Wrist rattles

Aunt Lizzie and Uncle Scott came down to Greenwich over the weekend. They brought Mia some little wrist rattles that she can wear as bracelets. The spoiling continues...

Are you calling me...

short?

Jumperoo!

We're down at Grandma Lu and Grandpa Dom's house. There have been a lot of hugs and kisses...and...a trip to Toys R' Us for some spoiling. Mia will take a new "Jumperoo" back to school this week. Mom's been looking forward to something like a "Johnny Jump-Up" for a long time, but only recently found out that those traditional door way jumpy seats won't fit the door frames in the new apartment. Here is the next best thing (many would argue it's even better!).

Unfortunately, after a lot of anticipation and some frenzied assembling we realized...
This pint-sized package can't even reach the ground! We're sure she'll grow into it soon.

Sitting Practice

Mia is getting stronger by the day. With a little help she can even sit up for short (think a few seconds) periods of time before collapsing nose first into the carpet. Yesterday morning she worked on this new skill in the nursery.
Going down!

Fun with Froggy 2

Mia still loves to see her hairy frog on the changing table. The only thing that has changed since Froggy's last blog entry is that Mia now regularly tries to consume him.

Tasty!

Bands Aids and Tylenol

The only evidence of yesterday's doctor's appointment is a couple of band aids and a little fever. Mia has been a real trooper, but even she isn't without a little crankiness.

Four Months

Mia is about four months old now. Where has the time gone? Today's big activity was a check-up with the pediatrician. Our little peanut tipped the scales at a mere 11 lbs. 12 oz. She's grown plenty-moving right along her little (literally) curve. Here she is sitting on the baby scale. There were shots, too--but we could hardly look ourselves, so there are no photos of that.

Exersaucer

Well, looks like Mom and Dad will soon be investing in one of these crazy contraptions. Mia tried out an exersaucer while attending Mom's department meeting at a fellow faculty member's house today. Who wouldn't be entertained (if not overwhelmed) by something like this?

More strap hanging practice

We're back home from Colgate now and Mia is back to strap hanging practice. This time, she's added the element of movement. While swinging she now enjoys reaching up to hold on to the toys above her. "When can we go to the city, Dad?"

Go 'gate

Mia paid her respects to a giant "C" in the athletic center following Mom and Dad's class banquet last night.Then she was off to her first (and last, according to Dad) fraternity party.
