Current mood: exhausted
Mia was a big girl today. Since I have been promising her everyday to take her to the park and I haven't been able to, we decided to treat her out by taking her to the grocery store WinCo. What made this trip more special than previous trips there was, she got to finally use her stroller like a big girl. No more car seat for her. She has been really outgrowing that for some time but we just haven't tried using the stroller without it until today.
She did good in the store, however, she didn't look to comfy and when she got tired she couldn't go to sleep like she can in the car seat. She played very little and let out a few little happy screams but that was about it. She did get to have a new view of the store and people which I think was fun for her to an extent since she loves to study new things around her.
The rest of the day after we got home wasn't so jolly. It was another Ms. Fuss Fuss day and boy did she blow up a few times. When we got home from the store I laid her down for a nap since she was yawning so much and looked really tired at the store. This nap only lasted about 30mins then she woke up and boy the wrath of Mia began! I got her up and all she did was Fuss and cry until I put her back in bed. BIG MISTAKE! She threw the biggest longest fit ever! She screamed and cried for almost an hour straight. She took little 5 min cat naps in between which she is notorious for. When she would wake up she was blow up again. Finally Adrian got her down and we managed to entertain her most of the evening until bedtime. It wasn't easy though. That little girl likes to get into EVERYTHING! and she was in one of those moods where you can't even walk away from her without her crying out. So it was alittle tiring but we got through it. Then bedtime hit. I gave her, her bedtime bath and got her all fed and ready for bed. Just as I was about to pick her up to take her to her room, (she was really drowsy) she decided to spits up all over her nice clean new jammies. Sigh.... so off with the dirty jammies on with the new ones. This woke her right up and she was all playful. I then carried her to her bed and as soon as she saw the bed she blew up again! Sigh... she rolled over in my arms and refused to let me lay her on her back. I gave her her blankey, her kiss goodnight and walked out as she screamed at the top of her lungs. About less than 5 mins later she was out. Phew... what a day. Hopefully she will stay asleep tonight, I could use the rest.

Well I knew it was too good to be true. A few hours later Mia woke up and blew up again! This time she was absoultely nuts! She refused to go back to sleep and she just cried her little heart out. I went in her room to see what was the matter. The only thing I could think of was maybe she was overheated. The day had been unsually hot and all of upstairs was warmer than normal. She was wearing her winter warm jammies (she outgrew all her summer/cooler ones) and she was laying on her warm fuzzy blankey. So I calmed her down.. or at least tried to... changed her into a thinner onesie with no pants. And of course changed her wet diaper, took away her warm blankey and replaced it with a thinner cooler one. This seemed to do the trick, after I got her all settled back in her bed (of course she wasn't happy at all) she finally fell asleep less than 5 mins later. YAY! Another couple of hours later, it was bedtime for me. So I went in and checked on her (what I usually do right before I go to bed everynight) Adrian was with me at the time. Anyways, upstairs did get alittle cooler so Adrian touched her legs and they were slightly cool. So I grabbed her fuzzy blankey and lightly placed it on her. Then I smelled something funny... yep it smelled like Mia had something in her diaper other than her bootie buns! I bent down to check again and *BINK* her eyes opened. Oh-no! But she was all smiles and happy to see us. So I checked her diaper and sure enough there was a surprise in there for me. So I changed her, got her all settled again, and she seemed pretty content, that is until I started to walk out of her room. Then she cried out again. Sigh.. however, I think she was really tired because she ended up playing alittle (after she knew I wasn't coming back) and went to sleep. Phew.. what a night. I went to bed and Adrian took over the Mia watch the rest of the night. I just got her up right now and she is all smiles and is playing in her jump-a-roo. At least someone got their rest here haha
