Mommy had to go back to work this week but Mia enjoyed a special week with Daddy. Most days were standard: wake, eat, play, errand, eat, nap, play, Mommy comes home. But one day he was ambitious and took her on an amazing early morning trip to the zoo. The eating hippo and bathing elephant were the highlights and lucky surprises. Being so close to the elephant, Mia was able to speak in elephantese to the big 2 ton baby so that he could actually hear her. We're pretty sure he appreciated the trumpeting noise, as he returned the favor at one point. Needless to say, Mia was amazed. Morning is definitely the time to be there -- all the animals out and about, apes chillin', orangutans flying, lions roaring, hippos eating, baby elephants bathing and weighing in for the day, and zebras doing what they do. A very cool little trip.
Mia also enjoyed taking several walks to the park and she even learned how to climb up the big kids slide. Daddy helped her to figure it out and she just climbs and slides and climbs and slides for as long as we let her. And the static hair she gets is awesome!
One thing that she started doing was playing with the front door. She likes to trap herself in between the front door and the storm door. This has become somewhat of a game as she talks to us through the mail slot and will hide from us while giggling.
Mia also is learning how to drink from a regular cup, blow bubbles (and say "bubble"), care for her baby doll, and she loves to babble even more than before. She can mimic us when we say the alphabet and she can even say her name... MIA! Yeah!
