So Much Fun

I think I can honestly say that the last week has been the most fun yet of Mia's life. She is changing ever so subtly every day but in big ways and is so curious. Now she is rolling over many times a day and doesn't mind the tummy time as much because she can roll on her back when she wants to. You can just see the satisfaction on her face when she does it and knows that she made it happen. She has been grasping toys for a couple of weeks now but now when you dangle a toy that she is interested in in front of her she literally grabs out for it. Actually it doesn't have to a be "toy" that she grabs out for....it can be hair, your nose (which is my favorite), daddy's tie, other babies feet (see picture), you name it if she sees it she'll grab it. The bouncy seat which she has despised up until this point is her new best friend. It has a cause and effect setting on it where when you grab and play with the hanging toys it makes the music and lights work. She just thinks this is FABULOUS and now sometimes tries to play with all the toys at the same time. She is rocking her exersaucer and she has two favorite pieces....this thing she can bend and put in her mouth to chew on and a thing that you can spin around and it shows different pictures. In the past, when she stands up and sees her toys on the floor and she wants to get them but only leans forward like a plank to get them...which ends with her being on her stomach. Now as of this morning, she has figured out that if she squats in the standing position that she can reach her toys on the floor and pick them up and stand back up. Small things but really cool.

We are back onto the bottle and trying to get some new formula into her slowly so stay tuned on that. She seems to be feeling better on the no diary, no soy diet which is great. She has fallen into two stable naps and a catnap so mom can finally get some stuff done around the house.

We had a really busy week this week. We went shopping with Auntie Lisa and her family. We went wedding dress shopping with Auntie Lisa (rumor has it though that Lisa was jealous that Mia got all of the attention from the sales people). :-) We had a play date with Madeline and Nick. And we went to the doctor to get checked out. This week she has gained a little weight so this is good. Next week we go to the gastro appt to make sure they don't think anything else is going on with poor Mia's tummy. Phew...that was alot of stuff. Be sure to check out the pictures and videos. Some new ones will be up by the end of the weekend.
