Current mood: shocked
Mia did another new thing starting yesterday! Right before her bedtime bath, Adrian was holding her. After I was done getting stuff ready for her bath and bedtime I went over to get Mia. I went up to her, arms stretched out, and opening and closing my hands and saying "Come on Mama up up up time for your bath!" She got all excited and for the first time, mimicked what I was doing! She opened her arms wide as if to reach for me AND started opening and closing her little hands the way I was doing it! She did it for awhile while Adrian and I watched her in shock. "Did she just copy what I was doing?!?" I asked Adrian, he said "Yea looks like it!" I picked her up and encouraged her and rewarded her with a nursery rhyme song as I took her away for bath time.
As I laid her on my bed to prep her for her bath, I tried it again. Sure enough she reached out and opened and closed her hands mimicking what I was doing! I was so proud.
The next morning I tried it yet again, I was seeing if she had forgotten, but nope! She did it again!
