Current mood: adventurous
Today was a special day for the three of us! Today Lil' Miss Mia got to go to one of her Mama and Daddy's favorite restaurants, Red Robin! They opened a Red Robin about 5miles from the house, back in October, and we have been waiting for Mia to get big enough so we can take her there. Adrian and I have been there once before soon after it's grand opening but Mia was at home being babysat by her Grandpa and Grandma Pizano while they were down visiting. We figured since she did so good at Pat & Oscars, that she might do well in a real restaurant. So it was off to Red Robin for us!
It was pretty busy and noisey but that didn't detour Mia from expressing herself once she got comfortable with her environment. She let out her new found, high pitched scream and started making all sorts of noises. They had free balloons everywhere so Daddy gave her a pink one to play with. She went NUTS with it, shaking it all around and watching it bob up and down. Everyone who saw her said "awwww" and we just beamed with pride. We had a booth and it was set up in a way that you could put the car seat right into the space between the table and the booth. The car seat sat there perfectly so she was at table level and was able to still look around and more importantly, she could still see us. It was also funny to watch ....Adrian.... jump up every time she moved, because he was convinced she was falling haha what a protective Daddy!
After playing for awhile she finally decided to take a nap. With her classic "two fingers in her mouth" and "rubbing her blankey softly on her face" she knocked out even with all the noise and people. She stayed asleep until we had to leave and even then it took awhile before she woke up.
We then went next door to the AT&T store to check out a new phone plan for ....Adrian..... She just sat there in her seat and looked around. Then we went out to the car. It was really windy and then it happened..... her little pink balloon flew away before ....Adrian.... or I could grab it! I felt bad...I remembered how sad I would get when my balloon would fly away when I was a kid. So I went back to Red Robin and got her a new pink balloon so she could play with it at home.
We buckled her in and off to home we went. Now she is playing on her play rug with her Daddy. She is laughing, singing and talking to her toys, its really cute to listen to. What a joy she is, we have so much fun with her. I can't wait to take her on more adventures!
