Just Some Random Facts

There have been so many happenings and no time to post about them. So this is sort of a catch up of random facts.  Mia is still happy as ever!  She giggles at the simplest things and her smile lights up the room. She is a great sleeper - however, some nights she refuses to go to bed. This past Sunday was a 3 1/2 hour ordeal. She just wanted to laugh and play and stand. Oh the standing!! She gets so proud of herself and just LOVES to stand all the time. She holds our hands (and searches us out for them) and walks where she wants to go. You can tell she wants to be moving around but can't quite figure out the whole crawling thing. So she rolls and wiggles until she gets where she wants to go - or get at. Today it was the cat. When Mia ended up with Sam's tail in her hand we had to cut that game short!

I started out strong making Mia's baby food - used the magic bullet and everything. Turns out, she much prefers the store bought baby food.  Tonight she ate 4oz of baby food for "dinner" (before nursing for bed). Since she eats it so much better, we are going with it. I throw in the real stuff every now and then just because I refuse to give up completely:)

Now that the weather is warm, we get out to play and enjoy the sunshine. She loves it outside! And hanging out without socks constantly on her feet makes for some new sensations for Mia. And let's face it - those feet are so stinkin cute to look at!!  With the change in season, there is a change in wardrobe as well. So instead of the 9 month+ winter clothes she was wearing, we have reverted back to 3-6 months sizes.  Her length is all in her arms and legs, and she is skinny so we had to adjust. Which is fine by me - it means I can go longer without buying new clothes!
This Saturday we went for a family walk and ended up at a local playground. Mia went in the swing for the first time:

As you can tell, she had a blast! We may be walking to this playground every weekend for a while.
