Two more days and we will be in DR, we can’t wait, we are so exiting. We are all packed, well almost. I still have to pack a couple of personal stuffs, but for the most we are ready to go. We got our bathing suits, sunscreen, sunglasses and have of course Mia’s milk and dippers.
Yesterday we spend most of the day packing our suitcases trying to put together what we really need, since we are only allowed one suitcase per person and only 50 pounds… I’m still wondering…. were I’m going to put that 5 pounds of chocolate candies that we bought at BJ’s?
We had a productive day, however Mia got a running nose and in the middle of the night she couldn’t breath, she woke up 3 time, poor little one. Shaun and I took turns to comfort her and try to clean her little nose and put some saline nose drops so she can breath better and this morning she was all smile, she was still sneezing though, she is such a good girl. Unfortunately Daddy couldn’t stay with her cause he needed to take the CRV for oil change and I had to drop her off at the day care, but he is picking her up earlier.
Hopefully she will get better for our trip on Wednesday.
It will be a couple of weeks before we can write on the blog, but when we do we will have lots of things and pictures to share.

MIA IS 6 MONTH OLD!!!
A lot has happened over the weekend. First Mia turned 6 months old (wao! where the time goes). I truly can't believe my baby is 6 months old now! Sometimes I look at her half expecting her to still be a tiny little newborn and then I'm blown away with how different she looks! She is going through such a cute phase right now. She is very social and flirts with everyone. Mia is my joy! I love this child so much!
Also she had her doctor’s appointment, she got all her vaccinations plus a flu shot. My poor little pumpkin cried so much. Mia is getting bigger and bigger she is 14.9 pounds and 22 inches long. (For reference that puts her in the 75 percentile in height, and 25 in weight.) Doctor said that she is growing beautifully.
We tried to feed her chicken on Saturday, but unfortunately she doesn’t like it. She puked all her milk after one spoon of it. So I guess we are holding the meat for a while.
Also on Sunday we took her to piercing Pagoda to get her ears pierced, she looked so cute. she cried for about 3 minutes and after that I let her lick my Ice cream cone as a reward for being such a good baby.
Mia is in that phase interested in things like necklaces, cell phones, TV remote controls, and water bottles to the coolest and most expensive baby toys. Why do we think we need all the cool toys for our kids when trash is just as entertaining! It's almost like baby's prefer to have things they know aren't for them!!
Mia talks to herself as she is waking up, instead of crying when he wakes up, she lies there and called daddy (dada) and start clapping. She is such a good baby.

I DON'T LIKE TURKEY
I hope everybody had a nice weekend, here was really hot on Sunday, I would say extremely hot to be September. I just want to take a few minutes to update you on what Mia has been up to these days.
Well on Saturday we tried to feed Mia turkey and turkey gravy from beechnuts baby food, that didn’t go to good, she didn’t like it at all, she was making faces and it looked that she was going to choke, she only had two spoons and she refused to open her mouth to eat it, so we had to switch to one of her favorites, pears. I also think she believes she is too big to breastfeed anymore, she doesn’t like to latch on unless it is 3 in the morning, she is giving me a hard time to breastfeed her and I have to rely on the bottles, she doesn’t have a problem eating from the bottles it doesn’t matter if it’s breast milk or formula, her problem is to latch to my nipple, we think it has to be because of her gums, she has been teething for about two months, but I still don’t see signs of a tooth coming, she has all the symptoms, but nothing yet.
On Saturday afternoon we went to the Outlets around 1 hour from our house. We had a good time and we got a couple of things that we needed for our trip in October. When we were walking around the outlets we got into Rocky Mountains Ice cream store and of course we had to go in and try the ice cream. At the store they had this huge bear, which Mia found amazing and she wanted to eat him, it was so hilarious.
We all got ice cream cones and Mia kept trying to reach for Patricia’s so I have to let her try it, well Mia has a sweet tooth like her Mother...she loves the vanilla bean ice cream, I let her licked it twice but she definitely wanted more. Too bad that we all had full hands otherwise we would have taken a picture.
Mia has been playing patty cake (tortilla de manteca) for a while now and she call her daddy more clearly, we are trying to teach her how to wave bye-bye, but still she doesn’t do it. We are still working on her to roll over from her tummy to her back and nothing of crawling, who knows maybe she's going to start walking before crawling.

Mia Graduated
Mia started to go to room B on Monday September 8th, she graduated from room A, which is from 6 week old to 6 month old babies.
She passed all her test (multi-sensory: sensory visual/auditory, gross motor/ fine motor, cognitive, language, social, kinesthetic, visual motor integration and self esteem). Yes, a baby has to be evaluated on all these.
We still have to work on her to roll from her belly to her back.
Mia is eating a lot more baby food; she actually eats very well, no very messy. Last night she had 4-½ oz of milk and all of her sweet potatoes (she loves sweet potatoes) before going to bed.
We are going to try meat this weekend; we are going to start with chicken and then turkey.
Last weekend we got her her first bathing suit, it is a two pieces bikini, I haven’t tried it on her yet, but I can’t wait to see her with it on. Don’t worry I’ll take pictures for the blog. We also got her a seahorse-floating device, so she can use it on the pool and at the beach on our vacation in Dominican Republic.

Mia's First Word
This is incredible, we think that Mia is going to start talking soon, yesterday at the day care she started to say Da……….Da. Ms. Beverly told Shaun when he picked her up in the afternoon and when he got home he payed attention of what she was mumbling and she did say Da………..Da again. When I got home around 5:45 PM he told me and I couldn’t believe it, however as much as I tried to listen she didn't say it for me. But this morning when she woke up I put her in bed with me she said Da…………Da.
I’m so proud of my little one, she is so smart. Even at the daycare they say that she is really advanced for her age, usually babies start to say the first word after the 7th months and Mia is only 5 ½ months old.
I really would like her to say Momma or mommy first, but I can live with that :)

LABOR DAY WEEKEND
For Labor Day weekend we went to NJ to celebrate Patricia’s Bridal shower at my cousins Paola’s house. We drove up on Saturday morning to NJ and stayed at Tracy and Jenn’s place. We had a great time, Tracy gave us with a BBQ lunch and aunt Josie came over to see Ms Mia.
Mia got her first personalized sippy cup (purple and pink) from aunt Tracy and aunt Jenn, it is unbelievable how Mia gets along with them since she only sees them once or twice a month. Mia giggles, laughs and enjoys her time with them.
For the first time in 5 ½ months Mia payed attention to Cody (Tracy's dog), she just realized that he exists, she kept looking at him the whole time.
On Sunday we went to the farmer's market for a nice walk, the weather was so nice, then we headed up to Bayonne for the party.
Finally Mia had the chance to meet the Genao family (my mother’s side), she did so well, everybody was holding her and she was so friendly to everyone. The luau/ bridal shower went very well, everybody had a good time. Mia got her first pair of earrings from uncle Raphy (Rubies and diamonds) now we have to get her ears pierced.
