Almost 9 months!

Mia is almost 9 months old in these pictures. She is officially "on the move" - crawling like crazy!!! She started crawling at about 8.5 months and just 2-3 days later decided it was time to climb her first step! She now goes from the carpet in the living room, up the step onto the hardwood floors and she's off! She crawls great on the carpet but takes the easy way out on the hardwood - just sliding across the floor on her belly. It's so cute!

She has 2 teeth - both on the bottom - and continues to teeth. She says ma-ma-ma-ma and da-da-da-da all the time. She also loves to play with her toys while standing up against the couch.

We celebrated Christmas with the Halden side in mid-January. Heather and Paul, the girls & Grandma & Grandpa decided to get rooms at a hotel in Fargo with a waterpark. We brought Mia along and the hot tub was nice a luke-warm so we put her in her floaty and tried out some swimming. She LOVED it!!! She is officially our little fishy! Mommy & Daddy think it may be time to start some Mommy & Me swimming lessons in Moorhead! =)
