Being a teacher, I am thankful at this point Mia loves to "read" or be read to. Here are two of her latest reading buddies...
Yes, that is Mia naked reading with Zip. I took her upstairs tonight to change her for bed and the second I took off her diaper, she took off. Where did she head? Well, see for yourself.

Exciting News!!
I am so excited to share that I have a new job!! Next year I will be working in the same district, but different school. I have taken a part-time job as a Reading Specialist at Georgetown. I am so sad to leave Kendall, which has been such a great place to work at, with such a great staff, but this opportunity will give me more time with Mia, and much less work to bring home. I will work Monday-Friday from around 9-12:30 or so.
Minutes Old
Mia also had her 9-month appointment today. She is 20 pounds, 4 ounces (75th percentile), and 28 5/8 inches long (80th percentile). Mia's head is still measuring large-the 95th percentile! What we always say is "big head-big brains!" :) We are going to be working more on standing and eating more table foods as we approach 1-year-old-can you believe it???
I don't have any new pictures, so in honor of Mia's 9-month appointment, I will post some pictures of her as a newborn to show how much she's grown in such a short time!

Memorial Day Weekend
How nice it is to have a 3-day weekend!! Bear with me, there are quite a few pictures!
On Saturday night we headed over to Mike and Nic's for a BBQ. Here is Mia with Pat and Steph...
Sunday, I headed over to my mom's to hang out with her, my grandparents, and aunt. It was such a beautiful day and so nice to relax!

Baby in a Bucket
Yes, I know! I love to torture my little Mia by taking a zillion pictures of her and sticking her in random objects. She just so darn cute that I can't resist! Here are a couple from today.
Today I also sat Mia in the grass. Either she is not a big fan of the itchy grass or our lawn really needs to be mowed. It is probably a combination of both. :)
Look at the silly faces!

Venessa's Baby Shower
This weekend was Venessa's baby shower. Her baby is due in July, almost exactly a month before Mia's 1st birthday. It was lots of fun celebrating with Venessa. We went with a pink and brown theme and had lots of fun decorating. Here are some pictures from the day (I should also add that Mia appears to be teething once again, which is why her hand is jammed in her mouth for every picture!)...

My Cup of Tea
Can you believe it?? Mia is 9 months old today! Where does the time go? She is a busy girl, scooting all around, talking loudly-dada, mama!!!!, rolling, chasing Zip, sitting up, playing with her toys, and much, much more. It is amazing how much growth happens in that first year! Here she is...

Mother's Day at the Brookfield Zoo
Today Mia and I celebrated Mother's Day a day early with my mom. We went to the Brookfield Zoo along with my aunt. The weather couldn't have been more perfect-there wasn't a cloud in the sky! Mia also got to go on a carousel for the very first time with her grandma and aunt. Mia loved the animals of course, and we were all exhausted on the way home!
Mia and mom in Tropic World-Mia loved the monkeys!
