Monday Morning Mia

We're back from Thanksgiving, and we're all a bit sleepy here. Walter has barely moved since we returned, and Mia went to bed at 5:15 last night. Ben and I are functioning, but barely.
We had a great trip to see the grandparents in the big city. Mia learned about the subway system and got to ride several different trains and buses. She ate turkey for the first time (2 bites) and learned about the joys of bread.








She met Elmo, Grandma's cat, and fell deeply in love. We hear he's sleeping by her crib, waiting for her to return.











We had a playdate in Brooklyn with Katie. Mia and Katie shared their opinions on the most important topics--shoes and toys.










We got to celebrate our friend Jake's first birthday. Last year, we met Jake when he was just a day old in the hospital. This year, we got to eat cake and veggie booty with him. Mia got to play with all of Jake's new toys, and everyone had a fabulous time.








We met Penelope in Brooklyn for the first time. Penelope was born in August, but we haven't had a chance to travel to meet her before this past weekend. Mia was more interested in pulling up on the table than playing with the baby, but we had fun nonetheless.









Needless to say, Mia is absolutely wiped out from the whirlwind. Between beginning to really cruise along the furniture, finally eating a bit of solid food, and meeting so many new people, she needs another vacation!

Happy Monday everyone!
