Medicine

Dr. Mia has been running her own clinic ever since her doctor's appointment last week. She's getting pretty good at administering medication. Elmo, according to the little physician, needs quite a lot of monitoring and medicating.



As her gramps noted, though, Elmo does look a little bit frightened. Poor guy.

Happy Days

Lots of very happy days lately.

Here I am sporting the Dutch slippers that Papa and Gogo gave me. I normally won't wear them, but since I heard there was a new Dutch baby in the neighborhood - congratulations Maike and family! - I was happy to get festive with these comfy clogs.









To the left you'll see what I hope will be my first passport photo. I'm getting tired of posing in front of our only white wall for this passport thing!









Here's a nice shot of me looking rather smug and feeling very pleased with myself after I pretended to be utterly exhausted at the Science Museum so that my mom would get me the heck out of a dark museum on a sunny day. What was she thinking?

Though I'm sure nobody who saw me rubbing my eyes at the museum will believe it, I perked up as soon as we walked out the door. We took a nice around city park and said hi to the ducks. I almost got away with a nap free day, but eventually I did give in.






















In other news, I recently became very fond of Corn. He came with Mr. Potato Head ...




I told him I loved him on Friday and then became a little concerned when his arm fell off. Uh oh.



We also got word of Jimmy & Jenny's BIG DAY - I'm talking about it here.



There is so so so much more to say, but these uploads take way too long and a girl's got to get her beauty sleep.

A girl cannot live by legos alone.

I've been a good sport since my parents basically hid all of my other toys, but it's been like a month straight of legos. I dabble in Sesame Street and Dora now and then, so today I got a little sassy with mom...

Patriotism, Singing and Counting

A lot has happened since my last entry. I have been very busy learning new skills. You may need to check out some translation sites in order to follow along with this entry. The Spanish section will be coming at a later date - we're having technical difficulties with a few of my most stellar performances.

Being so famous, I try to keep a very low profile and never leave the side of my secret service (mom, dad, papa, gogo, omi, opa, xochilt, sofia, danny, janel... hopefully johnny will join the ranks soon) when in public. I save most of my dramatics for only my closest friends and family. Below are a few rare glimpses into the secret life of Mia.

You have to admit it... I'm impressive.

I put the "rockin" in New Year's Rockin Eve

So it's New Year's Eve and you've crashed your friends' house for a killer party. In the corner you spy a perfectly good drum set, much better than the pots and pans you rock with at home. What else is there to do but welcome 2009 in with a killer drum/scat solo?

I'm a little tea-pot blowin off steam
If you put me on the heat I don't whistle, I scream

Just try and stay in your seat while you watch this vid. Thanks again to Ellie and Cooper for letting us party at their swank pad. If there was any damage blame Luke and Max, they started the mosh pit.

Finally Some Footware Fashion Sense

After all my earlier not-so-subtle hints about appropriate footware were seemingly ignored, I was beginning to worry that the Boulder Cotton Tops' cotton was not just on the outside of the aging hippie crania.  But, just about the time you're going to give up, they surprise you. And what a surprise -- straight from Valencia.

In spite of being somewhat understated in style and subdued in color, they really are elegant.  I'm hoping Santa comes through with some castanets. 

Mom's all worried that I'll twist an ankle.  Really now!  Does she think I was born last year?  I'll see if I can post a video to show how glamorous they are in full heel-clackin' Flamenco operation.
