11 Months

Mia is 11 months old!  She was a happy girl on Tuesday when we took these pictures, but today is a different story.  She was sent home from school early today with a high fever and she looks miserable.  I hope she feels better in the morning.



At 11 months, Mia is busy all the time.  She has learned to stand by herself for a few seconds at a time, and she stands longer every day.  I'd bet she's walking before her birthday.  She can say "uh oh" but usually she says it after she's thrown something on purpose, so we need to work on context.  If you pat your head she will say "hat" and if you say hello to her she will reply with "hi" or "hola."  She's very independent and will let you know if you make her unhappy.  She wants to play with whatever her big brother has, a preference that is pretty unpopular with her big brother.
