We have officially started the countdown to the big first birthday now that Mia is 11 months old. She is 21 pounds, and is growing longer and leaner by the day with all the crawling she is doing. Mia has six teeth and is working on getting more in. In the sleep department, we are all happy to say little Miss Mia continues to do amazingly well! She sleeps all night, every night and takes two good naps every day.
Now that she's such a big girl, Mia eats all of the foods we do and is loving the variety. Mac and cheese and peas is her favorite meal. She loves to snack on pouches, graham crackers, goldfish and teething biscuits.
Some of Mia's favorites are Itsy Bitsy Spider, Gymboree and library classes, cruising in her walker on the patio with Emma and Hannah, swinging at the park, making her scrunch face and being silly, playing anything and everything her big sisters do, and looking at pictures of family around the house and asking "dat?"Over the past month, Mia's big accomplishments have been pulling herself up and standing wherever possible, cruising along furniture, standing by herself (5 seconds is her record!), giving high fives, clapping, waving and saying "bye-bye," and holding her own bottle consistently.
This month will be an exciting one...Mia's first spring training baseball game and first Easter! It's crazy to think that next time I update this blog we will have a one-year-old on our hands. We are just so blessed.
