The past two weeks have been a blast! Mia is learning something new every day it seems. Here are her latest accomplishments:
1. Cruising all over the place! She takes quick little side steps and can hold onto all kinds of objects for balance- walls, pocketbooks, tables, her toys, cabinets, etc. She rarely falls over now unless she's tired, and can occupy herself for 30-40 minutes happily. Which makes ME happy, because I can then make dinner or do a little cleaning.
2. She has a tooth! Finally, a couple weeks ago her first tooth popped up. Since then, that same tooth has been embedded in my shoulder a few times. That lil sucker is sharp!
3. She waves goodbye and hello. Its sort of an arm flap, really,
4. She claps her hands now... especially when she sees her big brother doing it.
5. She once flipped from her belly to her back in the crib, but I haven't seen it since.
6. She says Dadada appropriately- both when she sees her Daddy, and also when DeShaun gets close to her. She has learned to say "Nanana" is the past couple days... and still, no Mama. Well, occasionally she'll say Mama, but its very inconsistent.
7. She LOVES to play peekaboo- with her blanket, her clothes, and with her daddy's leg!
Also of note these past two weeks.. DeShaun turned 15! Its completely scary how old and tall and mature he is- and how much of a little boy he is at other times.
FYI- that's a blueberry cream cheese pound cake. Walter's favorite, and DeShaun just felt like having it too.
Strangely, Mia is now fitting into the 12-18 month clothes. I can't believe how big she is getting!
Conversely, I am slowly (very slowly, damn it) getting smaller. I have 12 pounds to go to my prepregnancy weight, but in actuality, its more because my body composition is very different. I have way more fat on me now and will have to do loads of cardio to get it off. I was thinking about joining an amateur salsa dancing team, so perhaps that will help.
Off to hurry through some chores while Mia sleeps!
