Well Mia is now 1 year old and she has been doing a lot of new things. She knows where her eyes, ears, mouth and nose are and knows how to put things on her head and face liek sunglasses and hats. Mia knows how to kick a ball when we ask her to...it's the cutest thing! She can also find something when we ask her to get it like her blanker or the bottle. When we ask her to lay down on her blanket, she does exactly that and when we ask her to give her baby a bottle, she knows how to do that too...it's pretty amazing to say the least.
As of Monday, Mia realized that she can run...it's cute to see. My mom and I bought her her first pair of walking shoes (2 pairs for the price of 1!) at the outlets two days ago and she just loves walking and running in them. Mia also knows that she can throw food...yes throw food, actually launch it! She's been doing that since maybe Tuesday when she got her nasty cold and doesn't want to eat. As I went to feed her a couple days ago, she put her hand out and the sweet potatoes went alllll over the wall....lovely! I think it just may be b/c of her cold or maybe she's getting to the point where she's going to be a picky eater? Who knows!
Eating wise, Mia can eat anything we eat now that she is one, except for anything that contains nuts. We still give her baby food along with people food. She likes eggs, but just not the texture. She likes toast too and had her first pancakes after her docs appt...def liked those especially the blueberry syrup!
As far as milk, Mia is through with nursing as of July 14th (her bday)...that was the first time she decided to stop nursing during her only feeding off me in the morning. Since I stopped nursing during the day and night, I then stopped completely the next day during the morning which Mia did not mind at all. We started giving her whole milk after her docs appt on July 26th and she had some at IHOP which she took with no problem...thankfully! It was cold but she chugged it down with a straw which she thought was cool.
Sleep wise, Mia is still a good sleeper sleeping 10 hours or so at night. Last night, she slept almost 11 hours and then went down again for another hour and 10 mins! I think she is starting to get some more teeth and with her cold, she's just one tired baby. She also naps well and has been napping about 2 hour naps since we first arrived on the east coast on June 30th. Her naps used to last about 1 1/2 hours and I just love the extra half hour I get to clean and do school work! :)
Mobility wise, she is one MOBILE baby! She walks very well and runs too. She crawls every now and then I think b/c she misses it and then realizes she can get there faster by walking. Mia is trying to get past the barricade we have in our little hallway and knows how to crawl under the jumper to do so. We are waiting to get a baby gate for the kitchen area and just don't want her to get in there until we get the gate. Once we do get the gate, we'll put two up and she can have the hallway to roam around in also.
Babble wise, she still says dada, sometimes mama, talks to herself in little conversations, says ock and ite every now and then, knows where the fan, light and clock all are when asked (points to them), and made up her own little babble when she launches her food (sounds like swoosh...quit laughing! ;) ). She is a talker just like her mommy!
Other than that, Mia is doing very well and we just love being parents! I still can't believe she is one year old and it's just crazy how fast it all went by. We love Mia very much and look forward to the many other milestones that are about to come her way. :)
