the entertainer

what did we ever do for entertainment before mia came along? can i just tell you how smart my daughter is?

things that mia can do...
when you ask her where she was born, she says "india".
she knows her eyes, ears, nose, hair, tongue, teeth, knees, toes, chin, fingers, tummy and belly button.
on command she can, cry, laugh, be sad, be shy, and get angry - watch out hollywood!
she knows everything around the house and even tries to help me clean.
she also knows her animal sounds - a lion, cow, owl, doggie, cat, horse, turkey and baby chicks.
she knows who loves her: she says momma, dada, gramma, grampa, boo (uncle), hiley (aunt), nanna, pappa, danna (aunt), eddie (uncle), jason (cousin), sarah, chuck, aunt mimi (great aunt), g.g. (great gramma), paw (great grampa), she trying to say davie (great uncle) - we'll get there. she tries to say just about everything else.
she says thank you, please, waves and yells "HI" to every passing stranger in the stores & restaurants...and best of all...she says "i love you".
she does so much more and i'm sure i'll think of more later, but needless to say, we think she's a genius!

here are a few pics from the past few weeks...warning...beware of the vicious lion...

I love all the pictures you posted and reading about Mia! She is sooo cute...Always smiling it seems!

She seems to know a whole lot more than Bhavishya in terms of words and sounds and she is what 9 months younger!?!

Well, I guess the issues are...she spoke (baby)Tamil when we first had her and now we are raising her as a bilingual child (I speak French to her and Mark speaks English to her and we all speak English together en famille).

Bhavishya is also always keen to help with the house work. Vaccuming, mopping, scrubbing, folding laundry... This afternoon she wanted to use the high pressure hose to clean the Drive way and she cried her eyes out when I said no as I thought it was too dangerous! I guess if she could she would cook, carve the meat, fillet the fish etc.!
LOL

She is always so keen to help. She is getting more and more comfortable thus behaving like a typical toddler which is exhausting! HA ha ha!

I must admit, I always love seeing Mia's progress; it is such a joy to see our Children happy & healthy.

Please continue with those posts...I love reading them!

Thank you for sharing and here is a big hug from Luxembourg ;-)
