Current mood: accomplished
Good Morning and Happy Friday everyone. Its that time of week again for Mia's weekly blog. I have been doing this for so long you would think I would run out of things to say or write about, but leave it to Mia, who is always on a constant adventure, she always creates new stories to tell. This week is no exception.
The week didn't start off to good. I had to take my final blood test to make sure that my pregnancy levels are down if not gone and that kind of put a damper on my mood. I was really bummed out until Mia and Adrian came to rescue! As soon as I came back from the lab they took me out and treated me like a Queen. We went shopping and Mia even let us put all kinds of Halloween Costumes on her at the store. We got to go to Coffee Bean to get one of my favorite drinks of all time, Chai Tea Latte. While there, Mia got to try her very first Pure Chocolate Ice Blended (Daddy's drink of course) and she loved it! Infact she did everything she could to get more after we took it away, even resorting to licking the side of the cup to get anything she could from it. Silly girl. After whipped cream was all over her face and Daddy did she finally calm down. It was a great day and they both sure perked me up.
Adrian and I also celebrated our 11 year anniversary of being together, with Mia!!! I couldn't think of a better way to spend the day than with my little family. We went to the mall and found Mia's Halloween Costume. She is going to be Tinkerbell!!! She also got to walk around the mall holding Daddy's hand and she did really well until she wanted to bust loose and run!!! We went to Macy's and we let her run free and boy she was EVERYWHERE!!! That little girl can go non-stop! Eventually I was the one who pooped out and I had to put her back in her stroller! haha
We made a trip to San Diego this past weekend as well. It was her Grandma Santos' birthday and what better present to give her than a Mia visit!!! She recently had neck surgery so she is currently staying at Adrian's Grandma so we went to her house. It was fun seeing the family again and Mia went nuts exploring their backyard. She even got to meet her very first ferret!!! She thought it was a kitty and smiled at it alot!
The weather actually got cool one day and we took advantage of it real fast. I took Mia across the street to the park to run around and she had a blast. She picked plants, found leaves and just walked.. walked... walked!! ALL over the place. I can't wait to take her back.
Mia also found her nose this week! After showing her for a long time she eventually showed us that she was listening all along and pointed to her nose when we asked her to. It was so cute! Next we started working with her on finding her ear... BAD IDEA! though she seemed to get her nose down pad ever since we incorporated her ear she always points to it now even when we ask her to point to her nose... sigh MIA!! haha
I have been listening more carefully to her baby talk since I am concerns she stopped saying words she knows. I realized something, all that jibberish isn't all jibberish after all. Some of it is actual works just missing a letter or two. I recognized her trying to say "Gabba" whenever I ask her if she wants to see it. She says "aaa-ba" She can't pronounce her G's yet but I know its Gabba since she only says it when we are referring to it or talking about it. Another word is "Ball" she will find one of her balls and say "Bbb-a" its similar to Gabba but you can notice the difference. She is saying "Agua" alot more now but saying "Hat" is a thing of the past. I am sad because I used to love hearing her say Hat Hat Hat all over the house.
Mia has also learned how to do a not so good thing. Gag herself. She is teething pretty bad and her molars are coming in, infact I noticed another one on the brink of breaking through on the bottom. With that I know they bother her and itch her, so she is constantly sticking her fingers... actually her hand down her throat and gagging herself. Its really tiresome to fight her to stop doing that. I am afraid that she will make herself throw up and I HATE that. Whenever she starts getting on a roll with that I pin her down and put some baby orajel in her mouth (not an easy task since she bites HARD) and that usually clears it up for a short while. I can't wait till this phase is over or until her molars finally grow out!
I bought her, her very first Barbie yesterday and she seems alittle interested in it. She will carry it around for abit before throwing it on the ground and finding something better to play with.
I also finally took her bumper padding out of her crib yesterday. I was getting tired of putting it on and off whenever I washed her sheets. It was a HUGE hassle since you had to tie every little tie back on the crib. I kept it in there so long because she is a crazy sleeper and I was afraid she would hit herself or hurt herself on the bare bars. However, yesterday I had enough with messing with the bumper and just left it off. I also added a pillow to her crib. She sleeps with a pillow in her playpen for naps so I thought why not the crib. After putting her to bed last night everything seemed ok. I heard a couple of little bangs but nothing big. When I went to check on her before I went to bed I was surprised to actually see her using the pillow!!! It was so cute!!! The night went great and she never got hurt or cried.. YAY! My little Mia such a big girl!!! The only thing I miss about having the bumper on is, she can now see you sneaking into her room!! Uh-oh!
Thats about it. The week has been good and I can't wait for tomorrow. Her friend Abby is having her 1st birthday party in San Diego at the park and I can't wait to see how Mia will do at the party!! I am sure I will have lots to write about!!!
