long weekend

Mia has found two new best friends -- her hands! She has been putting them together, putting them in her mouth ( making a funny face when she does, they must not taste too good) and she has begun to bat at objects (pulling mommy's hair and daddy's chest hair too). She has been a busy little peanut. Friday, grandma came for the day and we took her out for her first lunch! We went to Fresh Starts, she slept for the entire lunch except at the end she woke up a little bit so we headed home. Saturday, daddy and I took her on the Metra train for an afternoon downtown. We met up with daddy's cousins Kathy and Tony, had a hot dog by the bean, walked around, had coffee at Intelligensia then we took Mia for her first shopping spree at Lohman's! Mommy and her each bought something!
Sunday was the first night that she only woke up once! We put her down in her crib at 8:30 pm, she woke up briefly for mommy at 1:30 to nurse and she went right back to sleep! Then she woke up at 5:30! What a good baby. Let's hope she continues this trend. The trick is, getting her to nap during the day so that she sleeps good at night!
