Smiley Mia

Mia is such a happy girl. Since she is now walking all over the place, she is happy most of the time. She zips around looking for something new to get into. Of course, this makes my job more challenging. She also has a new word. The only intelligible words she said to this point were mama and dada. She babbles a lot, and you can tell she is now trying to turn this babble into words. Yesterday Paige and I were having a conversation about books, and she is sitting on my lap, and out of the blue, says "book!" It was so cute! So, we got a book, and she carried it around saying "book." This morning after she got up, the first thing she said was book! Very cute and funny! I'm not sure she knows what this word means, because everything she touches she says book, but it sure is cute to hear her little voice making words!

Mystery Solved

For the last couple of years, we have periodically been losing dvd's. This has completely baffled and frustrated me. I hate to lose things! This past week, we've been doing some rearranging of tv's/dvd players. As we were moving the dvd/vcr combo, we discovered it had a rattle. Out came Charlotte's Web! A couple of days later, as we were hooking it all up, it was rattling again. With some investigation, we found SIX MORE dvd's inside! They were in the vcr side of the machine. The most frustrating of all was the Smallville disc, as the girls had borrowed this from friends. After exhausting all leads as to where this disc could be, we bought the entire season last spring, in order to replace the one disc that was lost ($40!). Of course, Lily is being blamed for this, and she has no idea what anyone is talking about! We will have to watch Charlie and the Chocolate Factory soon, as we've missed this one most of all!
