Current mood: excited
First off I want to say Mia is FINALLY feeling/getting better with her cold. YAY! But I think she gave it to her Daddy because now hes all congested in the sinus's and the rumbling in his nose/throat is driving me NUTS! at night! Hey, at least Mia is getting better right?! haha The nights have been slowly getting back to normal and she isn't waking up with breathing trouble and crying anymore. She still sneezes sometimes and is still alittle congested but its ALOT better.
Ok on to the 12 seconds! I have started this new game with Mia. I stand her up, let her balance herself straight, and I let go to see how long she can stay standing up by herself. She gets a HUGE kick out of this, especially when she starts to fall and I catch her. She giggles and smiles so big. At first she could barely stand for no more than 3-4 seconds but then she was able to stay up balancing herself for 8 seconds! I was all excited, and went to show Daddy. Then she did it again for 12 seconds!!! WOW! thats a new Mia record! She is getting better and better at it.
The big reason why I am trying to help her learn to balance is mainly because she is starting to cruise on furntiure now. (Cruising is when she stands up holding on to something then walks sideways) She is also becoming to brave. She holds on to things with one hand all the time and just recently shes begining to let go with the other, but she can't balance to well and she usually goes CRASH into something. She even banged her face into a chair and she still has a tiny bruise on it (its been almost 5 days now!) So I am teaching her how to balance better so the baby crashes can be reduced to a minimum haha.
Well I think I hear her getting up from her nap so I am off for more Mama duties. I am sure I will write again soon, hopefully we can make it to the mall to meet the Easter Bunny this week!
