Current mood: adventurous
Yesterday was Mia's first St. Patrick's Day. I know, I know we aren't Irish but I love Shamrocks anyways. We have been alittle tight on money lately so I wasn't able to buy her any St. Patty's day things (Especially when Easter around the corner) so instead, I dressed her up in the only green top she had (a hand me down from Cousin April! thank you!) her green bib, and I found her giant Green Bow! I took some pictures but really felt something was missing... yep she had no shamrocks! So I ran off to Walgreens hoping to find something with a Shamrock on it on Clearance but unfortunately they had nothing. Sigh... I wasn't going to have Mia without a Shamrock so I went home, found a picture of one and printed it out. I cut two of them out and taped it to her little bumble bee antenas from Halloween, and ta-da! Shamrock dingle balls! I took some pictures of her with them and she liked them. Though she kept trying to touch them in all the pictures she left them on. At one point she thought it was a game, because everytime she touched them I would quickly said "no no no" and move her hand away, she of course busted up laughing and did it again! Haha Little Mia Girl!
On a new subject, she was a big girl today!!! She did another first time thing. We went shopping at Babies R Us and sat in the cart like a big girl! Right in the front! Heres what happened, and why. Adrian was still sleeping and we really needed to stock up on baby supplies. I knew Babies R Us stalk up their inventory on Wednesday so off to the store we went, bright and early. With all the stuff on the shopping list, I knew there was no way I would be able to push her stroller and a cart, and we needed so much that I couldn't put her car seat in the basket sooo she graduated to sitting in the big kid part of the cart!!! I wasn't sure how she would act to it, especially since she wasn't to keen when we put her in the big girl part of the stroller, but she did great! Infact she got a kick out of it! She loved looking at all the people, and especially babies. She would smile at everyone and talk and babble. She was holding her little kitty for comfort the whole time, but she seemed to really enjoy herself. She even picked out her Easter Dress!!!! I went down the dress isle and was browsing when I came across a cute little poofy pink dress. I liked it alot but it was $24! I did have a 15% coupon but still I wasn't sure so I put it back. Then Mia let go of her kitty! and reached over and started to grab a dress! I looked and it was the same kind of dress I just put back! She never tried to grab anything the whole time we were at the store, so I took it as she liked it and wanted it. So I bought it for her! hehe So after spending a wopping $200! (all on necessities.. the diapers and formula alone were $130!) we were off to go back home again.
Phew what an adventure. We both had tons of fun and I can't wait to take her shopping again!
