Wow...am I really the first to post!? I was so surprised to see Mia Monday posted this early, but she is adorable as always...and is that a skirt? What a cute outfit!! :)

Ah, see. I always suspected Mia and I could be the best of friends. Now that you tell me she is an Elmo fan I know for a fact we're like, totally meant to be BFFs. Elmo rocks! And no, I don't care that I'm 33 years old and sans child. I *heart* Elmo and I'm not embarrassed to say it. Tell Mia next time she stops by my blog (she does read me right??) she should definitely select the Elmo skin. It gives you a headache if you stare at it for too long but hey, nobody ever said love was easy. :-)

Mia Monday - the crack of dawn edition. You're at this early today! Those little chubby hands are so sweet! And I suppose congratulations are in order for de-Elmo-virginizing yourselves.

Very cute!

Ah yes, Elmo. There's no turning back now. Just wait 'til Mia's humming/singing the tune to Elmo's world.

I have that exact same skirt (in dark red though).
Mia and I have the same taste! and I LOVE my elmo cellphone.
Of course she had fit. It's the toddler razor.

that peasant skirt mia is wearing has to be just about the most awesome thing ever!!!!!!!!

the cuteness, as always, is simply overwhelming...

is that a teeny tiny little khaki skirt....omigosh!
I'm sure you said something witty...however, as usual, I pushed ahead for the pictures and got stuck there...
blah blah blah
water bottle cuteness....
happy monday

The "Chris took the pictures" sentence had me rollin'. And it *is* a very grown up outfit on that munchkin! She's squeezable, for sure.

I love her ensemble! Tres Chic!
Ah the wonder of Mia Monday! What a great way to start my week!

Your last sentence cracked me up. Both of my kids were c-sections and I always say "I'm the mom and I have the scars to prove it!" ;)
Mia, as always, is just too cute!

My nephew has that cell phone. Elmo calls a lot.

I'm not sure how it is possible, but Mia gets cuter every Monday. How is she doing that?

I can tell she's thinking "Dad's guitar really needs some water - it's looking a little dry these days..."

Mia is looking so grown up these days! No wonder she has a cell phone...

isn't that last phrase just the ultimate equalizer? get used to saying it -- i'm sure it will come in handy for the next several decades.

Oh my GAWD, I love that outfit! She looks adorable! I think I know which Elmo cell phone you're talking about. We have one too. The child can't get enough of it.

There is no escaping Elmo. You did quite well keeping him at bay for nearly a year.

Isn't it funny, though, how a water bottle is almost as good as the Elmo phone? We got a lot of mileage out of empty yogurt containers and junk mail "credit cards" when B was that age.

i love that 3rd picture; you can just see the curiosity and concentration in her eyes!

Lovely. And that outfit is too precious. Rather bohème.

CUT from your body??? Yeah...Chris still owes you for that one.

No wonder you don't clean the bathrooms...I'd never get anything done if I was surrounded by Mia cuteness all day. LOVE the skirt!

;-) Mina still drinks out of a bottle, so she enjoyes the "dripping juice/milk all over the floor" game. I've got sticky spots EVERYWHERE.

Elmos is cool!
cute pic's.... :)

Did she play with the phone you bought her? I did that a few times with G when she would go crazy over something at someones house and of course she would have nothing to do with it once I bought it.

We had three of those much too vocal Elmo Stuffies around here at the same time, all talking and giggling at once. One cell phone is nothing.

Has she christened your keyboard with the water bottle yet?

I know you'll get buckets of comments saying the same, but, oh my, does she just get lovlier and lovlier. Not that she was ever funny looking, but, well- y'know. Anyway- gorgeous.

Adorable!

oh my god, her little outfit is killing me.

KILLING ME.

I adore the outfit. So cute how she is dragging it around with her.

Elmo is annoying, but way better than Dora the Explorer.

I love her outfit. That is so adorable!

Joey LURVES the water bottle, too! She prefers it to any toy. Beautiful pics. She's so edible, too!!! Oyoyoy!

Cute pictures.

As for terrific toys, have you tried the pot and the spoon? Although I don't know if it works if they don't find those two items themselves without help.

Lilli was never an Elmo fan but she loved the little Elmo flip phone a friend gave her.

She is absolutely beautiful.
Elmo...the infatuation only gets worse...trust me!! LOL

My daughter loves her dad's work 'pass' or whatever you call those id's officially. A friend's son made conversational noises into his dad's phone at 10 mo...they are pretty good at copying.

Just read some archives as I am new to you--I had 3 c-sections--two were for breech babies-(didn't try to turn them either). But, there are some positives to it--they are the prettiest babies. Mia is beautiful.
