Slowly but surely Mia keeps getting bigger. She's now 15 pounds 4 ounces, which is great. Her birthday is coming up real soon and it's funny because the law in California says for a child to face forward in a booster seat they have to be 1 year AND 20 pounds. I remember picking out her car seat a year ago thinking, oh no...what if our baby gets to 20 pounds before the year is out...not unrealistic since Brad and I were both decent sized babies. Now sometimes I think, what if she is in this car seat until she is 2...probably very unlikely, but I wonder when she'll finally get to face forward. All in God's timing. :)

Right now she has all these toys on the floor in the office by her and what is she playing with...my empty boxes. Figures. :)

Enjoy your weekend!

Mia has this drum that she loves to play with...it's the perfect size for her to practice sitting with, which she's getting really good at, she just can't get herself into sitting yet. We're still working on that.

We now have an appointment to see the surgeon who will perform Mia's heart surgery. Our appointment is on the 20th of this month. After we speak with him then they'll schedule her surgery. Please pray for wisdom and scheduling. Pray that Mia would stay healthy also.

Peace

Mia has been doing really well. I've been battling a cold recently, that's why there haven't been many blog posts...I've been sleeping when Mia takes her naps to try to keep up with the baby when she is awake. We still don't know more about her heart surgery yet, but hopefully we'll get some more information on Monday or Tuesday.

Today some dear friends brought a rose over for Mia. It's the Peace Rose. It is too remind us of God's peace that He gives to his believers, which Brad and I can attest to having felt firsthand over the last year. We've attached a picture of what the rose will eventually look like. Thank you for always remembering our little girl in your prayers, we continue to be so grateful.

So we don't have an official date of heart surgery, but it looks like that will be the next step for Mia. We are waiting to hear from her heart surgeon, we'll schedule an appointment with him and then discuss it and go from there. So sometime in the near future it may be happening, we'll see what he has to say regarding this.
