As Margaret and I were deciding what to get at Austin Java the other day, Mia was making googly eyes at the guy behind the counter. To be fair, he started it, but what delighted us most is that when she knew that he knew she was watching him she would turn her face into Margaret and then slowly peek back at him and start the whole thing over again. This means our little darling has now expressed bashfulness, or at least faked it to look cute.

Mia’s got two new teeth starting to come in on the bottom part of her mouth. We have no time lapse photography to back us up on this, but I’m pretty sure that these puppies came in over night. They’re visible and out enough to feel. Unlike Zoe’s first choppers, these are a little smoother to the touch. Zoe beat out Mia in the teeth department and hers came in like shark teeth.

We had a great dinner last night at Shady Grove during which Mia sat in a high chair and entertained Kelly and Patrick by gnawing on menus and giving off smiling and quizzical looks to Kelly who has Mia wrapped around her finger. It was great fun with great friends and another good reminder that it’s always best to take babies out in the world with you.

Unfortunately, Mia is suffering from a second cold. We think it was either from the Dr.’s visit or the Travis/Jenny visit, but like last time, she’s happy as ever just stuffy.
