Current mood: adventurous
Today started alittle different than usual. Its only noon and so much has already happened.
Mia was very cranky last night so she actually went to bed extra early. She was out by 6:30. I thought for sure she would either wake up really early or at least wake up to eat again during the night. To my surprise she didn't even make a sound until 6:30am! Daddy came home from work around that time and I thought maybe... just maybe.. if I give her a bottle she just MIGHT go back to sleep for at least another hour to two hours. So Daddy got her up from bed (he loves greating her after work) and she was in the happiest mood. She even got a treat from Tia Rebeca and cousins Brianna and Natalia. Daddy brought in this tiny little bunny Easter basket filled with treats! She got new hair ribbons and a cute little kitty outfit! a butterfly pig toy and two little Easter eggs one from each other of little cousins. Adrian had stopped by his sisters house before work yesterday to pick up Mia's Easter basket and a dual runner stroller his sister handed down to us. The stroller is really cool, you can sit two little ones in it side by side and its made for running. Its perfect for when we have our second baby.
Anyways back to Mia... so she was all bright eyed and bushy tailed. After opening her Easter basket I took her to the couch and fed her a bottle. Afterwards I put her back to bed, it was about 7am now. She perked right up and started playing and jibber jabbering. I went back to bed hoping she would eventually tire out and go back to sleep. WRONG!!!.... she soon got bored and wanted to get out of her crib so up I went. I took her out and brought her downstairs to start our usually early day. (She usually gets up at 9)
We watched some TV and played with her toys but eventually we BOTH got bored. There wasn't anything on TV, Daddy was asleep upstairs, and there was still tons of time to kill before her next nap. The morning was bright and clear so I decided to take her on an adventure. I have been wanting to take her to see the Emu farm down the road from us for awhile now. Yes, I know we live near an Emu farm.. actually its more like animal farm. They have sheep, goats, llamas, turkeys, and Emu! I discovered it about a year ago when I took a wrong turn going home from work one day. So I packed up Mia, bundled her up since it was still alittle chilly and off we went to walk to the Emu farm.
She sorta enjoyed being out but was tired from being up so early so she wasn't her perk peppy self. It took us about 15mins to finally get to the farm. (I walk slow and was enjoying the fact of being outside). Right away an Emu walked up to us on the fence to check us out. I was all excited for Mia to see her first Emu! We don't have alot of money so we can't afford to take her to the Zoo like I always wanted so this is as best as we could do. Mia just sat in her stroller, casually looked at the enormous monsterous birds, sucked her two fingers as if to say "meh... whats to great about this smelly place?!?!" Sigh... little Mia. I think Mama had more fun looking at the animals than she did. She rather sleep. The only reaction I got from her and the Emu was the time one was taking a drink from a pool of water. Then she chuckled... but then coughed afterwards so it may have just been a cough I don't know. I am hoping she was amused alittle bit. So after a couple of more Emu came to visit and Mia sat there unimpressed I figured it was time to head back home.
On the way back we came across two little baby ground squirrels. They would pop in and out of their holes. Mia didn't care about these cute little creatures either! so we kept on our way home. Alittle past half way home she knocked out in her stroller. Poor little one was beat from being up so early and the walk. Eventually we made it back home and she didn't want to wake up! Once I got her in the house though she came back to life and starting being her perky self. I gave her some breakfast and played with her more. She finally got tired enough for a real nap and I just laid her down.
That is the story of Mia meeting the Emu... I still think I had more fun than she did... ah well maybe we will go again when shes more rested.
