Happy 11 months!











I can't believe that Mia is 11 months old! It doesn't seem so long ago that she was a newborn & her best trick was staying awake for more than 2 hours! =)-

Mia can now make a monkey sound, puppy sound & duck sound & just yesterday she made a cow sound! She loves animals (especially puppy dogs!) Yay! ;)


Mia give hugs & kisses now too & makes a little kissing noise when she gives smooches! Cute! Mia loves to kiss & hug her stuffed animals & sometimes us! Hehehe Mia does like for her friend Aria to kiss her & sometimes she returns the kiss!


Mia added "drink" to her signing vocabulary! yay! And she is starting to mimic us-that is adorable!

I noticed she was making a wide open mouth grin & I couldn't figure out why she was making that face until I saw a picture of me making that face to her!




Our cutie loves to clap & loves to be clapped for! Her clap is silent-too funny!
She also dances with one finger in the air & waves it around a bit. Chris & I taught her do dance that way-it's our family dance ;)

Mia likes to pull at her diaper tabs, but I have been able to distract her from undoing her entire diaper until yesterday! She was relaxing in her crib (that lasted about 2 minutes) in just a diaper & I heard rustling so I walked over to her & she was just laying there naked holding her diaper in the air! It was soooo funny! I started laughing & she just looked at me & continued waving her diaper in the air proudly. I think she was hoping I wouldn't notice & she could stay naked for a bit! ;)


Mia has mastered the art of crawling & gets around fast & easily, but she is not walking by herself yet, but she does love to "run" while we hold her hands & she also walks while holding onto things. I wonder if she will be walking by her 1st birthday. (Which is only ONE month away! We just can't believe it!)

ABCs

While I sing the ABCs to Mia I show her the sign for each letter. The other day she was playing with a toy that sings the ABCs & when the song came on she started moving her fingers as if she was signing too! It was so cute & amazing to see her do it on her own & recognize the song. In the video Mia only "signed" a tiny bit (watch her hand that is in the air). Sometimes she gets camera shy & will stop doing whatever I'm trying to record-silly baby!

Mia the Monkey =)

A couple days ago Mia started making the "monkey" sound! We got it on video last night, sorry the video looks so dark it really wasn't that dark! Mia was looking at a picture of a monkey in a book (which is in the basket she is holding on to). Don't worry the basket doesn't tip over on her, but it did surprise her! Maybe Mia should be a monkey for Halloween-hehehe.
