This body can hardly contain all its personality.

Mia has been exercising each morning with her dad. As you can see, her hard work is paying off.

Mia has spent much of the last month nestled into whatever box she can find

(we've got a couple stragglers from our move).

This is our morning Mia, complete with her 4 "B's"- bunny, blankie, binki, and big hair.

I am always surprised by how closely and stealthily toddlers observe their parents. A few weeks ago, I found Mia situated, almost perfectly, with my running accessories.

Grandma R will often allow Mia to work her hair magic. Mia loves it and the results are always stunning! For payment, Grandma R gives Mia free reign in the laundry room...

Now that we have access to a full-fledged entertainment system,

we get to see this smile every weekday at 9:30 am. Elmo's World!

Mia has learned to name her parts.

She is somewhat camera-shy, so I had to bribe her to perform with a blue jelly bean at the expense of articulation, but you'll get the jist.
