Mia ate oatmeal and dried plums for breakfast.  For lunch she ate hash brown casserole, biscuit, and mandarin oranges.  Sometimes we use the table for our meals and sometimes the highchairs.  If it's a messy meal then it's highchair time.  :)  Mia does pretty well at the table except when she is pestering her neighbors.  i.e., putting food on Nora's plate or taking food off Nora's plate.  (I can hear Darcy laughing about that one!)

Mia and Cooper love each other and I tried to get a picture of his face when he saw her headed his way.  He had a huge grin; "Here comes my buddy Mia!"  But he got distracted by Riley whose hand you can see in the top left of the picture.

Mia had some serious gas this morning!  :)  I was getting her out of her highchair after breakfast and I was certain she was poopy.  She was denying it vigorously and looking at me like I was nuts when I had her climb onto the changing table.  And she was right!!  :)  That was about 9:30 and she finally pooped about 11:00.  Thank goodness!!  Relief for everyone!  :)

Mia watched the garbage men working, watched some crows eating bugs and worms in the yard, and we looked at the baby Panda bear web cam too.  Mia kept asking to look at the bears!  "Wanna see bear, wanna see bear, wanna see bear!"  :)  Ok ok!  The baby bear was totally visible this morning and we watched it for several minutes.  The girls were thrilled (Mia was panting like a puppy) and pointing and saying, "baby baby.."

I happened to mention that we were going to sing some songs as soon as I was done changing Cooper. Mia went to the spot where I always sit for singing and it was like she was being the "leader."  She started singing songs, doing lots of motions, and Nora and Riley sat where the kids always sit.  She was wanting them to participate with her.  It was sooo cute!
