Mia's First Haircut

Mommy's going to cut my lock in the middle...it's too long!

Mommy, No! That's my long lock!

Hey, that wasn't so bad...and now I can see without that lock in my eyes! Thanks Mommy!

Here's my lock!

Baby Legs!

When we visited the Santa Barbara Sturms, there daughter had leg warmers and I couldn't resist, so I got Mia some the other day and here's a picture of her oh so cute baby legs!

We are back to 19 pounds! Yay! Please continue to pray for Mia's weight gain and head growth, we just know that God can shape her head perfectly, if that's His desire, without surgery. We continue to be so pleased at her progress, so thank you for always praying!

Mia appears to have survived her immunization without any seizures or fever for that matter, we are grateful, thank you for praying for her! She did manage to catch a little cold though, maybe her body was fighting the immunization and forgot about other germs? We're praying for a quick recovery from that. Her appetite has greatly diminished since the shot, so I wasn't surprised when I weighed her this morning and she's dipped back down to 18 pounds 15 ounces. :( So pray that her appetite would pick up and she'd regain that weight back...we just work so hard for those ounces that we don't like to lose any...(most people would love that problem huh?!)

Mia learned how to wave bye bye the other day, the Italian way, she's so smart! We'll have to get it on video because I just can't explain it. And another cute thing she does is kiss her toys, we'll ask her to kiss Junior Asparagus and she'll bring him to her lips. She loves giving kisses by the way, we exploit those as much as we can. We know that will change one day!

And we've started putting toys on the couch for her to play with, she doesn't pull up yet, but she is getting so much better at standing, we know it will happen soon (although Grandma Cheri did witness Mia pulling up from sitting to her little table twice), we just haven't seen it yet. ;) Figures Mia would show off for her Grandma, huh?!

So far Mia hasn't had any reactions to her shot, Thank You Lord! Please continue to pray that she wouldn't get a fever in the next couple of days and that she'd also not get any seizures.

She's been hovering around 19 pounds 3 ounces, so that makes me think that last month was a growth spurt for her, but we'll take the weight gain however it comes!

Please continue to pray for her head shape, both Brad and I continue to see it improve, pray specifically that the front would come forward and that the ridge would go away completely.

Still no crawling or walking, but we continue to see her getting stronger and look forward to the day she'll be moving and grooving. :)
