Today my friend Tracie treated us to The Butterfly House!  (I'd like to look into getting a membership, too!)  It was amazing, as there were about 100 times more butterflies out than I've ever seen before!  If anyone is interested in going, March is supposed to be the peak month to visit.  And be sure to wear red and colorful clothing!  I wasn't sure how interested Mia would be, but she really did watch the butterflies flying around her.  It helped that some of them were bigger than the palm of my hand!  Speaking of hands, one particular butterfly encountered a tragic ending in Mia's hand.  The waterfall caught Mia's attention, too.  I took a bunch of pictures, but it's difficult to see the butterflies flying around.  I'm so glad that Tracie invited us and look forward to future fun outings! 

 
 

Time is flying!  Mia is really enjoying her cereal (I can hardly get it to her fast enough!) and moving around much more.  We're expecting a tooth or two anytime now... note the slobber on her jacket.  She also smiles much more readily than before!  She made the cashiers at Dierbergs really giggle today!  It's tricky getting her to smile when she sees the camera out, though.  She loves to watch the dogs and both dogs are often very close by.  She loves to pet them and they don't flinch even when their fur gets caught in her tight fists.  Mia is really curious about just about anything.  I can't wait for some warmer weather so we can enjoy the great outdoors!

Well, at least in one direction!  I must have taken 5 or 6 recordings because I kept praising Mia... and it gets really annoying hearing my voice on the video.  :)  She has rolled from her back to belly a couple of times, too.  It really helps when Maizy is lying near Mia because she just loves petting Maizy.  Forget toys... moving and barking animals are so much more interesting!
