Current Mood: Exhausted
Happy Friday! It's that time again! Too bad I am so exhausted I really am having a hard time getting motivated to write. But since all these blogs are a gift from me to Mia... I must keep going. Soooo tired. I didn't get good rest last night, then again when do I ever get good rest right? haha But Alex was up on and off and mix that in with Adrian's snoring that wakes me up out of a dead sleep doesn't help either. Alex is back asleep and I could sneak in a couple more hours of sleep but I have no where to do that. The livingroom is way to cold, I can't sleep in Alex's room because he will know I am there and wake up for awake time. Mia snores as well and I can't stand Adrian's snoring so I am stuck. Ah well... at least I have this blog to cheer me up right?
Well this has been one exhausting but exciting week. It started off with a trip to Mia's Nina and Nino's house for a visit with her cousins. It was Alex's first trip to Oxnard and other than a few crying incidents on the way home, he did really well. Mia had a blast with her cousins. She was center of their attention and ate it up. She even got a present from her Nina and Nino, a bubble train which she loves!!! She had lots of fun, but wasn't to much into the whole "sharing" concept, especially when it came to her beloved Sponge Bob balloon.. haha.
We have also decided to get her a hair cut. Her hair is just too wild and unmanagable now. It literally looks like its unkept regardless of how much I try to make it look nice. She refuses to allow me to put anything in her hair like rubber bands and stuff and just yanks them out or cries until they are out. Its awful. So when is the big day for her hair cut? Not sure, we are still trying to work out the details... hopefully soon.
She had a couple of adventures with her Daddy this week too. Once to the park and the other time to Orange County. She always enjoys some one on one time with her Dada and always comes home with new stories to tell. She also accompanied him to get his oil change at a near by tire shop. She got to ride her scooter around but had a small accident where she crashed into Adrian's leg and fell over. She scraped her knee a little bit but got right back up on her scooter and scooted along. What a champ!
Mia still loves to sing and we finally capture her singing "Shadow of the Day" by Lincoln Park! It is the cutest thing to hear her try to hard yet struggle. I know these days are so short lived so I am trying to enjoy them as much as I can, before I know it she will be belting out ballots like the best of them.
Well the main theme of this week is definately baby swings!!!! My Brother and Sis in Law gave us their baby swing to help with Alex. We already had a swing but Mia hated it as a baby and so does Alex. So when Alex accepted the new swing we jumped at taking it home with us. However, Mia didn't approve. She wanted the swing for herself and HER babies, so I brought out her old swing thinking she would use it for her babies but NOPE she uses it for herself!!! Good Grief that little girl is WAY to big for it and I know it will come crashing down any second but she really enjoys it and I don't have the heart to take it away from her just yet.
Since the baby swing has come into the house she has been playing Mama again with her baby dolls. She had stopped doing that for a long while now but is back at it. Its the cutest thing to watch her take care of her dolly like a Mama, she feeds him bottles (thankfully she no longer uses her belly button!), burps him, and calls him brother! Priceless!
The sticker monster has returned!!! Yep, she got ahold of a new pack of stickers and they ended up all on her. She put every single sticker all up her arm and only one arm! She was so decorated that it almost looked like she had a full tattoo sleeve! haha Sure enough, slowly by slowly the stickers ended up all over the house and I am still peeling them off the couch and under my feet!
Another big thing happened this week. She finally realized she can open her bedroom door by herself!!! Granted she has opened the guestroom door before, she never quite put two and two together and it was more of an accident. This time, after opening her door she got all excited and told Dada "I DID IT!!!" Luckily for us, I think she has forgotten about it because she hasn't done it again....yet....
One last amazing thing happened this week. She got a new Sponge Bob toy! (Well she has gotten a few from Daddy already since Burger King is selling them, but I am not talking about that). One morning she peeked outside and to her and my shock she found a brand new (with tags) Sponge Bob sitting under the window outside in the backyard! After getting it and closely inspecting it I found out it was brand new!!! WOW! I cleaned it up a bit and gave it to her and its her new best buddy! I still can't understand how it ended up back there in the first place.
Well thats about it for the week. My eyes are literally burning... I am so very tired. Maybe I will just suffer on the cold couch for a bit. I need sleep before I can start the day with the kids.. wish me luck!
