So much to do. So little time.

The last three months of the year are so crazy, so much to do and we haven't even gotten to Christmas yet! I don't pull the camera to take pictures that often right now our lives are full of a lot of busy-ness. I did manage a few times to remember to take pictures.

Here is my update on Mia from the last 2 months:

She is getting cuter and cuter.

She is determined with where she wants to go and what she wants to do. Sometimes we feel like our activities are fully dependent on what Mia is willing to do. But in general she lets us take her places with out too much stress.



Mia NEEDS to hold ALL the technology, ALL the time. If it is in reach or in view, she must have it. Phones, tablets, computers, remotes... she owns them all.

Mia chooses to drink her milk while sitting on her pillow watching old-school Sesame Street. She pulls all the videos out until she finds what she wants to watch. But she wont watch for long. TV really isn't her thing, she just wants the power she gets by holding the controls.
















Mia explores every inch of our house that she can reach. given her amazing tiptoe ability, she can reach a lot. This girl can stand on "pointe" already without the shoes.










She is eating all sorts of things. Her current favorite food is blueberries and bananas. Avacados are also on the list too. She loves string cheese but not if it is in the string form. She is funny, one day she can't get enough of something and the next she wants nothing to do with it. Except if you put ketchup on it.  Almost anything is acceptable with ketchup.  She has been fully weaned off the bottle for almost 2 months now. Just sippy cups for us. This doesn't mean that she wont go after other baby's bottles if she sees them.

We hang out at Grandma and Grandpa's house a lot. Mia loves it there. She learns something new each time. I think they have fun with her there too. 

Mia lolves to go to the park. We stop by when I go on our walk. Fortunately there is a park not too far from our house. The slide and the swing are her favorite. 

Mia likes to challenge herself. She doesn't want to go up the easy way... no she wants the big step.

Coloring is getting easier. She isn't putting the crayons in her mouth as much. It still happens, but she is starting to get the idea. 

Fashion is obviously a big thing for her ;) I really think the Diaper Hat will become more popular, don't you? Note the technology always present when possible.  

A really cute thing she has started doing is feeding her "babies."  My old Cabbage Patch doll from the '80's is really enjoying her drink of milk. I think she will be a great older sister one day. Also she takes her own diapers to the trash, both at home and at grandma's house. Score us!

The only downside to the last couple of months is the cold and flu season. Mia caught a cold and was down and out for a few days. What did she want to do? Sit on the couch holding the remote control or phone. She was so sad. 

With a little Tylenol for her fever she was good as new and back to her usual (although slightly whinier and grumpier) self. 

Don't worry, She is all better...  at least until the next wave comes through town.
