This is a "mommy" post, not a "Mia" post.
Mia has been up to so much lately. It's as if someone flipped a switch and now she's able to move around with more confidence. She's been babbling "mama" and "papa" or "dada" all day long. The other day I heard Lila saying: "Mia, say LILA...say LI-LA". It was pretty funny...even funnier when Mia kept saying "TA-TA". I believe that's her way of calling her sister.
Lila is still the most caring big sister. I do feel bad for her sometimes because Mia takes pleasure in messing up with her toys. I have to say I have the worst personality combination when it comes to siblings. One is fresh and the other likes to tease. So Lila is a perfectionist. Mia, because of her curiosity is somewhat an "annoyer". Lila will build towers and set her dolls in her dollhouse in the pattern she believes to be perfect and Mia (who is now also known as "Mia-zilla" as in Godzilla) will crawl up to Lila's projects and destroy everything. Of course Lila feels hurt, cries and whines while Mia looks at her with the biggest grin on her face. Go figure.
Mia has a temper. Yes, that's right. If she wants to do something and for some reason can't, she'll throw a tantrum. She'll stomp, grunt and even hit out of frustration. It can get pretty intense. On the other hand, she's constantly smiling and giggling...and she's the cuddliest baby ever. She's very outgoing, although she may act shy sometimes. She recently learned how to clap and dances whenever a familiar song plays. She is so smart and copies everything Lila does. Last week I caught her writing on the wall with chalk! Mia's most recent adorable habit is a funny face she makes when she's trying to "seduce" us into picking her up or doing something she wants. She looks at us and gives us the biggest smile but sort of closes her eyes in a funny way. It's irresistible!!!
Mia has a total of 4 teeth now. First she got her 2 bottom, middle teeth. Now she also got 2 teeth on the top but they're not on the center, they're the ones next to the two center teeth so she looks very funny. She also understands when we ask her to give us "um carinho" and so she softly caresses our face. She also likes to play "peekaboo" by covering our eyes with her hands.
Time is going by so fast we can hardly believe she'll turn 1 in a couple of months. Wasn't it just yesterday she was the mystery baby in my belly??? :-)
