Current mood: awake
Yep, its Friday again, and Mia puts another week under her baby belt. Things went pretty uneventful this week, especially when compared to the week before when Mia went to Oxnard for Thanksgiving. I think she needed some time off. However, this week isn't without some stories!
She is doing a couple of new funny things. One being, every morning now when I get her up for the day I find her in a new strange position in her crib. I lay her down the same way every night but in the morning she’s either all smashed up in the corner, totally upside town, or on her tummy. What a wiggle worm! I think she takes after Mama with that. Her favorite thing to do is to touch soft things so I often times catch her taking her fuzzy pink blankey or green Pooh blankey and gently rubbing her nose with it. It’s really cute, she puts herself to sleep that way.
The other funny thing, is she’s started to do her "evil Mia voice". I have no idea why she’s doing this now, but its kinda scary! haha. She sucks in air and makes a mean face, almost like she’s hissing! I caught her doing this on a video and even Adrian said "Oh my gosh she looks evil!" but she likes doing it and gets a kick out of it.
She’s loving her jump-a-roo more than ever now and she can finally jump unassisted since she can finally touch the ground!!! She goes completely nuts in it and its way to cute to watch. She jumps on her tippy toes, throws her hands in the air, and jumps over and over! She loves making the toys rattle, and whole thing crash up and down. She often stays in there for 30 mins on end just jump jump jumping till she tires herself out and goes down for a nap.
The formula change is finally getting better. Since we switched to soy she has stopped throwing up as much. Now she throws up only when Adrian and I play with her to much after she eats! She’s splattered us both on that haha ewww. The only concern we had was the fact she wasn't pooping right. Either they would be hard little nuggets or wouldn't go at all!!!! Earlier this week she FINALLY started going a little bit normal, but its still very little. We might be switching her again, but maybe to another brand. Possibly "Good Start" only because she isn't going like she used to. We will see how it goes.
Her teeth still bother her somewhat, but the orajel seems to be keeping the pain at bay. She actually lets me put it in her mouth but still makes the grossed out face afterwards. Maybe I will try to capture that on the camera sometime.
Her eczema still comes and goes. Recently she broke out again on her forehead, and this time it was really itchy for her. I know because she kept scratching her forehead till it bled =( Poor baby. I finally put some cortisone on it and the irritation seemed to have gone away, hopefully her scratches will too.
Well on a side note, this week did have a few unexpected and unfortunately things to have happen. Luckily, now that I have little Mia to brighten up my day... I don't find myself getting as down as I used to. This week my Aunt had major surgery to remove some breast cancer and that was stressful and scary for all of us. Luckily everything went well and she is recovering great! Then they had massive layoffs sweep thru Adrian job, and for two days we were uncertain Adrian would have a job! Talk about stressful and scary!!!! Thank God, he was untouched by the layoffs but we did hear about many of the people we both knew well, get laid off. Its a very sad time in that respect. But Adrian being safe is relieving.. however, there is rumor there will be more lay offs in Jan. I hope its just that a rumor but we will see. Then, poor Princess Mew Mew snuck outside without either of us noticing and she was left outside over night!!!! She has never been outside and unfortunately got into a cat fight with the neighbor’s cat and got beat up pretty bad. Fur was all over the backyard and when we found her, she was bleeding and limping. Poor baby.... she’s finally getting better now and her wounds are healing great. What a week, but like I mentioned before, having little Mia brighten up my day every day, really helped keep the stress and worry at bay. I love my little Angel.
Uh-oh Mia is calling me... I have to cut this short. Well overall the week has gone by really well. I can't wait till the up coming week, we will try to take her to meet Santa!! YAY! I will see how that goes!
