RennFest, Pumpkin Picking and Photo shoot

Yes, all that in one weekend.
On Saturday we got all ready to go to the renaissance festival in Crownsville Maryland, it was a little cold weather, usually we don’t wait until the last weekend of the festival, but since we were in DR on vacation we have not choice, there were a lot of people, I like it better when there is not that many people, you have more chance to walk freely. Overall we had a good day we walked around, ate some turkey legs, cheesecake in a stick, watch some shows and take some pictures. We only stayed for around 4 hours; we didn’t want Mia to get sick.
On Sunday we took Mia for her first photo shoot at picture people, it was a lot of fun and a lot of work, we have 3 different outfits for her and trust me, try to change a 7-month-old baby it’s a lot of work. We dressed her a Tinkerbelle, in a pumpkin onesies and also with a beautiful pink dress that she used for Patricia’s weeding. After that we got lunch and them we went to Queen Anne Farm in Mitchellville, MD. We want to take Mia for more pictures (poor baby) in the pumpkin patch picking our first pumpkin for Halloween as a family. We were there for about two hours.
Here are a couples of pictures, enjoy!!!

Mia's Firts trip to Dominican Republic

We just came back from our first trip to DR with Mia, and I can say that she was a perfect little traveler; she did really well on the plane. She was EASY to travel with. We just took turns bouncing her and keeping her asleep.
It was a 3 ½ hours flight, she slept for about an hour as soon as we got in the plane before we took off, so that worked well then she woke up and we feed her and change her diaper and cloth and she fall asleep again.
When we got to Puerto Plata we had to go through customs and immigration and get a tourist card for Shaun and Mia. As soon we walk out we saw Francis, Nicole and Rafa they were waiting for us and Francis got Mia a Hello Kitty balloon. We loaded up on and made about a two hours journey from the airport to Santiago.
When we got to Santiago everybody was so happy and exacting to see Mia. It was a lot of fun to finally get to show her off to the rest of the family!
On Friday we head up to Puerto Plata for the wedding, we had a really nice time and during our stay at the hotel Mia started to consistently sleep through the night! Little did I know that was all about to change once we when back to my parent’s house.
I don’t know it was because of the AC in the room or because of the water (ocean and pool) that she got so tired that she needed to sleep so much, but whatever the reason was it was heaven to had a nice and relaxing couples of nights. With the cleaning bottles part it was a little uncomfortable, we didn’t have a microwave or stove to sterilize them, so we had to use gallons of water to clean her nipples and bottles. The hotel was really nice, the food was good, but the best part was watching Mia for the first time in the water, she loved it (both the pool and the ocean) even the sand, we are so blessed to have such a good baby.Here are a couple of pictures of Mia, enjoy!!!
