Mia now weighs 16.5 pounds and is wearing mostly 9 month clothing... I'd forgotten how quickly babies fly through the sizes in the first year of life. Hard for a momma to keep up!
New this month for Miss Mia - She is now rolling over easily from back to tummy. Whenever I lay her on her back she quickly rolls over (I think part of why she's so eager to do this is that she loves the cheers from Mommy, Emma and Hannah every time she does this - her grin is priceless). Mia is eating solid foods twice a day now. She eats a fruit or veggie at lunch time and rice cereal before bed. Her favorite foods are the veggies at this time (sweet potatoes and carrots). She is not a big fan of bananas at this point. Mia is teething, although no teeth have popped through yet. The drool is almost constant and everything she can get a hold of goes straight into her mouth. She is sitting when supported by the Bumbo, pillows, or couch. When on her stomach she can scoot herself around 90 degrees to reach her favorite toys. In addition, Mia reached one of my favorite milestones over the past month: laughing. Her little giggle is the cutest! Emma and Hannah have been making her laugh lately and it's the cutest thing to watch. I'm still trying to capture it on video for all to see.
Some of Mia's favorites are playtime with her big sisters, playing on her tummy, chewing away on teething toys, bath time and splashing Mommy, story time at the library, her Mother Goose toy, Elmo book, nursery rhymes (Pat-a-Cake, Itsy Bitsy Spider), napping in her swing, tickles on her neck and under her arms.
As you can tell we are having so much fun with our sweet baby Mia. This is such a fun age! They engage with you, talk, coo and giggle, and stay put when you set them down...for the most part. ;)
