Mia's Update

Miss Mia is now just about 21 months old (on the 14th she will be) and is active as ever! She loves to play with her dollies, put them to "night night" with a blankie on their back and loves to try to put the doggie and kitty to night night too! haha! Mia also loves to try to put her shirts on, take her diaper off and go in her crib just to play. She loves to try to read her books or boats as she calls them and look at her reflection in the mirror. She also loves to dance along to fun kiddie music while mommy's driving. :) She also just loves showing off and making funny faces for mommy! All in all, she just loves everthing!

On Easter, Mia had a great day! We got to eat brunch with our friends, my sister and her family which was nice. Although Mia had a rough time in church, she did well at the restaurant thankfully! She also got to experience another Easter Egg hunt (her 3rd one!) and she loved picking up the eggs and putting them in her basket. Mommy and daddy got her an Elmo Easter basket with chalk, bubbles, stickers, cookies and a juice box in it. We also got her a stroller for her dollies which converts into a shopping cart! She really loves it! Our parents got her some cute things too including books, a soft toy lamb that "bahs" and moves which Mia just loves to play with, a coloring book and an Easter dress. She got lots of Easter goodies and had a fun Easter as did we!

Sleep wise, she is back to her 12 hour sleep schedule since we stopped taking her to daycare full-time. Her last day was yesterday and although it was really good for her, we just couldn't afford to keep her in any longer. Plus, I LOVE staying at home with her and witnessing all the things she does daily.

Mia still eats well when she wants to. She doesn't drink too much milk since she had a fever about a month ago but is improving. Mia loves pasta like her mommy and spicy salsa as she would say. She also loves fruit (or boot) and her fav snack is gold fish! She LOVES gold fish!

Mia still does baby sign even though she can say the words. She picks up on things so easily and has done so since the past couple months and can say over 60 words. I think I'll stop counting once she reaches 100 words...haha! It's cute to see her do the fish sign when she says she wants "fish" for a snack (gold fishies that is).

Miss Mia loves having her Aunt Linda around this week to play with. Mia doesn't get to see her very often so it's cute to see how well she adjusted to having new people in the house. Oh and Mia just loves saying Linda's name...she says, "Neena!!"

All is going well here in the Carroll household. We can't believe how fast time is flying by and before you know it, Mia will be 2 and baby #2 will be here! We definitely enjoy every minute we get with Mia and can't wait for Keegan to come along! I wonder what he is going to look like and how Mia will adjust to being a big sister? Can't wait to find out! We really love being parents!
