Mia ate whole wheat toast and mixed berries for breakfast.  For lunch she ate half of her ham, half of her crackers, ate bean & bacon soup, and ate kiwi.

At meal times Mia has been going right over to get her bib first.  She knows every little routine.  She also knows which bib is hers, but she hasn't yet mastered how to "lift" it up off the hook.  I'll hold her hand and say, "lift" while we lift it so she gets the idea what that feels like.  In the mean time she pulls straight out and she's tough enough she'll probably snap the hook off!  :)

Sometimes I kind of struggle finding things to write about Mia.  She's always very busy so that helps.  But she is moving from one thing to another and she spends LOTS of time observing what others are doing.  Which is obviously how they learn; watching and then trying it.  She has the same little spots she likes to "squeeze" into every day and those are where I'll search for her frequently missing shoe.  :)

Reading books is something she does almost every day too.  Two times this morning she got a couple books and sat up in the chair by herself and looked at them.

Lauralea has been doing some testing for the developmental profiles and so Mia has been super interested in observing those.  Lauralea will lay out some toys and give instructions for one of the kids and Mia tries hard to be in the middle of it all.  :)

I frequently use a pillow for my back whenever I am sitting.  When we are in the back rooms and if I have to leave for some reason I can almost count on this when I go back in the room; The pillow is on the floor and Mia is in the chair!  :)  At least she's predictable.
