Mia's Firts Christmas!!

This was your first Christmas, usually we celebrate Christmas Eve with my family and Christmas day with your Daddy’s family, but this year Christmas Eve was only the three of us, which it was fine because Daddy was sick and wasn’t feeling good. We stay at Aunt Tracy’s house to be able to go for breakfast with the rest of the family.
On Christmas day we get up around 7:00 am and we dressed you on a really nice “ My first Christmas” outfit that we got you, it was cream with green and red colors, them we went downstairs to open presents, your first gift was from us (Daddy and Mommy) we got you the Fisher-Price Little Superstar: Sing-Along Stage. You had so much fun opening the box, it was beyond I expect it. It was so cute watching you so exacting like if you knew what was going on. Them you open Aunt Tracy’s and Aunt Jenn’s present, and after we were done we went to Garfield and spent the morning with the family. After the Christmas breakfast we head up down back to Maryland to spent the rest of the week at home, watching TV and relaxing to start a new week at work.
This is what you got for Christmas:
· Fisher-Price Fun with Friends Laugh & Learn Musical Table for Mommy and Daddy
· Clothes from and Learn & Groove Counting Maracas from Aunt Tracy and Jenn.
· Clothes and a boom box from Uncle Buster & Aunt Kelly.
· Clothes and $25.00 gift card from Grandma Linda
· Sit-to-Stand Activity Walker – Pink and a rag doll from Nina Patricia & Uncle Vinny
You had the same exiting expression for every single one of these presents.

Mia and Her Paci

This morning I got up at 6:30 am, I usually get up at 5:45 and Shaun gets up at 5:30, but since Shaun have the day off we can stay a little longer in bed cause he takes Mia to the daycare. This morning while Shaun and Mia were sleeping I started to get ready to go to work. When I came out of the bathroom and start putting my clothes on I heard Mia taping on her crib, I took the camera monitor to see what she was doing, to my surprise she was looking for her paci, she found it, put it in her mouth, she putted it backwards, she turned it around and putted right, she grabbed her blanket an cover herself. She did all this while she was sleeping. She is so sweet, I wanted to take her out of her crib and eat her up.

Mia is 9 month old

Today Mia is 9 month old, Shaun took her to her doctor’s appointment and she is 16.4 lbs and 27 inches long. The doctor said not to feed her more that 6 oz of milk since she is doing very well.
We are now allowed to give you finger food as long as is very soft. It is really exacting to start this new face in your life.
We have suddenly started seeing little tantrums from you this past week - you get very upset if someone takes what you are playing with. Hopefully this will soon pass, because its heart breaking to see you start crying and throw yourself backwards, no matter where you are. I don’t want to see you hurt!
I love this age as you become more interactive, and as you explore and hit milestones. But I also love my baby girl cuddles - some of my favorite moments are when you snuggle up and take a nap with me on the couch or you rest your head against my chest. I also love the happy wiggles when we come to wake you up in the morning and you are so excited to see us.
Mia don’t grow up too fast on me, okay? I’m trying to enjoy each and every stage and you are always my baby girl.

Mia got a cold

Mia has being sick for 4 days now, she got a cold. She is being sneezing, coughing and with running nose. She doesn’t have more fever thank God, but we are having a hard time, it has been really hard for her to suck on her bottle and she wakes up coughing in the middle of the night. It’s so sad and is heart breaking seen her like that, sometimes she look so miserable. She just wants to lie on our chest and stay there and not move. Shaun is been staying home with her for the last 3 days, he is such a good daddy, he is been waking up with me every night to feed her and clean her nose and put some saline drops on her little nose. We’ve taking turns in the middle of the night to comfort her.
We hope you get better soon. We love you!!

What Is Mia up to?

Just a little recap on what Mia is doing these days; Mia is 8 days away to be 9-month-old, yeap! 9 months.
Mia waves bye-bye and sings come. She loves to play hide and seek, one of the ways that we play with her is putting her on our bed and I go to the floor and start popping out from different sides of the bed. She love to play on the floor, but she hates tummy time. Her hair is so long that I’m able to do two Pitts tails. She still not crawling yet, she doesn’t sleep thru the night either, she still wakes up ones at night to eat and trust me if you don’t feed her you would get in big trouble.
She loves to finger paint, her favorites food still fruits, anything sweet, she like her puffs and she is really good at feeding them herself, she also like toast, when she got sick we were doing the Brat diet and we find out that she loves the toasted bread.
Her new thing is to cough, she is using this to get our attention, she started this new habit after she got the stomach virus, and she realizes that when she does that we are right looking at her to see what is happing it.
She loves her bath time and she loves to play in the water, she like when I do a waterfall with one of her toys and she learned how to splash. She also likes when I put her on Daddy’s shoulders, she start taping his head and trying to eat his hair.
She is very ticklish on her feet, she loves back and foot massages.
She is wearing size 9 month on Carte’s brand and 6-9 months in others, she is getting a little two big for her infant car seat; we need to go shopping for a new convertible one after the holiday.

IS SANTA PICTURE TIME.

We went to see Santa yesterday and it was a lot of fun. I’m really happy that we found a really looking Santa, cause I don’t like the ones with fake beard. Mia wasn’t afraid of him, she was more curious, as you can see on the pictures, she was like oh! What is this fluffy thing that you have. It was like they knew each other.We are really please of the way that the pictures came out.

THANKSGIVING

Thanksgiving week was kind of crazy for us, Mia got a stomach virus that lasted almost a week, because of that we decide to stay home and not to go to NJ to spend it with our families. On Thanksgiving Day we went to Boston Market to get our dinner, (we did cook however we send the food to my sister Josie’s house since we cook for 25 people we didn’t want to stay with all that food at home). It was actually a really nice dinner any for only 31 dollars and some change we got a turkey breast, stream beans, sweet potato casserole, stuffing and pumpkin pie. When we get out of the parking lot Mia got sick and start vomiting, again. Shaun had to pullover to take her out of the car seat. We went home to do laundry, bathed Mia and get comfortable and watch Harry Potter movies. Poor little baby what a first thanksgiving day. Thank God that was the end of it, after that she got better, on Friday we went out to look at a couple of stores and grab some lunch at Qdoba Mexican food, them we went home a put up the Christmas tree and Christmas decorations. Even that didn’t have the chance to spent the day with our families, we had a good time cause we spent our first Thanksgiving as a family together the three of us and that is better than any dinner in the whole world.
We are so grateful for our little angel, she makes us so happy, and she filled our lives with love and Joy. It doesn’t matter how bad was our day at work or all the problems that we have, Mia makes everything much better and she is that reason for us to rush home just to be with her, she make our love stronger, she complete us.We love you mama.
