Current mood: adventurous
Happy Friday!!! Here I am again for my weekly blog update on my little Butterfly Princess Mia! This week was a HUGE week for her, between milestones and new things she was officially Baptized as well!
The start of the new "Mia" week was very busy for all of us. We were all getting ready for the big day, Sunday, it was her Baptism. Her Grandpa and Grandma Pizano came down on Sat. to help watch her while Daddy and I finished up some last min. cleaning and preparing. She had fun with them, not only did she force an endless maranthon of "Yo, Gabba Gabba" on them, she showed off all her new skills. Walking with hands, standing alone when letting go of something, attempting to walk between a chair and the couch, and being the eating machine that she is! haha. It was fun. Her Nina, Nino, and cousins all came down that night but she was already snoozing away. The next day was her big day, her Baptism and everyone came down to see her. Her Grandpa and Grandma Santos, Tia Rebeca and her cousins too! It was a great time, dispite little disasters here and there we managed to pull it off. YAY! She looked like a little angel in her dress and was really good in the church, I am so proud of her.
A not so fun thing also happened that weekend of her Baptism. She threw up for the first time. Not baby spitting up, but full on gag throw up. Oh-no! We all think it must have been a hair she swallowed that tickled her throat since she is a human vaccum cleaner when it comes to small things on the carpet. After Nina fed her a popsical she was all better. I am keeping an extra, EXTRA close eye on her now, you never know what she will put in her mouth. For some reason her favorite is my hair! I am so close to just shaving my head so she can stop eating my hair! Haha
A new thing that she started this week was playing more with her little Monkey stand up toy thing-a-ma-giee. She is now using the balls like they were intended to be used. She not only puts them in the spiral part to watch them twist down but she also puts them in the little elephant's ears. They come out the trunk and she puts them in the ears again. Thats a first, since I have been trying to show her how to do it she never seemed interested until she figured it out on her own. Go Mia!
She also stood up from a bent position. She has never been able to do that before with just using her back muscles and arms. She would always just pull herself up to stand but never just stand up. She tries it from sitting on the floor but just can't get it, so she did the next best thing. She crawled to me as I was sitting on the floor. Put her hands on m thigh, lifted her butt in the air, straightened her arms and stood up! I was shocked! She did it one other time yesterday as well.
The other HUGE thing that happened this week is she took her first steps!!! Now I still don't really consider it "walking" yet but she is pretty darn close to it. Earlier this week it was a big deal that she took 1 step successfully but a few days later she took 2! without falling. I couldn't believe it, but I am not to surprised. She loves to walk and whenever you put her down she insists you take her hands and walk her around. She loves it. Though she hasn't been able to take that second step again, she does have that 1 step downpad!
Phew, what a week! So many things going on and so many new things to watch. I am so proud of my little one, everyday is a new adventure. I wonder what today will bring?!?!?
