Current mood: tired
I can't believe I almost forgot to write her "Friday" blog today! I know I know, bad Mama! I just got swept up with things that I even forgot today was even Friday.
Well now that I remembered I can go on about the new things, milestones, and visits she had this week!
The week started off good. We went to San Diego for her cousin's 1st birthday so she got to see her Cardoso family again. Always a treat. She got to see her Grandparents Santos and their cute kitties. I wrote about all this a few times now so I won't go too much into it. So as you know she hit her first Pinata and licked her first candies.
She is starting to stand so much better now. And thats ALL she seems to want to do now. If you try to put her on her butt she will scream and cry. She can't stand by herself just yet but she tries too. She will hold on to the edge of her baby jail/octogon, couch, toys or anything and she will slowly lift one hand, balancing herself with the other. I have even seen her try to let go of that hand to but she starts to fall and quickly grabs on to anything she was holding on to. But the HUGE thing that happened this week is she pulled herself all the way up to the standing position all by herself! Thats right, I found her standing in her crib one morning while holding on to the side. I have no idea how she did it, since she hasn't done it again, but today I did see her try alittle.
Another new thing she finally learned how to do is sit on her butt all by herself from the crawling position. She used to try so hard but she never seemed to be able to get herself to sit up. Now she sits up like a pro! She even pulls herself up now and sits on her feet!
Just today she also took her first steps! No no no not walking yet, but she moved her feet in that motion. For Mia thats a big deal since she rarely ever moves her feet while standing. They are always stiff. However, today (while I was cooking and out of the room, and Adrian was watching her) she moved her two feet. Adrian quickly called out to me to come see but I missed it =( He said he put her in her octogon standing up while she held on to the side. Her legs were kind of farther back than usual and thats when she moved one foot closer to the side of the octogan, then the other! Daddy was all excieted and so was I, I just wish I got to see it. I am sure she will do it again. I am just shocked how fast shes picking things up like that. She just started standing not too long ago and now shes moving her feet in a walking way! I think she will start walking in a couple of months for sure, at her pace.
Lets see what else... well her and Daddy got to spend some quality time together this week as well. Just hanging out and playing. She is also saying "da-da" alot more and actually says it more than Ma-ma anymore. Which is sad for me but makes Adrian ultra happy haha. I don't mind though, she still says Mama once in awhile, I guess its his turn now.
She also turned 8 months old this month! She is creeping closer to those double didgets and even her 1year birthday! YIKES Mia slow down!!!Well thats about it for the week. It sure flew by fast! Not sure of our plans this weekend but I am sure we will find something fun to do, with Mia that isn't hard to do.
