I hope I don't jinx it, but another advantage of having a child early is getting her to be a flower girl in a lot of weddings. Either Karl and I have a lot of friends, or people don't know anyone with kids at flower girl age, but I think Mia has kinda hit a pretty good quota on weddings.
These are her flower girl stints so far:
1. The first one was in Chicago! How social! If you squint, you can see in the background, it says The Chicago School. Yes, she was a tiny munchkin then and yes, pat on mommy's back for surviving the long haul flight with a toddler. She was less than 2 years old. It was in June but the weather was pretty cool so she was all bundled up in the picture taking.
