Haircut

Just before our vacation in Cancun, Mexico next week Mia got her hair cut a bit shorter. She still remembers the last trip and is already looking forward to swimming, ice cream and chocolate milk

Valentine's Day

Mia didn't forget to give Mr. Mimi some special Valentine's day cards and we think he was really touched by this. Nobody else had thought of that before.

She also took a picture of the special event

Clean Up

When mama asked Mia to clean up a bit and put all her toys in a big plastic container Mia did a pretty good job and was proud of her work

Cousins

This past weekend Mia spent an afternoon with her second cousins Ben and Ella. Ben showed her all her toys but most very related to robots or shooting things - not really Mia's taste.

Also the shooting game on the iPad didn't really interest Mia

So she watched 15 month old Ella instead


For the spaghetti dinner mama had cooked she then joined Ben Ben again at the kid's table

Dresses

This morning Mia wanted to try out some dresses. They looked cute on hear but are not quite the right outfit in the middle of winter:


But they seem to be perfect for jumping around on her mattress

At Home

Even after many months the kitchen is still one of Mia's most popular toys. Today she made some jello and a bowl of soup. Before she started she made sure mama helped her to put on her apron



The pants as a new kind of hat was one of her innovative fashion ideas

She also modeled in a bathrobe she didn't want to wear earlier - now it is too small

Using a band aide as a mustache was another idea of Mia

Here she shows off all the stickers she got from a very generous employee at the grocery store

Chloe's Birthday party

For Chloe's birthday party Mia had to put on some bowling shoes. This year our neighbors had picked a bowling alley for their daughter's party. First Mia was watching Luca, then they tried together and later Mia tried on her own.


The little ramp for the ball that had been set up for the children helped of course.
