Current Mood: Tired
Good Morning everyone and happy Friday! Its that time again, and since my new little one decided to get me out of be at 6am for a snack and I can no longer go back to bed, I decided to write Mia's little blog early!
This was definitely one interesting week! It started off with EASTER!! Yay!!! Well a couple of days before Easter that is. Mia got to color eggs again this year but instead of using dye she used washable markers. Of course she was all colored up by the end but it all came out in the bath. She loves her baths, and since the doctor put me on lifting restriction its been Daddy who has had the pleasure in giving them to her. She even knows what it is too! If you ask her if she wants a bath she will get all excited, say "bath! bath!" Run upstairs, and then starts to put her bath toys in the tub. Bath time was our saving grace after the egg coloring because once we put the stuff away she had a HUGE GI-NORMUS tantrum. The only thing that made her stop was the bath.
On Easter Day she was able to find her own Easter basket that was hidden on her bed. She loved to play with all the little goodies inside. After that she went egg hunting in our front yard! Later that day we went down to San Diego and spent time with Adrian's side of the family. She got to play with all her little cousins again AND got to play with the giant swing set they have. Of course she went on another egg hunt and found so many eggs that her basket was literally over flowing! The other interesting thing that happened that day was Mia got to experience her first real BIG earthquake. It registered at 7.2 so it wasn't anything to sneeze at. Mia of course, could care less during the earthquake and was more interested in opening her little plastic eggs to get the candy hidden inside.
Mia has not slept in her crib in over a week!!! She is doing so well adjusting to her big girl bed. She has not fallen off since the first night. So we decided to graduate her to the next level. We added her box spring under her mattress. This has raised the bed somewhat but she likes it. She bounces around on the bed now and has yet to fall off.... yet. Not sure when the transition will be fully complete and we add the bed frame. That probably won't be for awhile.. I am still too nervous. Ya, ya I am a paranoid Mama. Maybe I am so nervous because I was notorious for always falling out of my bed as a kid... infact I still remember those days.
Mia also got to come with us to her very first baby sibling doctor's appointment. I was a big nervous on how she would act but she was on her very best behavior and we had no problems at all. Infact she had fun playing with their little toy they had in the office and she got to meet the OB that saw us all throughout her pregnancy again.
One big lesson I learned this week was, do not feed Mia any mangoes before naptime. Yesterday, naptime was a total disaster. As soon as she got in her room she went completely insane! Jumping on her bed, belly flopping and climbing all over me. She was laughing and screaming and just going nuts!!! Even when I recruited Adrian's help he couldn't calm her down. She just went bonkers. The only thing we could come up with for the reason was the mango!!! So no more Mangoes before naptime!!!
Thats about it for the week. This weekend is going to be another fun one in San Diego. We are going to her cousin Emily's 6th birthday so I am sure I will have more stories to share. As for now I am going to see if I can get some more rest before the little Mia monster wakes up!
