Our bundles of joy

It has been a very long time since we have updated our blog.  Owen is 2 and Mia 5.  I cannot believe how time flies.  It really needs to go a bit slower, so we can enjoy our precious little ones!  Mia is about to graduate from Pre-K, and Owen is a bundle of surprises.  His vocabulary is becoming very clear, and he basically has full conversations now, with the exception of a few mumbles here and there. 

CHRISTMAS IS IN THE AIR

Can you believe Christmas is only 3 weekends away? This past weekend we went to visit Santa @ the mall. She was so happy to see him, she gave him a big hug and told him that she is going to make him cookies and put him milk on Christmas Eve. He asked her what she was going to leave Rudolph and Mia said: a carrot.
After that we went to a Christmas party @ FT Meade. Here are a couple of pictures of the event:

32 MONTHS OLD

Whoa! It has been a long time since our last post. Mia is 32 Months old and it seems like yesterday that she was just a tiny baby. Now, she is a big girl who likes to jump, run around and do cool tricks, act as a ballerina, and use our foot board as a balancing beam. She still loves her dolls and play-doh. She also likes to play swords with her daddy...and of course win! She likes to help around the house by cleaning, but only when it's not her own mess. She has finally discovered that M&M's are not the only chocolate candy (thanks to Halloween). Now she asks for Hershey chocolate bars, Milky Ways or even tootsie rolls. She has become a fashionista because now she picks out what she wants to wear and she loves shoes. Mia's vocabulary is amazing (in English). She makes sense in every sentence she states. She uses word like: belongs, actually, enough.
At times we take it for granted that she is very mature and expect so much, yet come to the realization that she is only 2 years old. She is our little baby and always will be! She absolutely loves to be pampered, and enjoys hugs and kisses. She is still daddy's little girl and loves to be the princess of the house. Of course she can be stubborn when she doesn't get her way, for instance, when she is watching a cartoon and it is time for a nap or shower/bath, she says "2 more minutes". Her favorite media are Wow Wow Wubzy, Dino Dan, Ni Hao Kailan, and Maltilda.
Her favorite color still: pink.
Her favorite Ice Cream Flavor is Vanilla and she doesn’t like chocolate milk.

She knows her colors and shapes (triangle, square, circle).
Love,
Mommy and Daddy

A BIG GIRL

Mia is growing up so fast! She is 29 months old now and is loving life! We love every minute with her. Here are some funny things she does and some of her accomplishments:
She is potty trained! Yesterday we received a note on her daily sheet from the daycare and was in big pink market " POTTY TRAINED". Woohoo for our baby girl. She was in the basement with daddy and told him that she had to go poo poo. Shaun was cleaning and she said daddy it's ok I will do it. She went upstairs, and Shaun gave her 5 minutes. He went up there and she actually did it by herself and wiped her heiny. She said daddy, I am big!
You also wake up in the middle of the night and wake us up because you need to go potty.
You sing so many songs now, and sing them well! (ABC’s, twinkle twinkle, ba ba black sheep, the itsy bitsy spider, the wheels on the bus and many more.
You even attempt to read the books to Mommy and Daddy.
Yesterday she called Mommy Ma’ for the first time. Not Mommy but Ma’.
Mia is into movies now; her favorite movies are Matilda and nanny Mcphee.
She watched the movie and asked us questions about the movie, it’s so cute.
She still loves stickers and now her favorite snack is marshmallows.
I hope you’ve enjoyed the little glimpse into your life as a 29 month old. You are so much fun and keep us laughing all the time and you keep us on our toes as well!

JULY 2010

Wao is been a long time since our last post. We’ve been so busy. Where to start
Ok July:

For 4th of July we went to Ft. Meade. Mia play football with Paul, danielle and Daddy. She run around, played on the moonbounce, got a balloon animal and had a great time with the family. she also watch the fire works for the first time, at first she was a little scared and covered her ear, but them she was able to enjoy them.

We also took a week vacation to go to Dominican Republic to visit my family, also we were able to attended to Alain’s high school graduation and Aiden’s baptism. After that we spent a couple of days at Iberostart Costa Dorada beach and Resort. We had a great time Mia love the pool, no so much the beach, she loved to put on her bathing suit and go in the water she looked forward to that everyday.
She survived on ice cream, French fries and apple juice. yeap that basically all she ate. She did really well at the airport and on the plane, this was Mia’s 3rd time on a plane and she loves that now she gets her on seat. Back at my parent she was bear feet all day and with a top and pull ups it is so hot there that she didn’t want to wear pants.
She loved to play with all of her cousins especially with Lia, Miky and Alain. She is so bossy she keeps telling them what to do and where to go.
Back to the states she didn’t want to go back to the daycare, I don’t blame her I didn’t want to go back to work either.
Here are a few pictures of our trip.

Where did they go

The other day Karina and I were in the basement in the laundry room and Mia was in the other side playing with her toys. Well apparently she discovered we were not in there with her and went up the 2 flight of stairs looking for us. I asked Karina if she heard the footsteps running up stairs, and she didn't , so I asked her to look out to see if Mia was there playing still...well she wasn't. So Karina went up stairs and discovered she went to the second floor looking for us, because she thought we left her.
