Between working and taking care of Mio, it’s hard to find time to upload all the photos and videos that we take of her. Our precious little girl is 19 weeks old as of last Saturday; here are some pictures and video footage from this past week…

Mio likes to be upright and push her feet against the floor, so we recently got a doorway jumper so she could jump up and down in it. Great exercise for the legs!

Feet firmly planted!
Feet firmly planted! Are you ready to stand up on your own soon?

twisting around to look at Mommy
The jumper can turn, but she likes to twist her neck around so she can look at Mommy and Daddy.

getting tired...
When she gets tired, she starts slouching and sucking on the tray... lol.

doing pushups in her crib
Mio can keep her head and shoulders off the ground for long periods of time now. Here she is doing pushups in her crib. Not ready to go to bed yet!

 

I had web conference to attend on Saturday, so Dan and Mio drove over to San Lorenzo to spend the day with the grandparents! Dan took these photos and video:

With Grandpa and Grandma!

Looks like she had a great time, as always, with her grandparents! πŸ™‚

You can see her squeals and laughter in the following video, where we have some fun with Hello Kitty:

Our little Mio is growing up so fast, she’s making our heads spin! We have to remember to stop and cherish each of these moments and hold her close, because before we know it, she won’t want to be held anymore….
