Growing Up

As seeing pictures of a friend's newborn baby reminded me, time is definitely flying and babies change so fast. Mia's quickly moving along in her ability to do and get what she wants.

She loves bath time. Her favorite activity is reading (or eating) her Dr Seuss bath book. We really have to wash her hair now, especially because of the amount of cereal that gets stuck in it; it is growing so fast (and is still very red).
She has finally figured out that she needs to hold onto something in order to stand. She's getting pretty good standing on her own.

Though sometimes she gets a little greedy and tries to stand without holding on.

But our biggest recent milestone is that Mia figured out how to sit up on her own today. She was playing on the floor, rolling around on her tummy. I turned around to check on her and she was sitting up trying to pull out a magazine from the bookshelf.

(Thank goodness we secured the bookshelf to the wall a few weeks ago!)
