She's one...for real! It's been such an incredible year. Mia's saying so much now! She says Ma!, Da-da, Nee-Nee, Pop-pop, Ma-ma, Pa-pa, Bubba, please (pease), this (dis), that (dat), toes, teeth, NO, Nate (nay), chair, go, ball, juice, bop (for balloon), uh-oh, down, want dat (thanks, Levi!!) baby, and ooh...that's all I can't think of right now. 
Just after I blogged last time (8-4) she stood for 30 seconds without support. Just a few days ago (9-4) Mia took her first step while Daddy was with her. Today while we were both here, Mia took 5 consecutive steps with a giant smile!! So incredible. She must know how proud we are of her! It won't be long!! Once she figures out that she can go, she will and won't stop!!
The day after her birthday we stopped using bottles completely! So fast! We had 2 nights of transition, but after that, she caught on, and we were done with them. She has been on whole milk since a few days before her birthday, and there have been no major issues.
Yesterday (Friday 9-5) Mommy and Daddy went to the doctor's with her and she weighs 21 lbs 5 oz (53rd%) and she is 29.75 inches long (75th%).
On Sunday the 31st we had Miss Mia's first b-day party. So much fun!! It took her a bit, but she ate just about her whole cupcake!! Didn't get the presents thing...but she had a great time.
On her real b-day, Mia got the best present! A new baby cousin. Toby was born at 9:36 in the morning after a nice and quick labor. Kristy might not say it was nice, but after only 3 hours from the first contraction he was here, 8 lbs even and over 20 inches long. What a cutie...he actually looks like his Momma~
So awesome!!! We just can't even begin to count the blessings that have come to be over the past year! GOD IS SO AMAZING. His blessings are so rich and full and I've felt so overwhelmed by it...it's crazy to step back and realize how much has been given and how none of it is deserved. So blessed.
