Dear Family & Friends,
Once again, this past month has flown by. I can't believe Thanksgiving has already come and gone! I'm so thankful for all of my family and friends. Thank you for your love!!
I'm learning so many new things. I love to feed myself bite size pieces of banana, avocado, bread, and Cheerios. Cheerios are my new favorite food. Mommy brings them with us wherever we go, just in case I get hungry. Mommy has let me feed myself with a spoon just a few times, but it gets quite messy. I think she'll let me do it much more in the near future. When I feed myself Mommy gets to eat her lunch, too!
I love climbing over anything and everything. I'm easily pulling myself up onto my knees, and working very hard to pull myself up to stand. I pulled myself up to stand in my crib this week, so Mommy and Daddy have to lower my mattress so don't jump out! I'm still crawling on my belly, and I've gotten quite fast! Sometimes I get up on my knees, but I haven't moved anywhere yet. I think I will try that very soon! I've even just started waving, which I love doing.
I've gotten bigger over the past month. I had my 9 month appointment this week, and the doctor says I'm a very happy and healthy baby. I now weigh a whopping 16 lbs, 7 ounces and am 27 3/4 inches long. My weight is still pretty small(10%) and my length is average(55%).
This month I'm looking forward to getting our Christmas tree and taking part in all the family Christmas traditions! December also brings Daddy's basketball games. I can't wait to watch my first official Union basketball game on Monday. Go, Titans!!
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas!
Love, Mia Rae Ann
ps. Of course Mommy already has the Christmas music blasting! I think I love it as much as she does!
7 months!( It really doesn't work to put the paper in front of her anymore. :))
8 months!
9 months!( It only took me a few months to figure out that if I give Mia something to play with, she won't take the sign! I'm a slow learner! ):)
Please don't tell the feds.......Mia helped Maco vote for Obama! It was a very momentous day!( Hopefully Maco's vote will still count!:))
Apparently, she was thrilled with her decision for president!
Mia is very excited that Barak Obama will be our new president!
Bring a friend day to Kindermusik. Our friends, Tammi & Josiah, joined us for a fun class!
The first time she pulled herself up in her crib.
I captured some more photos of her pulling herself up in her crib this past weekend. She's on her knees here.
Look at me!!
Trying to pull up to stand.
Holding on for dear life!!
I did it!!( I came in the other morning and she was standing all the way up reaching over like she was ready to jump out. I think it's time to put the mattress down.)
Videos galore!(Auntie Katie-no more hounding for videos. You should have your fill now until you get home in a few weeks!! Yah!!)
This was my "bad mom" moment! I let Mia cry while I tried to get the picture! :)
Sittee's birthday dinner!
Maco's friend, Merque, from Africa is visiting and came to celebrate and spend some time with us!
JJ also stopped by to meet Mia and celebrate!
