Mia ate pears and three servings of waffles for breakfast.  For lunch she ate tuna and crackers, most of sweet potatoes, and ate canned cherries.  (She and Cooper ate those canned cherries first thing again; they love them.)

Thought you all might enjoy this picture of Cooper checking out Baby Layla this morning.  He did this on his own initiative; pushed blocks over to the changing table and got up where he could see her.  And he did that two or three times.  Mia joined Cooper in looking at Layla and was making sure Cooper knew that was her sister.  Then Mia said, "Ohhh, look at those little hands; and that BIG head!"  LOL!  Silly Mia!  It was also VERY sweet the first time Mia saw me holding Layla. She said (in a super sweet voice), "ahhhhh, Gary's holding Layla; so sweet!"  Thank you for sharing your sister with me Mia!

Mia used her blankets and built this "bridge" for her and Cooper to play.  At first, Elliott was peeking around the corner at them and then he crawled into the legos table and grabbed the pillow that's holding down the corner of the bridge.  A little later Cooper and Mia were sitting in the chair (you see in the picture) reading books and Elliott kept coming up behind Cooper grabbing his arm.  Cooper wasn't impressed and that's all the encouragement Elliott needed to continue terrorizing him.  So I got Elliott moved away and distracted with playing in another area.  :)

For a long time Mia has been calling her pretend horse "Clementine."  (I'm not sure when that started, but it's been going on for a long time.)  They were playing with Clementine and Cooper was also using that word except that was the name of his dump truck.  Ha!  I asked him, "Who's Clementine?"  And he points at his truck; "This!"  :)
