I know I've already included this picture in a previous post, but I just thought it was even cuter in black and white!
We took a quick trip up to Tacoma for a visit!
While we were there, Betsy took a few pictures of Mia! This picture is my favorite!
Should we be worried?? Mia's already holding hands with a boy at 11 months!!
What a day in history!! Mia watched the entire inauguration and loved every minute of it!(Unfortunately, I didn't get the best picture.)
Mia has just started walking with the push toy! She really likes it, but she was a little fussy when I tried to get this video because she was hungry. You know how I am, I have to get the shot!(Do
This is one of Mia's favorite pastimes now. She is constantly pulling herself up on the coffee table. She loves to "cruise" around it, especially if she's trying to get to the rocks or the candy dish. We'll see how long they both last on our coffee table. We think it's important to teach Mia that some things are off limits, but it's a little tiresome, and not to mention a choking hazard! And don't worry I'm not going to be a push over and laughing when I'm disciplining, like in the video.
So, about 3 months ago, I had this great idea(thanks to some Baby Boot Camp friends!) that I'd start training to run a half marathon. Well, I trained, and I ran in the Vancouver Lake Half Marathon this past Sunday. Yep, on my birthday and in the snow! As I was standing there, waiting to begin the run and feeling as nervous as could be, I was thinking that this sounded like a much better idea 3 months ago!! Why I decided to run my first(and last!) half marathon in the dead of winter, I'm not so sure! Who's idea was this???(Haley!!!) Well, needless to say, I finished! It was a great accomplishment, but probably the most grueling physical thing I've ever done!(And, yes, childbirth was a piece of cake to this!) My only goal was to run the entire thing, and it took every ounce of my being to do so! And the "after race" was pretty bad, too! I was out of commission for about 3 hours after the race, basically in the fetal position!(Fun birthday!!) As of now, I don't think I'll run a half marathon again! You never know, but it's not looking promising!! And to all of you that I was pressuring to train for one with me, don't worry, I'll stop! (Someone please remind me of this post when I think I want to do one again!)
Ps. I actually think it might have been a little better if there wasn't snow and slush on the ground and my shoes weren't swimming pools for the entire 13.1 miles.(You'd better believe I'm not leaving that .1 mile out of the total!)
Haley, Jill, Socorro,(Baby Boot Camp Moms) and Socorro's husband Corey. Hmmm.......maybe I can get Maco out running with me. Actually, I do remember he said that he'd never run 13 miles in his life..........unless someone was chasing him!! :) 
Maco, Mia, and Kelly all came to cheer me on at the finish line! You guys rock!!
I was pretty much leaning on Mia so I wouldn't fall over. I thought I was going to pass out and my hands were so numb I couldn't even hold her! :)
Our little champion!

Shayna, congrats on the 13.1 miles! Wow! Also, LOVE Mia's "scary" sound in the video-too cute!
good job shayna. i had no idea you were training for that. you could do a triathlon no problem if you did that. way to go...and in the winter too. you rock.
i absolutely loved your favorite pic of mia too. she is growing up. she looks so much older than even your last post.
Wow, Shayna, Mia just keeps getting cuter! I agree with you on teaching them limits... we haven't completely "baby proofed" because I think it's important for them to understand some things are off limits. Did you do something new with your hair? I love it. Watch out, Mia is 1 year soon!!!
I'm so impressed Shayna! 13.1 miles! That's amazing! Happy 11 months to Mia too! We hope to see you soon!
Oh my! Shayna this story is amazing, this blog had me in tears! I didn't know that you were blessed with a little girl after all you went through. What an AMAZING woman you are! Your family is beautiful! I would love to be in touch with you and hear more of your story! What a miracle and blessing!!! She is gorgeous! Much blessings, Sybil :)
