14 Weeks Old

ESPN was in town last Saturday for their College Gameday show. Papa bought Mia her very first USC cheerleader outfit and she is so adorable in it! We dressed her up and took her down to the stadium and she actually made it on TV. You have to know what you're looking for but it's so cute. One of the guy's, Chris, is talking and all of a sudden Mia pops up over his right shoulder. So cute! Of course, daddy recorded it and we will be keeping it to show her one day. Clay and I went to the game that night and also made it on TV. A bunch of celebrities. Hee hee.


In the last week Mia has really been into sucking her thumb. It is the cutest thing. She can get her thumb in her mouth on her own and it really seems to soothe her so well. I like it much better than the paci. At least with the thumb it will never get lost and never get dirty from falling on the floor. She has also started drooling this week. Not a lot really, but it’s starting and is supposed to be a sign of teething. I’ve read that teething symptoms can start months before any teeth pop through but she hasn’t even rolled over yet and we’re talking about teeth!


When I was pregnant and right after Mia was born, Clay and I used to joke that we hoped she took after both of us and loved to sleep. Well, there is no doubt she LOVES to sleep. Don't get me wrong, I am not complaining about sleeping through the night at all, but the first few days this week she has scared me. When we picked her up on Saturday night it was after midnight and we ended up waking her up while trying to get her into the car seat. By the time we got home and I nursed her and got her back down it was about 2:00am. She slept until 10:00 that morning. Sunday night she went down around her usual time, 10:30 and slept until 8:30am, was up for an hour or so and was back down for a nap that lasted from 10:00am to 1:30pm! Monday night she fell asleep around 9:15ish and didn't wake up until almost 9:00am Tuesday morning! She slept straight through the night every time!!


Mia had a visit from her "Aunt" Elissa. We both wish she would visit more often. Hint...hint...hint. She also went for a visit to daddy’s office and got to see Papa and Uncle Howey and a visit to her other Uncle Danny's house on Sunday!


Sometimes I really think Mia would like to just completely skip rolling over and crawling and go straight to walking. Whenever she is in her swing, bouncy or car seat, she does this thing where it looks like she’s trying to get up and out of whatever contraption she’s in at the time. Either that or she is doing stomach crunches!



I just love my little stinker. She is such a JOY
