Mia and Big D

Daniel and his mommy Noga came over to visit yesterday afternoon. Big D is 7 months old now! I remember when he was still in his mommy's belly. We had lots of fun playing - the two little ones even had a shouting contest! (The mommies didn't have a shouting contest - they just ate pizza, but we didn't get a video of that.)

The Tiger and the Bee

We met up with our bestest friend Leo with his parents Aunt Nancy and Uncle Jarom at the Halloween Fest. Here are Papa and Aunt Nancy with the animals.

Buzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

On Saturday, we had a dress rehearsal for Halloween. Mia is our little bumblebee! She loves to buzz and fly around!


That afternoon, Mia, Papa and Mommy went to the Kids' Halloween Festival at the World Financial Center. They had music and games and pumpkin carving and most of the stores were giving out candy! We tricked-or-treated with 5-month-old Mia, which is not as weird as it sounds, especially since Mommy had a camera and took about 500 pictures. (Without the camera, it's just a grown man asking for candy - silly and kinda creepy but mostly just lame.) Here are Papa and Mia getting some candy from the nice lady at Sunglasses Hut!


We can't wait for real Halloween on Wednesday...

Sitting pretty

Mia is getting so good at sitting up! She is pretty steady but still tends to fall backwards suddenly. She thinks it is a fun game though, and reaches out to be helped up again.

We had our 5-month doctor's visit on Wednesday. Mia is doing fine and is breaking all size records for babies her age! She weighs 18.5 lbs and is 27.5 inches tall. Is it possible to be in the 105th percentile for height?!?!?!?

Mia is 5 months old

Mia turned 5 months old yesterday. She has been having loud voice days and soft voice days. She even sits up by herself, but then promptly falls over and does a face-plant into her blankie. Here is a recent photo from the park.
