Mia ate most of her oatmeal and ate dried cranberries for breakfast.  For lunch she ate ground beef, most of whole wheat elbow noodles with peas and cheese, and ate applesauce.

I have some cute 'language' stories about this morning.  Mia was at the window waving big and saying, "Hi!" loud.  There was a girl walking down the sidewalk on her way to school.

Our phone was ringing and she said, "hello!" without the "L" sound.  But it was definitely a nice big hello.  She's learning expressive language at a fast pace now.  This is one of my favorite developmental steps.  :)

She was playing with the cameras so I picked one up and pointed it at her and said, "Cheese!"  And she copied that too with a "cheese."  She was also doing my name again (which I love) and she did it for Christina too.  Coral, Coral's mom, and Christina were all impressed with how well she says, "Gary" with distinct "G" and "R" sounds.

She did play with toys too.  :)  She played with her usual spoon and bowl, the cameras like I mentioned, looked at books, and was even trying to put some legos together and not just tearing them apart.  I was putting my hands over her hands so she could feel what it was like when they snapped (not really a snap, but I couldn't think of another word) into place.

Mia does the cutest little routine after lunch every day.  After I'm done washing her I will tell her to go to her crib for nap time.  She has to stop and wave and say, "night" to everyone along the way.  It's super cute.  She loves it when they respond.
