Up!
Last night, as we were getting Mia ready for bed, I was lying on the floor and Mia planted her chubby little hands on my hip and pushed herself up into a semblance of standing. She stayed there for a bit and then sat back down and crawled off. A couple minutes later, Chris and I looked at each other and said, wait, did she just stand herself up?
Yup, she sure did. She can do that now. She can also shoot avocado out of her nose and hit the wall ten feet away, but somehow I find that less endearing.

heh good luck chasing after her once she starts walking. *evil grin*
Posted by: averil at May 4, 2006 12:52 PMVery exciting and super scary at the same time! Nothing is safe now. :)
Posted by: Laura at May 4, 2006 12:55 PMI think it is time for you to put targets up on the kitchen walls, perhaps she is a future darts pro!
Posted by: Betti at May 4, 2006 01:23 PMhahahaha... love the mental image of avocado coming out of her nose. And the standing up??? AWESOME!!!!
Posted by: Corinne at May 4, 2006 01:24 PMWow...she can stand AND she makes guacamole?! Start renting that kid out for parties!
Posted by: QC at May 4, 2006 01:36 PMOh, I don't know. That life skill puts her well on the lucrative career path of the Nasal Avocado Ballistics Director.
Posted by: Gavin at May 4, 2006 01:55 PMWhat a big girl! YOu must be so proud. And scared...
Posted by: donna at May 4, 2006 02:03 PMThere are no new pics of MIA! What the hel.........can we get some new pics of Mia pleeeeeeeaaaaasssseeeeeee??
*sniff* :( *sniff*
Posted by: Red at May 4, 2006 02:22 PMI had an early walker too. (You do know that now that she has matered standing up alone that the walking thing is next?) She got up on her feet one day and started walking and has been on the go ever since!
Posted by: Maribeth at May 4, 2006 02:35 PMHooray!! Pretty soon you won't be able to catch her! Our Baby D is now doing the whole standing, not holding anything and then realizing it, thinking to himself "oh shit!" then falls on his butt.
Posted by: Sabrina at May 4, 2006 02:51 PMI dunno-- that avacado thing is pretty damn impressive. Ya got any video of that?
Posted by: Jen at May 4, 2006 02:52 PMSuch a talented child. ;-) She's growing up so fast, even from my perspective way over here. It's scary! But so cool.
Posted by: Heather at May 4, 2006 02:54 PMHmm... that's pretty good... 10 feet. Wonder if she could do it on command. Now, that would be awesome.
Look out now.... her "gimme that which I am not supposed to have" range has just increased greatly. :)
Posted by: Karen at May 4, 2006 03:04 PMStanding is awesome, but make sure she hangs on to that avocado trick - it'll be awesome at parties once she goes off to college.
Posted by: Dawn at May 4, 2006 03:14 PMYou gotta get the avacado thing on camera, for starters, because that's pricesless, but I imagine the standing to be equally fascinating and can't wait to see it in action, too.
Posted by: Emily at May 4, 2006 05:12 PMIsn't it amazing. I had a late walker, but it was still amazing watching her stand up all by herself. Mia is so cute. I second the avocado on film call. You have to get that on video.
Posted by: Kathryn at May 4, 2006 11:40 PMWe need pictures of Mia with avacado, what a good Mia Monday that would make. :)
Posted by: Dana at May 5, 2006 06:49 AMWould that be a whole avocado? Or are we talking chun-key?
Posted by: wlfldy at May 5, 2006 08:55 AMHA! and you thought just having a child changed your life... welcome to the fast track my dear!!!
