Mommy and daddy dressed in scrubs - mommy was an ER doctor and daddy was a surgeon. My sister-in-law really knows how to do birthday parties! Mia did very well around all those screaming kids and even slept through some of it.
We spent the weekend at home and watched the Gamecocks on television Saturday night. Sunday was a lazy day around the house with Clay's birthday dinner that night. His birthday was on Monday the 9th. HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I made his favorite, eggplant parmesan and cheesecake. His very first birthday as a daddy and I did not get any pictures of our little family dinner or present opening. I stink.
Monday night, his actual birthday, we went over to his mom's for dinner. She makes THE best lasagna and I think we both overdid it eating that and red velvet cake! It sure was good!
Tuesday night, his dad, Rhonda and Caryn came over with dinner from Longhorn's. YUMMY! Rhonda brought Mia 3 new outfits that are going to look just adorable on her. We had another red velvet birthday cake. Can you tell that red velvet is Clay's favorite? Unfortunately, neither cake had cream cheese frosting on it. I didn't know bakeries actually made red velvet cake without it! Kinda unheard of if you ask me! It was still a tasty cake and a very nice dinner. Mia had her first taste of something other than breast milk and Tylenol. CAKE FROSTING! She seemed to like it pretty well. Here's some video of it!
Mia also had an appointment with a pediatric orthopedist on Tuesday. This is regarding her right hip being "loose" do to a breech positioning. The doctor performed another ultrasound and said that everything looks great. She was such a big girl and just smiled and laughed at mommy and the red biohazard box the whole time. (Red seems to be her favorite color.) We will go back for another look at her hips in about 4 months just to be sure. The doctor said the looseness was probably due to leftover hormones from birth. Glad it all worked out for the best and we are done with that!
Work has been going pretty good. I am getting more accomplished when I'm there and adjusting pretty well. Although I still miss her like crazy when I'm there! No new weight loss to report. I have decided to only jump on the scale every other week now. I like the results even more that way.
Almost forgot to mention....Mia slept through the night for the first time last night without being swaddled. She is wiggling out of her swaddle and moving all over the crib now so we decided having a blanket in there wasn't a good idea. She is such a big girl. I am so proud of her! I still swaddled her for the car ride to the sitter's house this morning. She still likes to be snuggly. :)

okay just read the post now...guess I could have waited for my first post!!
such cute pictures, as always! Is that a baby stocking hat she is wearing ... or a big kid one just pulled tight? charli needs a few hats for the winter!
she had frosting?!?! on purpose, or did she throw her hand on it? What was her expression?!
SO glad to hear she slept all night - charli did that for us once last week - but nothing since, we thought we were onto something. I am glad Mia is doing well....how much is she weighing now? how long is she?
by the way...happy 11 week birhtday to Mia!!!
