Me, My Friends and the 4th

Here are a few of Mia's friends at baby group. Haley, Julia and Mia. All were in a good mood and looking at the camera with the moms standing in the same order making funny sounds we think will make our babies look at us. It was funny. They held hands and even tasted each other's hands every now and then. They are already sharing!
We had a great 4th. Mia was decked out in her "American Baby" dress, so cute and checked! We spent it with family and then at a friend's house. There was great food and a whole lot of talking about the babies. It seems it really is a universal bond with every parent.
Mia likes to watch TV. I think it is the blinking lights. Though I do feel bad when she watches it every time it's on. I'm afraid it will turn her brain mushy, but I know it won't. We've been reading to her and singing to her and she likes shaking her booty. She helps her daddy play his video soccer game. She loves to sit up and stand up. She will be perfectly content sitting with us on the couch or wherever. She has discovered her hands, and holds them together like a little lady. You can see they taste quite good too. She flashes us her huge gummy grin and is laughing much more. She talks to us all the time, in her swing, in her car seat, at the table, on the couch. She's pretty funny, but I guess that is not surprising that she is our delight just like every other parent and child. She is laughing when I bathe her as I wash her hands and under her chin. She is turning towards our voices and is looking for us when we are in a room. She's weighing in at 11lbs 6ozs right now. She's getting rolls on her legs and her wrists and her fingers are getting fat. She is so much fun.
I hope everything is well with you and I promise we'll update sooner next time. Love you all.
