Mia has spent more time with her cousins Ross and Claire than the others. Given all of her cousins live over 1000 miles away, that is still not a lot of contact. Imagine our surprise when Mia recognized Ross in a photo of Ross and Claire that is probably 7 or 8 years old. Ross was just a toddler at the time. Said photo resides on the bookshelves in our living room. Mia took the photo off the shelf (she must be getting taller – we’re finding lots of new things are suddenly within reach). She then put the photo on the floor, sat down, and proceeded to point and say, “Ross, Ross, Ross.” We suspect she would have said “Claire, Claire, Claire”, too, except Mia can’t make K sounds yet.
That brings us to her other male person of interest (aside from Daddy, of course). Mia loves the Signing Time sign language videos, and she has a vocabulary of over 50 signs. The videos feature a boy and girl, Alex and Leah. Mia has been saying “Alex” a lot. The other night, she was watching a video with her father and when Alex came on, she pointed excitedly and said “Alex” over and over again. Daddy took the opportunity to put in a friendly taunt, “Mia’s got a boyfriend.” Fortunately, Mia has no idea what a boyfriend is yet. Otherwise I’m quite sure she would have said “Eeuw,” which is one of her favorite words lately.
