Happy 9 Month Birthday Mia!!

Life around the Alexander Household has been getting much more hectic as Mia becomes more mobile. Mia is crawling with extreme speed and constantly cruising around the furniture. She is so steady on her feet and able to get up and down with such ease that Dan and I decided we should start to give her a challenge. For Mia's 9 month birthday, we bought her a push toy to help her start working on her walking and she is doing great so far. The first time she gave it a try, she pushed the toy ahead and then hopped on both feet behind it. She is now walking behind it and is so proud. I will try to post some video of her walking! I am thinking she'll probably be walking on her own by Christmas time!!

Along with Mia's increased mobility, a constant power struggle between Mia and Xena has developed. Mia has been chasing Xena around the house, always trying to catch Xena's tail. When Mia's not interested in Xena, Xena will do everything she can to get Mia's attention! Dan and I are constantly breaking the two of them up...very tiring! Hey Roger, after 5 years, are you ready to take your cat back??? Just kidding, Dan would be devastated to get rid of Xena, they are great friends!

That means she'll be a PRO by the wedding....as soon as she's walking on her own, she and Dylan will have to hold rehearsal.
