Mila: 17 weeks old…
Hi there. Our little Mila is now 17 weeks old!
The week started off bright and early. It was Christmas morning after all. Ava told Santa that Mila really wanted a Flounder toy… to match her Ariel request. But guess what? Santa could not find Flounder anywhere… because the movie is a million years old. So Santa thought Nemo would be a good idea. And Mila agreed. (And Ava didn’t say anything about the “mix-up”… until weeks later.)
And what did Mila do during her first Christmas morning? Watch her big sister tear open presents like a pro.
And she waited so patiently too.
Hey! Look at this!! Someone’s first present.
A teething giraffe named Sophie!
Thanks guys!
Then it was off to Barba Frank’s house for Christmas dinner… with baby’s first Christmas bib to catch all of her drool (and red shoes for all 3 of us).
My arms got a break and she got to visit with everyone. Teta Mary is always excited to hold her.
And here is Mila showing off her standing skills with her proud Dida.
After the excitement of Christmas was over, it was time to enjoy the gifts. Reading time with Nona and Ava. Hey, where’s my robe?
Enjoying her rattles.
Especially when Ava shakes them for her. This is the life!
Thanks Ariel!
Oh and look at this milestone. Mila is starting to bend.
My mom mentioned to me that one of the difference between the girls is that the sides of Mila’s lips go down.
Nice Nona. It’s not my fault. My cheeks are HEAVY!
Stop looking. You are making me eat my bottom lip.
Mila got to make play-doh ice cream sundaes with Ava this week.
And had a play date too.
And of course, more pictures with the Christmas tree. Check out that smile!
Yes, she is standing all by herself. I photoshopped arms in the background so other babies wouldn’t feel bad about this super early milestone. 
Oh yeah!
Any guesses where Mila went this week?
She went back to the mountains to sit in her favorite chair…
…and make crazy fart sounds. Her new pastime. Yup, another new milestone.
Her neck folds are still red this week. I try my best to keep ithem dry but look at this drool!
And a walk in the snow = a nap in the carrier.
Hey I want to go outside too! Ummm, you just were outside Miss Sleepyhead!
And before we knew it, it was New Year’s Eve. And I think this face says it all. Hehe. Bye!
