Started with two of us - Matt and Haoyue on March 23, 2004. Then our first son Aiden was born on March 11, 2009 and our daughter Mia was born on November 21, 2011. This blog is our way to keep family and friends updated about our family of four.

9-Month Old Mia

Time flies so FAST with two kids. Mia had her 9-month check up on the day she turned 9 months. She is a BIG girl,  measures 30.75 inches (99%), weighs 21 lbs 2.4oz (89%). She is 0.25 inches taller and 1 lbs heavier than Aiden at 12 months.

1. Physical development.  She has been trying to take off to crawl. But one of her leg always gets stuck and she couldn't figure out how to get it out. She loves to stand by holding to us or furniture and she can also stand by herself without any support for about 30 seconds. 
2. Feeding. She takes 4 bottles a day for about 19 oz total and takes 2-3 solids. She can feed herself cracker, bread. She can pick up cheerios but when it fells into her palm, she can't figure out how to get them out. We are also trying to get her to use sippy cup. But overall, she is a great eater and eats pretty much everything we feed her. 
3. Sleep. She is a champion when it comes to sleep. She sleeps about 11 hours straight at night and takes about 2 naps for about 3 hours total. 
4. Social development. She has pretty strong stranger anxiety since she was around 5 months old. She usually does fine with stranger if she is at home. But if she goes to strange place to see strangers, that usually takes her a while to get used to it. She still loves to watch Aiden play and sometimes imitate his movements. 

Overall, she has been a very healthy and easy baby. 

P.S. Mommy took her for 9-month portrait. We were only able to get a handful pictures before she started crying at photographers. But the pictures are still cute.
