Jeremy is hard at work, so I'm back. This post is really an excuse to post a few pictures I took recently. Mia is incredible. I'm loving every dwindling day I have with her. She's really starting to get the hang of crawling, especially when its toward something that (a) isn't hers or (b) is dirty - and of course no matter what it is - it goes in her mouth. At the moment her favorite things include the telephone (now I know how kids end up calling Hong Kong), a big hair clip (which usually includes the hair that I am rapidly losing), and Piper's tennis ball (mmm, so clean!).
Today her new thing was trying to feed herself. I am all about encouraging this, but did she have to pick the meal with blueberries? See the results for yourself!

Ashlei doesn't blog...
Ok, here we go...I've hacked into my husband's blog page just to update everyone on our dear Mia. Jeremy has been working so hard - at his job & with Mia, that he hasn't had time to post. As a matter of fact, he's working in Californ-i-a right now and although I swore I'd never post a blog, I guess I'll give it a go.
Since the last post, a lot has happened. Mia is 5.5 months old already and to date she's already taken her first vacation (to Busch Gardens), been on her first plane ride (to New Hampshire), had her first cold (just the sniffles), eaten her first cereal (and I believe fish chowder too (Tinkie?)), and crawled her first steps. It is amazing how much they change in so little time.
She loves to be on the move, crawling or shopping, either will do. Somehow when we go shopping she'll refuse to nap (I would too) but won't get cranky like she usually does. I suspect this is because she knows she'll have to go home if she makes a fuss. When we're at home, it's all about the playard AKA Sing-Sing. She moves around with the speed and stealth of an Army commando, but lack a little in the agility department. It won't be long until we'll be putting up the breakables on eBay.
Lately we've been trying to work on Piper and Mia's relationship. It was hard at first and Piper was a bit depressed when her little sister came home, but she remained protective if not interested. Just recently, Mia discovered Piper as a potential playmate and is infatuated. Unfortunately her 'friendly' squeal for Piper's attention may be causing some hearing loss and is definitely hindering their relationship. Piper will, however, take treats from Mia and let Mia pet her. It just may work out yet!
I'm sure there are oodles of things I'm forgetting to include, but since I said I'd never blog, this is more than I expected. Now let's see if I can get into his Flickr account to post some pics...
