So Mia has finally learned to clap. She learned about a week ago -- at 9 months 3 weeks and some days. Crazy, as most babies have been clapping away for months now... many before they learned to crawl. And Mia's working on walking. But she's got clapping down... and now that's all she wants to do! It's so cute.
So now, when she wakes up and you pick her up, she claps. When I'm finished nursing her, she claps. She claps for Zee when she brings back the ball. She claps when you enter the room. She's stopped waving and giving high-fives because she's so interested in clapping.
But hey, who can complain, really? It's nice getting applause during the day.
She's very close to walking. She took a couple little shuffling steps today from Mark to me. Only because I was holding Mark's bluetooth. Forbidden items are a perfect motivator, apparently. She has tried to walk several other times and has managed to move a foot here and there. And she can stand for minutes at a time. It's so cute! She loves to walk holding on to our fingers. The other day, she even went from a standing position to a crouching position and back. It's like she couldn't figure out how to move her feet. It looks like it's only a matter of time before she puts it all together and is off and running!
No pictures... I've hijacked Mark's computer. Will try to post new ones soon. :)
