I can't decide between the two "pictures of the week" so I decided to post both! haha
Current Mood: Tired
Happy Friday Everyone! Actually, happy Black Friday! Its the Day after Thanksgiving and even as I type this at 9:30am Adrian is out shopping at Target. We are hoping to get this talking princess kitchen set for Mia and its on sale right now! Cross your fingers we can get it for her!
This week was HUGE for little Mia. The main event was she went poopies in the potty for the first time!! WOW! A couple of days following that she went again but this time had a tiny accident, the poopie ended up on the floor but hey its a start... well so I thought. She hasn't gone again and now pooping has become an issue for her. She no longer wants to do it in her diaper OR the potty! Uh-Oh so we will see how that all plays out. So far the last time she went poopies was in her diaper but shes been skipping days now, something she never does. She is clock work regular so I am a bit concerned she might forcefully be holding it. We will see what the future week holds for us with regards to this.
Its been a rough week for me with being tired. Some days I am nearly unfunctional and Mia doesn't like this. She loves to play games with her Mama in the morning. I usually play toys with her. Her favorite are these two little dinosaurs and we make them "roar" and chase each other. We also watch TV together and cuddle on the couch, well that is until Alex needs me. Sometimes shes ok with me taking care of him other times shes gets upset that he takes away from our little time together. I am still working out my nitch in that department.
Mia is also obsessed with drawing right now. Since it was Thanksgiving week, I tried to make "Turkey hands" with her. It didn't go to well but now Mia calls drawing "Turkey hands" haha she always has a pen or crayon handy and we have paper all over the house with scribbles on it. I don't mind though it does keep her occupied for a long while and this gives me time to feed Alex or tend to him.
She is also warming up to her brother more and interacting with them. He will periodically check on him if hes sleeping and make sure hes covered in his blanket, she will try to give him his binky if it falls out and refuses to let me let him cry. She will insist that I hold baby until he stops and if I try to leave the room while hes crying she will throw a fit and make me go back and "help baby". She loves her little brother! Earlier in the week she accidentally poked his eye and when I scolded her she got all heart broken. She thought she hurt baby and I had to reassure her that he was ok. Isn't that priceless! Another thing shes really getting into is taking care of her own little baby. A doll she carries around and takes care of. Just yesterday she was checking her baby to see if he went poopies and pretended to change his diaper. She is such a little Mama already!
She also went out shopping with Daddy this week but what really made it special is that they ate at a restaurant for the first time, just the two of them. It was Rosa's Cafe in Temecula and she had lots of fun. She ate lots of food and watched the little kid run around near her. She really wanted to join them but couldn't. She did good though, when she came home she told me all about "Rosa's Cafe" and eating her "tee-tee and cheese" aka quesadilla.
We also celebrated our little Thanksgiving this week. I cooked up the turkey and fixings and she liked it! She ate TONS of my turkey and got mad when we eventually had to put it away in the fridge. She wanted more turkey! She also ate my stuffing and liked it. What impressed me the most, however, is when we were taking family pictures in front of the turkey, she did so well! She looked at the camera and everything! She actually liked how I could put it on the self timer and we could all take a picture together.
The next day on the official Thanksgiving Holiday, her and Daddy went off to San Diego to see her Cardoso Family. I stayed home with Alex since he is still too young to travel that far. She had a blast down there with her cousins and family and when she came home she was knocked out and didn't wake up again. You know she had tons of fun... and sweets! haha
Well I have to cut this a bit short, Mia is awake and now Alex is stirring time to start my crazy morning!
