On a nice BBQ party we got invited to on Sunday there were quite a few requests to hold Mia for a little bit Like always Mia gracefully accepted.
Pulling and and holding on to things is also quite popular and she can even hold her bottle by herself for a little bit now - was just too slow to capture this with the camera.
After celebrating the big five month mark Mia somehow forgot to get ready for her first mother's day. So no special presents from her - but the usual big smile in the morning and patience with her parents who went shopping, sold her swing and drove all over town to get her a used "Jumperoo":
After she didn't quite know what to do with it the first evening she got more a more interested and two days alter is bouncing around in it with a big smile.
Mia's first overnight trip was quite luxurious: She had her own bed at a Radsisson hotel in the North Piladelphia and the softness could be adjusted with the push of a button: Her sleep number was 60. In Philadelphia she mostly skipped the touristic highlights and focused on ethnic neighborhoods like south of Center City with Italian Markets and restaurants
and a Vietnamese and Mexcian neigborhood close by. Of course there was also a visist to China town and a stroll over the Reading Terminal Market - the culinary heart of Philadephia.
