Current mood: happy
Mia was officially introduced to a long time Pizano family tradition... the superbowl! Even if our teams weren't playing or the fact some of us don't really follow football that closely... that all doesn't matter on Superbowl Sunday! We always come together as a family and do something special if we can. Usually due to the distance and it being on a Sunday.. Adrian and I usually can't make it to a family members house and instead spend it together. However, this year my parents got to come down for a visit and we all got to enjoy the game together.
This year it was the Az. Cardinals v. Pitts. Stealers. Though I was born and raised as a Niners fan (yes I know they haven't had a good season in literally decades) the Stealers have always been my second favorite. Mainly due to the fact while growing up my dad and I always watched football together and the Stealers were always his second favorite too. So this year's superbowl would be extra special because the Stealers were playing and were the favored to win.
We all watched the game together and it was a blast. Granted Mia slept through most of the first quarter she was up and playing throughout the rest of the game until the nail biting final 2 mins. Then she decided she had enough of football for oneday and wanted to go to bed. However, she hung in there like a champ and gave the team (Stealers) that little added luck to pull off the win at the last min. Go Mia! All in all, she was such a good girl throughout the game, when she wasn't watching it on Grandpa's lap she was playing with her toys on the floor. At one point she even decided having tons of toys in front of her wasn't enough and dumped out her little toy basket and spread even more toys around her! She was also officially introduced to the yelling and screaming her Mama and Grandpa are notorious for when a football game gets exciting. I can't even begin the describe the look she gave me when I would go nuts over a good play.. it was a across between confusing, amusement, and scared! haha Overall, it was tons of fun!
Like I mentioned before, my parents came down to visit us and of course little Mia. They haven't been to our house since late Oct. so it was a HUGE treat to have them down. They both got to spend alot of time with Mia which they really enjoyed. She was on her very best behavior and didn't even cry once. Well she did once but that was because while sitting up (yes she can be sat up and she stays that way without any support or help now! yay!! (this also started on Sat.)) she leaned to far back and bonked her little head on the carpet. Poor baby! But she toughed up real fast and only cried for a very short time. Anyways, my parents were able to stay for the entire superbowl and we all got to watch together. I cooked up a storm in the kitchen to treat them both to a Cardoso home cooked meal. I made chicken Fajitas, beans, rice, and calabasas. Earlier Adrian and stopped by the store and stocked up on all kinds of treats as well. Overall, the visit was great. My dad is in the process of backing up some old home 8MM and VHS tapes and converting them to DVD. So he brought some videos with him. Some were of me while playing t-ball when I was 6 and some dated back to before I was a year old!!! It was amazing to see the resemblance of Mia and myself in some of the videos! It was great seeing my brother and myself as kids again and going nuts. It sure brought back alot of fond memories. Anyways, back to Mia. Both my parents got to feed her, her veggies and cereal and they couldn't get over how big she has gotten. Initially it took her some time to warm up to them, but after awhile she was smiling and being her ol' happy Mia self again. I have also been practicing with her, on how to sit up straight on the floor. She would only do it for a short time before falling over HOWEVER she waited until my parents were down to really show off. Now if you sit her down she stays like that and can even lean over and grab a toy, sit back up and play with it! What a big girl! I am so proud of her.
Well the little one is up, I just wanted to write alittle about this past weekend and share some stories of my baby girl!
