Current Mood: Shocked
Mia is now 46 weeks old! Phew... thats alot of weeks! She is inching ever so close to that big "1 year!" mark! This is my last May weekly blog, we are practically in June already! Wow how time flies.
This week has had its little adventures, good and bad. I will start off with the bad first for a change. Due to what I believe was caused by her teething, Mia's additude quickly changed from her normal chipper/perky self into a whiny/fussy little one. She was becoming alittle more demanding and the one thing she started doing that was hair raising was crying when she got her diaper changed. I am not talking about little cry, I am talking about a full on blow up! She would even start to hyperventalate as you walked her to the changing table as she anticipated the impending diaper change. Each day got worse and worse and at the height of all this it was so bad she would scream that ear piercing cry and insist on rolling over. Diaper changes turned into a chore and literally would take almost 10 mins! It wasn't only me who struggled with her, but Adrian had the same problem too. We tried bribing her with toys, changing her on the bed instead of the changing table, changing her in a different room.. everything! NOTHING seemed to work. This went on for DAYS! and just when I was at wits end... she stopped. She is not back to her normal self and lets me change her without a fuss. What was all that about?!! I dunno... its just Mia being Mia and testing us I guess. Or maybe shes teething because her gums do show signs of two little ones almost ready to poke through.
Ok moving on now to happier things..She got to meet her little friend, Koa this week! We went up to Mona and Brett's house for his 1st birthday in Orange County. She did good on the trip up and back and even with the lack of sleep and naps she did good at the party too. It was so cute to see them together and interact with each other. She even caught the amerous eye of a little boy while there as well. (Hahaha.... it starts already and she isn't even 1 yet! ) Overall the visit was great other than a couple of diaper changes that didn't go so well. We are looking forward to seeing them again real soon.
Another big thing that she did this week is she climbed our stairs! All the way to the very top, and by herself at that! I was close behind her to make sure she didn't tumble backwards and she never did. By the third step she was scaling them like a pro. I would have had the video camera out to capture the moment but it all happened so fast and I didn't want to leave her side, plus I was cheering her on. When she reached the top of the stairs she wasted no time in exploring the upstairs. She crawled all over the place and I eventually had to grab her and take her back downstairs because she was getting into to much trouble and mischief! haha
She finally got her first taste of real people's food this week as well. I finally loosened up a bit and allowed her to eat some home-made beans and rice. Both she loved and ate them all like a big girl! Today I might cook them up for her again to see if she still likes them.... which I think she will.. I mean dispite how light skinned she is.. she IS still Mexican! Its in her blood to love those foods! haha
Thats about it. Other than demanding to be "walked" everywhere now (and just recently graduating to walking with 1 hand!) she is getting along just fine. Well I was woken up extra early this morning and now I am starting to get sleepy, I think I will crawl back into bed for a bit before she wakes up for the day. I think I can get in at least an hour and a half.... at least I hope I can because once she is up.. its go go go go until she goes to bed! haha
