Mia Monday #15: You Try Getting Her to Crawl on Demand Edition
People, I know this is lousy quality, but it was the best I could do. Here's how it always plays out:
Beth says: Mia! Come to Mama! Come here, Mia! Come give Mama a kiss!
Mia thinks: Hey, Mama has that camera I like to chew on, I'll head on over there. Wait a minute, Mama looks pretty distracted. I think this is my chance to go chew all the cables under the computer desk. See ya!

She SO ditched you!! LOL
Too cute!
Oh, man. She's crawling. And, she looks rather proficient at it.
And adorable, too.
Buh-bye days of immobility...
So, so damn cute. How I LOVE Mia Mondays!!
Posted by: Sherry at April 24, 2006 01:21 PMHeh! Too funny. I can never get Matthias to do anything on film. They are so much smarter than we think!
Posted by: Bella at April 24, 2006 01:23 PMNow THAT is some very cute crawling. She's like a tiny baby elephant, what with the swaying and very deliberate motions.
Posted by: samantha at April 24, 2006 01:32 PMOh, that was freaky... I was intently watching Mia (who is indeed the most adorable child who is still a baby) and then the little "hey Mia" came out of my speakers and I swear it sounded just like my voice!!
Posted by: Amber at April 24, 2006 01:37 PMI can't believe how fast she's growing up? Didn't you just have her, like, last week or something?
Posted by: Dawn at April 24, 2006 01:38 PMToo cute. And soooo obvious that this girl has a mind of her own. ;)
Oh that is so true! I have the same trouble with my kiddo. And what is with the computer cables? I have spent a fortune on safe, educational, age appropriate toys for my son. Time and time again he just wants to play with empty bottles, catalogues, computer cables and during diaper changes, himself. I should have just saved my money and put him to play in the recycling box. :-)
Posted by: Jacqueline at April 24, 2006 01:54 PMMy parents tried to make the crawling taoe with me. My mother lured me with teddy bears and cookies, and when mothing worked my father plopped down his can of Genesse Cream Ale, which I happily crawled to and began to drink.
Posted by: shannon at April 24, 2006 02:05 PMThis is so cute! My kids always took one look at me with a camera and headed in the opposite direction! Yay for Mia Monday!!!
Posted by: Maribeth at April 24, 2006 02:17 PMI can almost hear her thinking, "I will not be your web monkey! You think up your own content, missy!" Children can be so ungrateful. :sigh: :-)
Posted by: patricia at April 24, 2006 02:24 PMHope you have a good pair of running shoes. It's all downhill from here.
She is so cute though. Don't beieve I've seen her technique before.
That was great! And then, mama put down the camera and ran, right?
Posted by: jen at April 24, 2006 02:30 PMShe's all "see ya" ... she's very clever, your daughter. You're gonna have a helluva time when she's a teenager. :-)
Posted by: mrsfortune at April 24, 2006 02:32 PMeven without sound on my computer, that was incredibly cute!
Posted by: crystal at April 24, 2006 03:08 PMToo cute! I wish we could've seen her face. Ava always turns like Mia did, right before crawling away and gives me this devilish smile...like "catch me if you can!"
Posted by: Summer at April 24, 2006 03:15 PMAwwww, she's crawling! How cute!
Posted by: Sweety at April 24, 2006 03:22 PMThats even cuter, when they crawl away from you.
Posted by: Melissa at April 24, 2006 03:52 PMand so it starts...
Posted by: hannah at April 24, 2006 04:48 PMYour child is so cute my uterus hurts! ;-)
Posted by: keepergirl at April 24, 2006 08:40 PMI like that you can audibly hear her breathing, like she's overexerted from having to carry those cheeks all over the place. Molly had them, too... the kind people have to forcibly stop themselves from nibbling on...
Posted by: Stacy at April 24, 2006 09:18 PMThe cuteness is just killing me.
Posted by: liz at April 24, 2006 10:27 PMYikes! Mia crawls! Too cute...and she is growing up so fast...wiping tears from my eyes! She is still the MOST beautiful baby ever!
Posted by: Gypsy at April 24, 2006 10:55 PMOh boy, all I can think of is that you're in trouble now - good luck with that!
Posted by: Beth in StL at April 24, 2006 11:21 PMYet? She crawled!
Posted by: Queen of Ass at April 24, 2006 11:28 PMI love how you kept the shot going until the last bit of toe was out of view. Then I imagine you stopped filming, dropped the camera like a hot potato, and sprinted to the other room to stop the cord chewing fest.
Mia is just delicious.
Posted by: dawn at April 25, 2006 03:24 AMLovely independent little lady, that one. Her wiggly little bum is so cute heh.
Posted by: Heather at April 25, 2006 04:04 AMHow cute is that! LOL
Posted by: Melissa at April 25, 2006 08:39 AMheehee. mobile mia, too cute.
Posted by: suze at April 25, 2006 09:36 AMoh my god! That crawling is too cute! Also I LOVE how she has such a great handle on ignoring you.
Posted by: Pamalamadingdong at April 25, 2006 10:32 AMToo funny! I think Sophie is part cat because she only does things we ask when she deigns to hear us.
Posted by: erika at April 25, 2006 01:48 PMShe looks like she's a pro at crawling now. Were you trying to be sneaky with the camera?? Seems like everytime mine see the camera, they either run away or won't do the milestone they were just doing 2 seconds before I turned it on.
Posted by: Sabrina at April 25, 2006 04:24 PMWatch out, it is down hill from here. ;)
Posted by: Emily at April 25, 2006 04:57 PMCUUUUUUUUUUUUTE! I love how she even looks back at you... too funny. I stole your monthly letter idea, btw. Hope you don't mind. Since how I'm totally slacking on the whole scrapbooking/ journaling thing I figure I'd better document big steps somehow. ;)
Posted by: Jaime at April 27, 2006 04:15 PMI can't believe she's crawling! Where did the time go? 9 months.. Crazy. :)
Let the fun begin!
