Since we got back from Easter, Mia has been doing pretty well, sleep wise. She didn't sleep too well there and would only sleep about 6-7 hours at night and would not go back down when she got up at 7am. Now for the past two nights, Mia has been sleeping her usual 10 hours at night and is going back down to sleep after her 6am waking! Woo Hoo! Sleep definitely feels good when you're sleep deprived! I love it!
Oh also, Mia has been doing better at pulling herself up on things and bending down to get her toys. She walked alongside Josh's parent's couch at home for the 2nd time (did it for the first time on March 31st) and loves to stand up, w/ support of course. Mia also loves to point (loved pointing to the buttons on the airplane phone) and is now interested in the lights as of yesterday. She kind of points to them and just stares.
Josh and I are teaching Mia not to go near things that could be dangerous like the fireplace and entertainment center by telling her NO. We tell her to STOP if she goes near things that aren't dangerous like when she decides she wants to crawl all the way into the kitchen (tile floor, no es bueno para babies). We'll tell her STOP or NO in a loud voice and she'll literally stop and just look at us. She listens very well!!
We haven't fully baby proofed yet and we're hoping that Mia will listen as well as she does now, when she gets a bit older. We are putting a rubber cushiony edge on our coffee table though and outlet protectors in the sockets. That's the extent of our baby proofing though. We want to get a gate that is 54" wide but have had no luck in finding one so Mia doesn't crawl into the kitchen. We'll just have to keep telling her STOP if we don't find one.
Other than that, Miss Mia has ceasted to amaze us! :)
