Mia ate half of her brown rice and ate raisins for breakfast.  For lunch she ate meatloaf, french bread, carrots, and two servings of dried apricots.

Oh my goodness; I have no idea how many times yesterday Nora and Mia said Cooper's name (names). "Bubba!"  "Cooper!"  "Coopa!"  I think they were missing him!  This morning Mia was sitting on the floor taking off her shoes and she stretched her leg way over in front of Cooper and said, "Help me Coopa!"  Lauralea and I roared!

I had to take a picture of Lauralea "feeding" Mia.  She'd been watching Lauralea feed Cooper his bottle and said (while pointing at Cooper's bottle), "I want a bottle."  Then she gets down off Lauralea's lap and finds the 'milk glass' and crawls back on Lauraleas' lap to be fed.  So Cute!!  :)

And then another picture of Mia feeding her baby.  She did LOTS of doll play!  (She sat in the chair for probably 20 minutes at least!)  She was wrapping, feeding, and singing to her baby.  Nora was having one of her "I want to play alone" mornings so it was nice that Mia was so engaged with her doll.  (Riley is still home with Croup.)  It was about 10:00 when Nora was ready to play with Mia.

Mia was playing with Cooper and I turned around for a minute; she'd pulled one of his socks off and was trying to put it on her own foot over her sock.  :)

We were reading lots of books and Mia always loves that.  We were reading about a hippopotamus and I asked if she could say it; "Hippopada!"  Love it.  She's game to try and say just about anything you ask her to.  It's great that she likes language so much.  It's definitely one of her primary strengths.
