Standing and posing

Of all the new things Mia is doing of late the cutest of all are the funny faces and head shakes. She has also started standing like a proper biped which mean that walking cannot be far behind.

She was feeling very sneaky,

and then kind of like Egor,

and then a bit more like Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes.

While Alex was out in Phoenix, AZ Suzie taught Mia to shake her head.

Alex only fears that this will lead to further insubordination.

After a day in the park and some serious standing, Amelia declared that crawling was so yesterday.


Though she sometimes cries when placed in her car seat, she will voluntarily crawl into and out of it. Independence is key.


And like every great day, this entry ends with swinging.
