Current mood: tired
We planned on going down to San Diego today to visit Adrian's Mom (who just had neck surgery and is currently staying at his Grandma's house) for her birthday. So after Mia got a good nap in we left on our trip.
The drive went well until we hit about 25 miles from our destination. Its almost notorious, Mia always ends up having "enough car ride for one toddler" moment and blows up. It always happens around the Terrisanta turn off, off the 15 freeway. Today was no exception, but we think it was because the sun was in her face.. poor baby we really need to get my car windows tinted. She didn't scream and cry but more like got whiny and fussy. So we had to deal with that until we got to Grandma's house. Once we got there she perked right up and was her happy self again... until we got inside the house.
Mia is not a very shy baby, infact she loves strangers, stores and the mall however for some reason she freezes up when shes in a new house. She won't walk and just stands there and sometimes gets clingy to Adrian or myself. She did this again in front of everyone. She just stood there shocked. It took awhile before she warmed up but she eventually did like she always does. She said hi to Grandma and Great Grandma, Tia Eva, Tia Terri, Cousin Robert and his soon to be wife (18 weeks pregnant with her upcoming new cousin) Cherilyn.
Mia was actually on her good behavior too, she really didn't get into to much trouble. She left Great Grandma's picture frames and crystal alone which I was happy with. She played in the back yard for a bit, exploring with Daddy, and she ate some dinner. The visit was alot of fun and went really well. The only time there was a problem is when she accidentally smashed her tiny little fingers in the door. She kept opening it and slamming it (her favorite thing to do) and eventually she caught her tiny fingers in the door. She was ok though, after a good cry she snapped right out of it and then got to visit a new addition to the family. A pet ferret! That little guy errr... girl? was too adorable! Robert let the ferret out and it bounced around off the ground it was the cutest thing ever. Mia kept smiling every time we called it a "kitty" haha Later Mia got to meet one of Adrian's long time friends, Ali. I met Ali around the same time I met Adrian so its been YEARS since I've seen him. It was fun catching up and he kept commenting how cute Mia was. Overall the visit was great... later we said our goodbyes and off to home we went. Mia knocked out right away and didn't wake up until we were nearing our freeway exit home.
Once we got home I gave her some milk and she watched a Gabba episode with Daddy then it was off to bed. She went right down and now I am here writing this. I have a huge headache so I am going to end it here. I am really tired. I have TONS of pictures to upload.. I am falling so behind in that, hopefully I will get them up soon.
