Mia's little friends!

Here are some pics of Mia with her friends Aria, Hannah & Lauren! No matter how young you are, you still need friends =)

Hallelujah!

All of the sudden Mia started to raise both of her arms in the air, so we say "Hallelujah" every time she does it & we raise our arms in the air too! Here is the video of the 1st couple of times we went back & forth =)

Happy 10 months!

Yesterday Mia turned 10 months! We can't believe how fast time has gone, how much Mia has grown & how fast she is developing!

Mia is a waving & pointing machine ;) She points at everything & uses pointing to "tell" us where she wants to go or what she wants to see! Mia has also started waving at strangers & objects! Very cute!

Mia started clapping over the weekend & while she was watching her 1st Olympics she would clap for the competitors! Hehehe!
She also started playing peek-a-boo with us! The first time Mia did this was with my Mom. Mia turned her head & then whipped it back around with a huge grin on her face.
she held up a blanket in front of her face & would lower it after we say "Where is the baby?" "Where did Mia go?" She grins the whole time!

Mia has been getting brave when she stands- she lets go & stands on her own for a couple of seconds...I guess she is practicing to walk! Yikes!
Oh, and today Mia said Mama a couple of times! Yay! I have been waiting forever for her to say that! =) Melts my heart!!

Mia finds her shadow & crawling.

Mia loves to look at shadows & this time she found her own shadow! Very cute! She also shows us how adorable she looks while crawling. It's so amazing to watch Mia discover things for the first time =) We love our precious Babyface! =)

Pant like a puppy & quack like a duck!

You have to listen closely in this video...Mia pants like a puppy dog & then quacks like a duck! Hehehe!
Mia loves puppy dogs & gets so excited when she sees them. When Mia sees pictures of ducks or puppies she makes their sounds, but the best is when she sees a puppy in real life...anyone have a spare puppy we could have (preferably a golden retriever)?
;)
Recently Aria (Mia's friend) petted Mia's head like she was a puppy dog-it was so adorable & Mia does make a cute puppy ;) I can see how Aria thought Mia might be her puppy because sometimes when Aria walks Mia crawls at her side!

New Smile?

Today I smiled at Mia & she smiled at me, but it was a different smile!
She made this huge open mouth grin & it was sooooo cute! I got the camera & asked her to smile again & she did several times. Is this her new smile? Hehehe ;)

Who needs toys when you have a cardboard box?

The other day Mia discovered a new & exciting toy- a cardboard box! It is in Chris' office & every time we visit him she has to play with her new discovery! If I knew how much fun she would have with boxes I would have just bought her a bunch of boxes all different sizes instead of her fun, colorful toys! ;) Normally she just climbs all over the box, but in this video she started "walking" with the box-who needs toys with wheels when she has a box!
We have lots of boxes in our garage, maybe I will build us a fort & see how much fun boxes can really be! =)-
