Mia and Lily love being sisters. Mia the big sister at 6 years old and Lily her younger sister at 1 years old have tons of fun together. Now, there is even more fun to have in the Baute household because sister Ivy has arrived. Sister Ivy is 3 weeks old and has captured everyone’s hearts!

The girls love to learn and try new things. Mia attends Ascension Catholic school while Lily attends an at home daycare. Ivy is still home with mom on maternity leave. The girls love being active and have lots of activities they enjoy.

Mia enjoys gymnastics, cheerleading, soccer, swimming, going to her grandparents lakehouse and participating in Girl Scouts. Mia is a hard worker and is now moving up to tumbling 2, a tumbling class for 6-17 year olds. She has adapted so well as a big sister and offers to change diapers and get both of her younger sisters dressed for the day. Working so hard builds an appetite and Mia enjoys any food with cheese... cheese quesadilla, cheese pizza, grilled cheese. Mia has a sweet tooth and one of her favorite times is making cookies with mom.  

Mia is a driven young lady, she already wants to be a teacher when she grows up and is always thinking about the world around her. Her parents have been working on teaching her how to save the money she gets from chores to grow her piggy bank. She knows her step dad is a financial advisor so she brought her piggy bank to him and said, "I know you make money bigger so make my piggy bank grow." Speaking of growing - Lily is growing and learning all the time.

Lily loves to get into anything she’s not supposed to, playing with blocks and dolls, and ultimately she loves bath time. Lily has a passion for dance and enjoys dancing around everywhere. Loving her big sister, Lily also finds joy in copying whatever Mia does and likes to spend her time playing outside.  Lily is a lover of all things and doesn’t know a stranger. She will say hi, hug and blow kisses to anyone and everyone.  She may even share her favorite foods, blueberries and apples with you. We’re sure Lily will be sharing with her new baby sister, Ivy, in no time.

Ivy is just getting started finding her passions in life, but currently she is loving her sisters and watching all their chaos. Some of Ivy's favorite things are being swaddled and spending time in her swing. She is such a go-with-the-flow baby so far, either she is going to be very laid back or she already knows she has no choice with being the youngest of 3 girls and has decided to enjoy the ride.

With everything the girls have going on they are always becoming interested in new activities. Mia is excited that she will be learning to golf this summer while Lily is going to learn to swim. Ivy plans on getting used to car rides while she helps mom take her sisters to all their activities.

The Baute girls and their parents love reading the Stroll WingHaven monthly magazine and learning about families in the neighborhood! The family told us that life with 3 kids (with 2 being under 2) has been quite chaotic , but they wouldn't trade it for the world! 

Congratulations on your new big sister and we can’t wait to watch you all grow into your passions!
