Weight and Walking

Mia has become a little miss piggy! She loves to eat all sorts of fruits and veggies - especially when I mix them together (avocado and pears, carrots and peas, bananas, green beans). But this has not limited her breastfeeding, in fact, she seems to drink more.  Healthy, growing baby!  Although, from her weight you wouldn't be able to tell she eats so much.  I took her to the doctor today to make sure she didn't have an ear infection (which she didn't) and she weighed 14lbs 15oz.  Only a 14oz increase from her 6 month check up a month ago (and she was wearing a wet diaper) - has not yet doubled her birth weight.  No concern from this momma though...tall and skinny runs on both sides of the family.

In other news, Mia is "walking" every chance she gets.  We hold onto her hands and guide her forward and she puts one foot in front of the other. She practically runs when the kitty is in front of her.  So I do believe she may walk before she crawls. She has not yet figured out how to put her knees underneath her to get some leverage...probably because she is not on her stomach long enough to wiggle them under.  Standing and walking are a much better option in her mind.
