Update-Mia's 15 months

Sorry it has been a little while since I have updated, but I have caught up with some posts below. Mia just turned 15 months, and is doing more and more each day. At her 15 month check-up she weighed 21 pounds, 15 ounces and was 30 3/4 inches long. She actually went down on the growth chart with her weight, but the doctor said that is pretty normal with her being more active. We can certainly tell our little baby is losing her baby fat and growing up.

Mia also has also had a big first-her first steps!!! At 15 months she has been a bit stubborn and disinterested in walking, but on Sunday she took her first steps and has been taking 5-6 steps at a time fairly frequently. I was at my old coworker Jen's house and Mia just walked over to Jen like she had done it a million times before. It is so funny how when children finally decide to do something they just do it. Mia had Cort and I laughing so hard today because she was cracking up as she was walking. She would then clap for herself when she was done. :) I will try to post some pictures when I get some good ones.

Mia has been a busy bee lately. She has become better at playing by herself for longer periods of time. She continues to be chatty. Her words include mom, dad, uh-oh, duck, and up, and a bunch of babbling I don't quite understand. :) If you ask her what a cow says she says "mooo." She is very good at shaking her head no. She loves to watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse these days and has really taken to the Mickey and Minnie dolls that Marina gave her for her birthday-thanks Marina! Every morning when she wakes up and we go in her room she is in her crib playing with her little glow worm that Aunt Pammy gave her-thanks Pam! Mia continues to love books and to be read to. She is a master at scooting up and down the stairs. She likes to tickle our feet and stomaches and likes to be tickled. She continues to be a good eater and loves bananas and McDonalds french fries (I promise I give her the bananas more often!). Mia also spends a good part of her day riding on or pushing her ride-on toy-Thanks Melissa!

That's about it for now, check out the post below for what we've been up to. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Becky we love your pictures and keeping up with the beautiful Mia and Noah. The hospital blocked the blog and we really missed it. Now you are back on and we really enjoy keeping up with the kids.
We think of all of you often. Congratulations to Jen!
