Current Mood: Exhausted
Good Morning Everyone! Burrrr.... it's another cold cold morning. My fingers feel frozen, hopefully I will still be able to type. I would wait until a bit later when it warms up a bit to type this, but with Alex and Mia my mornings, afternoons and nights are such wild cards I might not be able to get to it, so here I am!
This month has literally flown by so fast. I can't believe we are already in December and fast approaching 2011! The year Mia turns 3! I still can't believe that, but she is growing and changing so much anyway that she looks like shes approaching 5! haha Even Santa thought she was already three! But shes still my little baby and I do still baby her sometimes.... if shes lets me.
Lots happened this month from visits, to visitors, holidays and trips out. Yep, Mia has been very busy lately but she loves every min of it. I never seen anyone enjoy her day as much as Mia. She has so much fun she never wants to sleep! haha
Well my Mama timer is ticking and my little ones will be up soon so I have to get started on her summary...
SUMMARY:
Mia's myspace account is no longer being updated.. they made so many unfavorable changes to their site I finally left it after 5 years and hundreds of blogs
Her Grandpa Pizano stayed with us for a week and she had lots of fun
I threw Alex's boppie downstairs and she said "Oh no Baby!" thinking it was him
She learned the lyrics and sings "Red River Valley" thanks to her Grandpa
She is learning to sing more lyrics to songs and often sings on her own without music while shes playing
She is really taken to taking care of her own baby doll as if it was real like Alex
Grandpa took her to McDonalds for the first time and she got to play in their play area with kids
She went to her Grandma Rebecca's house for a visit couple of weekends in a row
Her Grandma Rebecca bought her a Snow White costume that she wears EVERYWHERE! haha
She wears her toy earrings now
She wants everyone to hold her baby and sometimes make me feed him!
Her Grandpa, Mia and myself all went for a night walk outside
She likes to sit in the baby mat with her brother
She plays with Alex more and makes him smile all the time
She is starting to take care of Alex, making sure hes covered, talks to him when he cries and gives him toys to look at when hes laying down.
She "roars" and chases you and once she catches you, she will tickle you
Mia caught TWO colds this month... OH NO!
Mia likes La Bella's Minstone soup! (the first soup she ever willingly ate)
Mia's nap/bedtime have been improving (slightly)
Mia went poopies in her potty!!!
Mia also went poopies on the bathroom floor! OH NO! (she hasn't gone pottys in the bathroom since that happened haha)
Mia plays "doctor" whenever there is tissue paper laying around
She loves to push her baby in Alex's baby swing (and sometimes Alex too!)
She got her first Fever blisters (which came right before she got sick, both times)
She loves to draw and color and making "turkey hands"
She gets heart broken if she accidentally hurts Alex (like poke his eye or grabs his arm to hard)
Her and Daddy ate at a restaurant together by themselves for the first time (Rosa's Cafe)
She took a nap in our bed for the first time
We celebrated our first Thanksgiving with Alex
She has learned how to scream that high pitch scream when shes mad (Not good!)
Went to San Diego with Daddy to celebrate Thanksgiving with the Cardoso family
Strongly protests her picture being taken
She loves to wear boots
She met Santa and gave him a hug
She took pictures with Santa
She helped make rice and baked a cake with Mama
She helped make pancakes with Mama
She is getting into "Princesses" more and loves to watch their movies and dress up
She loves to tell stories of adventures she's had, and explain things
She got her first scooter riding Ouchie on her foot
She went to the park with her baby brother for the first time
She got into the destin during nap time and was covered in it from head to toe!
She gets up at all hours of the night now just to turn on her bedroom light
GOALS MET FROM LAST MONTH?:
She has accepted our attention towards Alex alot more. She no longer makes "me" hold the baby all the time and lets Daddy (sometimes, but hey its start). We haven't set up a good reward system with bedtime yet only because she has gotten better. Then again I guess staying with her until she falls asleep is sort of a reward. She still screams and cries when we leave... I guess she really isn't better. And finally, yes she is being taken outside alot more but thats only because the weather allows it some days.
GOALS FOR NEXT MONTH:
Have her stop screaming that high pitched bloody murder cry when we put her down for her nap and/or bedtime, have her be able to recognize all her letters and numbers (to 10).. shes about 90% there already, start learning that she only has limited options on things and just because she says no to everything doesn't mean new options appear (its hard to explain but its a bad habit she has right now. She says no to everything and we keep catering and giving her more options... we need to just give her just two.. its either this or that or nothing else)
