Finally Baby Food...

We've been struggling for the past week to get Mia to eat anything other than her bottles. She's growing so quickly that they don't fill her up for long. We finally figured out that the recommendation of sticking with green vegetables before moving on to orange or yellow doesn't always work if she won't eat them! Tonight we all went out for Sushi. Surprisingly, Mia chose the sweet potatoes over salmon sashimi. She seemed to love them, and gobbled the whole tub down... Let's hope for a long night of sleep tonight with a full little belly!

Strength & Honor!

Wow, it's amazing how strong Mia has gotten in such a short time... A few weeks ago Mia could hardly sit up, and certainly couldn't stand up. This is a picture of Mia's favorite chair, compliments of Tim & Kristin. (The hand-me-down toys have been a bigger hit than anything new...) Mia spends several hours per day pulling herself up on this chair, and is now using it to climb onto the couch! She is able to crawl from room to room, and now uses her arms and legs to hang onto Mommy... Impressive to first time parents. Now if we could just perfect her bench press! Note to Andy & Jen: keep your son Magnus the hell away from our little angel...

A Tooth Brush?!

Mia is headed towards a lifetime of healthy teeth with these brushing habits! Not sure why we're brushing teeth that will fall out shortly, but that's what the doctor ordered... Plus, if Dr. Mike & Michelle Wong come back for another visit, we need to have those pearly whites all shined up!
