Growing Growing Growing

Then...And now...This is the last picture we have of Mia in her car seat. On Monday we swapped out her carrier for her new car seat. She's just growing too fast and got too heavy for her carrier and is now in a big girl car seat (don't have any pictures of that yet). Tuesday she had a doctor's appointment because I really thought she had an ear infection (grumpy grumpy girl lately) and she weighs 20lbs 6 oz. No wonder my arms are ready to fall off after carrying her around. So it turns out she doesn't have an ear infection it's just the 5 teeth that she is cutting and her pulling on her ears is just a coincidence. That's right 5. The 4 middle teeth on top have all finally broken through and the bottom one to the left of her two middle teeth. I'm hoping they all stay through and don't bob up and down anymore. I'm definitely ready for a break in the teething. One thing that seems to help is Popsicles. We have shared a few in recent days. I suck most of the flavor out and then give her the pieces of ice. She LOVES it. Then she enjoys chewing on the wrapper once the Popsicle is gone. We've been spending more time outside since we have had a few nice days and Mia loves it. She is definitely an outside kind of girl. If we could spend all day every day outside I think she would be in seventh heaven. She has also learned that when she's standing and holding onto ours hands that she can walk. I spend a good deal of time hunched over now so she can walk holding onto my hands. She definitely doesn't have the balance or stability to even begin to pull herself up or walk on her own but I'm sure it will come. She's rolling all over the place now but has no interest in crawling. I'm almost positive she'll walk before she crawls.


We've also got things growing in the back yard now. We replaced our dead peach tree and planted a pear tree this spring too. They both seem to be doing pretty good.



I've got the garden planted too. There are tomato and pepper plants and then peas, radishes, and green beans. Hopefully we'll have a delicious crop this summer.



Not much else going on right now. Staying plenty busy with Little Miss Mia.
