The Meester-8 & 9 month update...

Who wouldn't want to wake up to this little face-- what a FUN age!
Because it's California, we just keep this in the garage and put her out here when the kids are riding bikes or we're working outside 
Mia is surrounded by all her favorite things here...besides me :)
This past month or so she's discovered the piano and loves to play on it and listen to Zanna and James play too, she even claps after their performances :)
She also LOVES to dance whenever she hears music and l love seeing her bouncing to the beat
A true bonding experience for us-- her first McDonald's cone (not the ice cream yet :)
Mia's two bottom teeth came in at 8-months and then we were surprised to see these fangs come in next...we think she's just trying to keep up with all the Vampire hype these days :)
9-months old and sweet as ever!
"So Big"
This was her first 'trick' she learned at 8-months old and I was so excited to feel like we were really communicating!
Sweet girl


She's already being a stinker and pulling off her headbands!

Bath time is always a happy time :)

Playing at Bol Park-- she loves Zanna's lunchbox :)
She still Loves to eat, but is becoming a bit more picky.  She actually didn't grow at all between December and now so we are going back in for a weight check in a month.  She seems chunky, healthy and happy to us so we're not worried-- it may have been wrong measurements or the fact that she's been sick, we'll see...
This is her FAVORITE place to hang out right now-- the changing table.  She LOVES to play with all the lotion bottles, Aquaphor, wipes, neosporin tubes etc. and holds her legs out so you have to sit her down after every diaper change...fun times. 
Mia thought these chocolates were for her-- not yet babe!
Mia LOVES tissues, napkins, paper towels- any paper product really and gives you the stink eye if you try to take them from her
resting between push-ups
Finally pushing up more and not hating being on her tummy so much

Playing puzzles for the first time

Mia LOVES dogs, has learned to "bark" and gives Maddie kisses daily--so cute!

Oh my gosh!!! I am overcome with the "cuteness" of your family! Mia is a "natural" musician already; I can spot them every time! I would drive to Pokey to give piano lessons to all your kids! How about that?
ADORABLE pictures! Thank you,darlin'!
