Mia's Vital Statistics

At Mia's checkup last week, we found that she is now in the 90th percentile for height and 75th to 90th percentile for weight. Two months ago, she was in the 97th percentile for height and 50th for weight. She is now 31.5 inches tall and weighs 24.2 lbs. Her doctor says she is right on track, gaining a good amount of weight. We're waiting to find out where her blood lead level is.

At 24.2 lbs, we are really glad she is getting around mostly on her own two feet. On Saturday, I even took her into the Carter's children's clothing store without a stroller. I have to say I regretted that decision, as she wanted to run from rack to rack checking out the clothes. Add "fashionista" to the list of things she just might be when she grows up. (That list is getting long. Basketball player, gymnast, architect, figure skater, drummer...)

Mia is walking a lot and really fast. She hasn't perfected her balance yet, so she has been bumping her head an awful lot.

What else is new with Mia? She has decided it is fun to brush her feet with her toothbrush. She loves opening and closing things. She understands a lot more words but still isn't talking much. I think she might have said "hot" tonight, but I can't be sure. She is suddenly demonstrating a strong preference for Daddy over Mommy.
We have found a local play group for young Chinese children. We're going to check it out later this week.
