A Week of Firsts

Mia had a big week of "firsts" this week. On Saturday she started to sleep in her big girl crib in her room instead of in the travel crib in mom and dad's room so far this has gone very well and we are getting much more sleep because we are not checking on her every second next to us. It was her first week alone with mommy during the day. On a walk in the neighborhood, she met her first doggy. A very kind black lab gave her a sniffing in her carriage. She didn't mind at all and gave him a very curious look.

Ready to go out for a walk:



It was her first month check up with Dr. Richter. She checked out great and had gained 10 ounces in 8 days! She is now 7 pounds 8 ounces and 21.25 inches tall. On the same day as her doctors appointment, we had a our very first real bath (her umbilical cord had taken a full month to fall off). As we put her in the warm water, she looked curiously around as to say "hmmm this feels oddly familiar but I can't place it...". She happily enjoyed the water for a few minutes until she decided she wanted out. We also had our first "cooing" noise this week. She has been acting like she wants to say something for quite a while now but now she is actually able to utter some noises other than crying. Later in the week, we had our first time out alone with mommy to shop. We made it out with the minivan to Michael's and Target. She stayed asleep the entire time so I'm not sure if that counts!


Over the weekend, Mia went to her first wedding. Good friends of ours we getting married in the states before flying off to Mexico this week to get married on the beach. Mia was great. She took her bottle and then sucked on the bottle nipple for the rest of the ceremony and did not make a peep.

And top off the week, as if she hadn't had enough firsts...Mia met her first little girl. Meredith Lucy (21 months) came to meet Miss Mia. They held hands for a few seconds. It was very cute.

So reading back through this, it looks like she has alot to live up to this coming week! Be sure to check out the video link on the left because Sam has uploaded some new ones. See you next week!
