morning so we could renew our friendship. I had a lot to tell him and he's a very good listener.
It started to pour down rain after my nap and Mommy had left the windows open. I attempted to lick the screen door dry. Yum!
Mommy also read that I'm old enough to try shell fish so she gave me a couple of popcorn shrimp to try. I loved them! She was surprised. I like all things breaded so it makes sense. My parents are really glad I don't seem to have any food allergies so far. I've had peanut butter, berries, dairy, eggs, and now shellfish with no issues.
We went to Old MacDonald's Farm at Bever Park on Saturday morning. It was a beautiful day for it. Daddy and Mommy got slightly lost on the way there so I took a cat nap in my car seat.
Old MacDonald had a chicken. E-I-E-I-O
He had all sorts of interesting animals!
I saw a donkey, goats, roosters, cows, pigs, and bunnies to name a few animals.
There were also tons of ducks. I heard a quack quack here!
After we were done visiting all of the animals, we went to the park and played on the jungle gym. I wish I would have had my swim suit so I could have splashed in the water!

I have another fun activity to go to today. We're going swimming at the golf course pool and we're going to have a nice meal afterwards. My sources tell me that Matt is going to be there so I'm super excited about that!
Issues
Mommy is having issues getting this blog updated so try to be patient. The internet wasn't working on Friday and now she can't get pictures to load. Here's what you have to look forward to (eventually): our trip to visit family, miscellaneous silly pictures at home, and a trip to Old McDonald's Farm. She'll try again this afternoon, but we have a pool party at 4pm so she might not get to it. Mommy is one tired lady!

Independence Day and Mini
We've had a great weekend. Yesterday we went to a pancake breakfast with the Wise/Miller/Sparks crew and I got to wander all around a fire station. They have some cool "beep beeps"! My parents kept me up past my nap time and Daddy had to keep me awake in the car. I ended up taking a nap from 1-5:30 and woke up in a fantastic mood as you can see here.
Cheese!
Since I was so well-rested and happy, they decided to take me to the fireworks celebration. I had my bath at my normal time, but then they brought me down to the basement and we watched Horton Hears a Who until it was time to go. We're lucky enough to live within walking distance of great viewing areas so they bundled me up and away we went.
I was completely fascinated by the fireworks and didn't mind the noise at all. It was awesome! It was done at about 10:30 and I started to fall asleep during the finale because I was so tired, but it was well worth it. I woke up at my normal time today in fine spirits. The 4th of July only comes once a year!
There was also a party on Friday with all the people Daddy works with. Mommy looks like she's getting a little chubby, don't you think?
I got in on some games.
There was a really cute dog there too!
As you may have noticed, Mommy announced that I'm going to be a big sister. I don't really understand what's going on, but I'll give you a bit of the story. You'll have to check out the other blog for updates.
One morning during Daddy's vacation in May, Mommy came into my room holding a stick and was all excited. Mommy and Daddy did a lot of giggling. Every day after that, Mommy kept making pretty sticks.
She kept making pretty sticks until she got one that was beautiful! After that, she stopped peeing on things in the potty so much. I was starting to think that was normal.
On the morning of June 5th, Mommy started spending lots of time in the bathroom for a different reason. She was SICK!! The first time she got sick was after she drank a red pop and ate some Cheerios. After a few days, she called the doctor because I was up to shenanigans while she was in the bathroom and she was scared about what might happen to me if she couldn't supervise me. Plus, she was sick of me slamming her head with the toilet lid and trying to tug the bucket out of her hands. She tried a couple of different medicines before she found something that made her act pretty normal. Thank goodness! I missed her.
Mommy is also getting rounder and more snuggly. Here's pretty much how she started out.
Here's how she looked yesterday! I love kissing her belly.
