7 Months, Scooting and Santa

Mia is now 7 months old. Just two days ago, she crawled around a tiny little bit all by herself. Luckily, both Papa and Mommy were around to witness her milestone! Here are Papa and Mia celebrating this huge achievement.


You can watch it too...


Today we had brunch with Leela and her parents Uncle Dani and Auntie Sumi in Brooklyn. Mia was very excited to visit another borough. Here are Papa and Mia and Uncle Dani and Leela.
Leela is two months older than Mia and she is quite a talker and almost a walker! She was so sweet to share her toys with Mia for the afternoon, especially her new red wagon!
As you can see, Mia also likes to eat other people's books.

On Friday, Papa took Mia and Mommy to the children's holiday party at his office.
Mia enjoyed the giant gingerbread house and toy soldiers but was suspicious of Santa's big old fake beard. You can't get anything past her!

Disco Baby

We just went to Baby Loves Disco this afternoon, where we shook our tailfeathers and had a great time! Papa was skeptical, but when we got there he had the most fun of all dancing with his little Mia. (Mommy really enjoyed carrying the diaper bag. ) Aunt Noga was also there with Big D and his Auntie Anita. It seems like everyone except Big D had a hard time keeping their eyes open during the camera flashes!

Here are Mia and Papa dancing to Abba. Their moves were so fly!


Here are Auntie Anita with Big D and Papa with Mia. Mia loves those egg shakers. She loves to eat them.


And here are Mia and Mommy and some big red balloons.

Yummy Solids

Mia has started eating solids! She only eats a tiny bit at a time, though, and we are slowly working up to two whole tablespoons of food in one sitting. Mostly she enjoys chewing the spoon.

So far, she likes carrots and peas and she really really REALLY digs apples and acorn squash. She does not enjoy rice cereal. Soon, we are going to try: butternut squash, pears, banana, chicken and oatmeal.

Thanksgiving... so late

Just wanted to post a fun movie we made over Thanksgiving. Here is Mia eating her carrots. She eats solids now!



We had a lovely holiday in Mathews, Virginia. We even met cousin Liam for the first time. Here are the kids meeting and playing - there was only a tiny bit of hairpulling!


Thank you Butler and Diana and Joseph for hosting Thanksgiving this year!
