Ladybug Baby

Trunk or Treat was last night at our church. We decorated our trunk with a disco theme. It was a lot of fun, but we kept running out of candy. I couldn't believe how many kids were there. We had about 30 cars there giving out candy, but the kids just kept coming and coming and coming. Some of the church members got some candy from missions inside the church, but it still wasn't enough. They realized that we were going to run out, so they sent someone to buy more. We barely made it to the end of the line. Mia was a big hit. She wore her little ladybug costume. Several kids from the daycare recognized her and wanted to say hello. We also saw some of Mia's teachers there with their kids. We had a great time!

Mia had her nine month appointment with Dr. Curry on Monday. She weighed 19 lb, 12 oz. and was 27 1/2 inches long. This puts her right at 50% for both, so she's average for her age. I must put in the disclaimer that I don't really believe in comparing her to those percentages, but it may help give a perspective as to her size. She got two shots but did well with them. Dr. Curry said she can have just about anything food-wise with a few exceptions as long as the bites are small. He said a good rule of thumb is that if the piece of food easily passes through your wedding band, it is small enough for a nine month old to eat. I tend to cut things smaller than that, but it's good to know. Dr. Curry was pleased with her and said that she's hitting all of her milestones right when she should. We'll go back to see him on her birthday.

Now, a couple of pics from this evening.
Here is Mia while I was busy in the kitchen.
This is her 15 minutes later.
She was laughing and shaking the baby gate.
I guess she just needed to recharge her battery.
