Nusbaum Family: January 2011

She's getting so big- to us- people who don't know her always say, "She's so little"- we know the truth ;)

It was so nice to enjoy the holidays this year with our family!! Last year we didn't leave the house with Mia at all during the winter- and now I know why! Thinking back, I don't think we let too many visitors in either! She has already had two colds in the past 3 weeks. Nothing serious, just not fun. We are lucky to have such an amazing doctor who is willing to communicate through email, so it saves a lot of trips to the Med Center and keeps us away from the even sicker kiddos. She's one of Mia's doctors way back :) from the NICU days. Soon we are going to have to find a new Pedi because Mia can only see her until her 2nd birthday- just the "rules" of the preemie follow up clinic :(

Mia is keeping us busy now that she is really on the move! Many people have said, just wait until she's crawling- every time Chad and I are thinking, we really can't wait! I guess we a different perspective on things- each milestone still just amazes us. Mia is still working hard in therapy and getting stronger to get ready for walking. She's a great cruiser, and can stand on her own briefly. We are also continuing to work on her feeding and swallowing with speech therapy. She has "DA-DA" down pat now- it's so cute when Chad walks in the door and she starts yelling for him. We are starting a new sing and sign class at Kindermusic in a couple of weeks that I am excited about- Mia loves the regular music class there.

Okay, lots and lots of pictures- we'll see how many I can get posted before Mia calls me away!
