Mia ate two servings of oatmeal and ate dried plums for breakfast.  For lunch she ate hash brown casserole, biscuit, and mandarin oranges.  At breakfast I encouraged Riley to just give the plums a 'kiss' bye. ( It's amazing how many times we've seen kids actually start eating something after it's touched their lips and they taste it.)  Anyhow, I looked at Mia and she's kissing all of her food.  :)


Riley and Mia had stuffed animals and were playing in the block shelf.  They did so well all morning with only a couple times of conflict.  Great job girls!  When something would happen I'd ask them, what's wrong?  They'd give identical answers; point at the other one and say, "That!"  :)

They did lots of free play, we read books, crawled in the tunnel, played with the etch-a-sketch, and played with this magnetic button game.  I thought it'd be easier to show it in a picture rather than explain it.  There is glass (plastic) between the handle Mia is using and the buttons she is moving around.  She's obviously working hard at moving the buttons; look at that concentration!

Mia was looking for her "baby" (she'd put her doll in the big box) and Riley was helping her look for it. Riley was calling it like a puppy; "Here baby, here baby.."  :)

Two different times Mia found Cooper's binky on the floor and she'd pick it up and stick it back in his mouth.  Then about 8:30 she was done with her binky.  She says, "Oh oh!!" and puts in on the changing table!  :)  And she's done with it for the day except at nap time.  The whole "Oh oh!" thing cracked me up.  It was like; "Geez, I almost forgot!"
