We feel very blessed to have so many family and friends make the trip to come visit with Mia and get to know her. She's met her Cousins, Aunts, Uncles, Grandmas and Grandpas. She's met her future baby sitters (hint, hint), her future best buddies, and other furry, four legged friends as well. She's adjusted so well to life here in the U.S. and with us that we're constantly amazed.
Mia is very close to walking which just frightens Mom and Dad. We know that once she figures out how those little legs work, there will be no rest for us. The dogs either! She's eating lots of new things and quite by accident is mostly a vegetarian like her Daddy. She loves spicy food which we think is due to her orphanage putting salt in with her formula at an early age. Still not sure why they choose to do that, but it's definitely given her a preference for flavorful foods.
She is a huge fan of books. Her favorite activity is to curl up on your lap and have you read to her. I just placed another order at Amazon for more books since Mom and Dad are a bit tired of the 15 we've already memorized. We're definitely encouraging it and love to have all that cuddle time with her. She continues to love her baths and usually averages 30 minutes each night in the tub. She's just starting to figure out how fun the dogs are and one of her favorite passtimes is sloshing around in their water bowl. (Much to Mom's shagrin).
Mia is such a joy. She wakes up happy, goes to sleep without complaint and loves to interact with you. It still amazes us that we've only had her in our lives for less than 3 months. There is no doubt that she is our daughter and meant for our family.
