I really have a lot of pictures/video to go through that I recently uploaded, but here are just a couple of random shots of Mia from awhile back that I found on the computer.
Mia is a busy little 2 1/2 year old. She is still VERY into books and reading and has an amazing knack for remembering titles and words in books. I often catch her "reading" her books and using some of the phrases that are in the book-too cute! She also loves to pretend and will often play by herself talking outloud, pretending and acting out different things.
Mia has continued to do great with the potty training. Every once in awhile she has an accident, but they are pretty rare which is awesome.
Mia asks about a million questions daily, and one of her favorites is "why?" The drive to and from school each day is often filled with interesting conversation. :)
Mia has really had a surge in her independence since starting school. Often times when we try to help her with something we get the "I do it" response. She has been motivated to dress and undress herself, although it is not always done sucessfully. :) This indpendence is great, but with it comes some serious stubborness which is a family trait on both sides. :) There are often some battles and tears as we try to go through our daily routines.
Mia has started swim lessons and really seems to like them (more on that in another post). She is a total water baby and reminds me of myself when I was younger (I loved the water!). Mia has no fear of the water which is both a good thing and a bad thing.
Mia continues to love her brother and loves to try and make him laugh. Now that he is crawling, she crawls around too and tells him to get her. :) The other day she tried to play hide and seek with him and hid on the couch in the living room under the pillows while Cole was in another room. I tried to expain that he wasn't going to be able to find her, but it is not always easy to reason with a 2-year-old.
However, it is not all roses. If Cole goes after Mia's toys, or god-forbid a Lego castle she has built, look out-it is not pretty. We have told Mia that if she doesn't want Cole to touch something, she needs to put it up high on a table. Otherwise Captain Destructo will get it (more on that in another post!).
Mia is a loud talker. In fact everything she does is loud. I can't figure out where that came from-ha, ha! Speaking of talking, she is talking up a storm, but sometimes is a bit hard for others to decipher. I am a good translator! Mia is into princesses these days and anything girly. She always wants to wear jewelry, nailpolish, hairbows, etc. It is much simpler to get Cole ready in the morning!
In a nutshell, Mia continues to be our spunky, fun, stubborn little firecracker. I cannot believe in a few short months she will be 3-yikes!!
Onto the pictures. Here are a couple when I was testing out my new brown paper courtesy of Pam..
Isn't this hat so cute-thanks Grandma!
Terrible picture, but look how straight Mia's hair is!!
And some pics of Mia hamming it up...
I believe this is the "cheese" face
