Current mood: happy
Wow another fun and whirlwind of a weekend... we just had one last week too! We invited her Grandpa and Grandma Pizano over for another visit. It was so much fun last weekend and it went by so fast (especially with all the little running around they did tracking down her princess car replacement) that we decided they just didn't have enough of a "Mia dose" so we asked if they wanted to come back. Of course they jumped at any chance to see her. We also knew that the new upcoming weeks will be so busy they won't be able to come up again anytime soon.
They got here early Saturday morning and of course rushed in to see Mia. She showed off her new outfit and unlike last week she wasn't all unsure and didn't give the cold stare. She warmed up to them right away, especially to Grandma who brought her a surprise, more Special Snackies!!! Yum yum! We all got to visit for a bit and chomp down on some food they brought with them "Miguels" mmmm.....I then cooked Mia her lunch (an omlete, pancakes and some blueberries) Grandpa held her while she ate her pancakes but she ended up putting more on him than in her mouth! At one point she even pulled a piece out of her mouth and quickly tried to shove it in his mouth! YUK!!!!! She didn't want pancakes anymore and once Grandma took her over to fed her, her omlete, Grandpa was literally covered in huge chunks and crumbs of pancake! It was too funny. She ate all neatly with Grandma didn't drop or smear any egg or blueberries! haha
After visiting a bit more and watching our favorite childhood movie (PeeWee's Big Adventure) my parents convinced Adrian and I to go out and see a movie since we didn't get a chance to last week. Again I was alittle hesitant since I hate leaving Mia, but the fact that we haven't been to the movies since "Batman: The Dark Knight" (over a YEAR ago) I realized we were long overdue so we took them up on the offer. After getting Mia's dinner set up for later we went to the mall and actually got to see a movie (District 9) it was a pretty good movie. I still couldn't wait to go home and see Mia again (ya I know I am sooo attached). When we got home she got all excited and quickly greeted us.
Her Grandpa and Grandma said she was a perfect little angel while we were gone. No fussing no whining. They all played and played. Grandma even crawled into her box with her! haha Grandpa wrestled with her and tickled her and everyone had a great time. She was jibber jabbering like crazy and they finally got to see the "Real" Mia. Last week she played but was on the quiet side, however, this week she finally relaxed enough to open up and be herself. It was a real treat for them.
After more chasing her around and having fun she finally started to tucker out and off to bed she went. She went right to sleep.
The next morning everyone but Adrian woke up before Mia!!! Poor thing was so tried from all the fun she had the day before. I had a chance to catch up with my Mom and Dad which was a real treat for me. Then Mia made a tiny noise though the Baby Monitor and my Mama radar kicked off and I got up to go get her. My Dad was amazed how sensitive my Mama radar is since he didn't even ear anything! haha Grandma and I went upstairs to greet Mia. She was happy to see us but still waking up so we brought her downstairs and she cuddled with Grandma while Grandpa tickled her feet. I was making her breakfast at the time. Once I was done it was Grandpa who fed her and she did good. She didn't get much cream of wheat in her hair for once! haha After alittle more visiting and playing we all decided to go out for lunch.
Once everyone was ready we packed up and off we went to Lake Elsinore to a little Mexican food restaurant called "Don Jose's". I LOVE their tortilla soup there and their other food is pretty good too. I had Mia dressed in her cute little summer dress and matching yellow hat and her pink sunglasses. EVERYONE fell in love with her in the restaurant. Even people who were waiting for a table along with us commented on how cute her hat was. Once we were seated we all ordered and Mia got to order from the "Ninos" menu! (A quesidilla and beans and rice) She did great, even without having her normal morning nap. She colored and played and munched on snackies. When the food finally came she dove into her first quesadilla! but after getting stuffed on cheese she didn't want anymore and tried to wear some as a hat. She even chucked a few pieces far behind her and it landed right in the middle of the isle... sigh haha!!! She didn't like the beans. I think she likes Mama's beans better since they aren't refried and are fresh haha. I busted out her emergency avocado from her diaper bag and she had that to top her off. Overall she did great. Once we were ready to go and were packing up I put her hat and glasses back on and right away Grandpa picked her up and said "I need to show off my Granddaughter!" and to everyone's amazement he actually went to every booth across from us and one by one introduced Mia to the customers at the restaurant saying "This is my Granddaughter and I want to show her off" haha It was so cute! Mia of course, with her "dainty hand" out, was looking all cute. All the people got a kick out of it and commented on how cute she was. What a proud Grandpa!
Eventually we all went home and rested a bit. I put on Mia's little San Diego Charger Cheerleader uniform and she went nuts with my old highschool cheerleading pom poms (which also are Charger colors) Her Grandparents melted and of course took TONS of pictures. We all played in the family room for a bit until both Grandpa and Mia tuckered out and they BOTH ended up taking a nap in the guestroom. Mia in her playpen and Grandpa on the bed. It was cute, now that I think about it, I should have taken a picture! Ah well....
After they both woke up it was time to go home..awwwwww. After some long, sad, and reluctant goodbyes they drove back home. We aren't too to sad though since we are planning on driving up to Oxnard next weekend for Mia's big cousin Sarah's 7th birthday!!!! So we will be able to see them again along with her Nina, Nino and cousins! and other family! I can't wait! As for now, its time for me to fix Mia's dinner, dump her in the bath and off to bed she goes, after of course little more play time!
******* UPDATE **********
I just put Mia down after giving her a looooong hot bath and while getting her all ready for bed I decided to check her mouth. She has been very fussy off and on and started up with the drooling again. I wanted to see the progress of her teeth and sure enough I got another little surprise. The tooth next to her front tooth is almost there, it should break through any day, however, she is now a new proud owner of another MOLAR!!!! Wow! That makes 2 for her! This one is on her upper right side! I also noticed her bottom gums near the molar area are also swollen. Poor sweetheart! So I gave her alittle tylonal to help her sleep better and she went right off to bed! Go Mia that makes tooth lucky number 7!
