Thunders and Lightning

Yesterday afternoon started to rain pretty bad, there was lots of thunders and lightning. Mia was not happy about it, she was actually really scared of the thunders, she spend the whole evening in our laps/ arms until stop raining. it was so cute to see her jump everytime she heard them.

Memorial Day Weekend 09

We had a great Memorial Day weekend. On Saturday we took Mia for a bike ride to the Baltimore and Annapolis trail, after 1.5 miles we stop at the playground to go on the swings them we ride back. In the afternoon we went to Shaun’s friends Chris for a BBQ, they have a moon bounce, swings and other games for the kids. Mia has a great time with the others kids and playing in the grass.
On Sunday we went to the National Zoo in DC, we had a great time Mia got so exited when she so the bear, some of the animal she couldn’t see cause they were kind of far and I think she can focus that well to actually see the animals when there is so many trees, rocks, etc. we walk the zoo for about 3 hours and after lunch we decide to go back because it was getting too busy.
On Monday we went shopping and spent the afternoon at home and have a great BBQ that Shaun made for us.
We had a great time and looking forward a this weekend because Aunt Tracy and Grandma Linda are coming.

14 Months Old

Today you are fourteen months old. You are a sponge right now, absorbing everything around you so it’s really enjoyable to help you along the way.
You still love your morning and evening bottles - love them. Hold them like they are your baby, We want it to break it before we go back and see Dr. Youn for the 15 month appointment, but we’ll see, I really don’t want you to stop drinking your milk, during the day you are all zippy cups and you are a pro using the straw. Right now not even considering breaking the paci habit - though you mainly only have them at night/naps unless you are extremely cranky.
You love your babies and your stuffed animals, and really any toy can substitute. You hug them and pat them and mother them before tossing them aside. There is not one toy that has stood out yet as your favorite, you still love them all for minutes at a time before moving on to another. Another thing is you love to dance, every time that you hear music or we told you to dance you are right on it.
You love the outside and pointing to everything you see. You give the best kisses and you blow kisses as well. You still don’t want to walk alone more than a couple steps, but you cruise and turbo crawl with the best of them (and can walk just fine holding onto one of our hands so I think you are just too stubborn to let go).
They say it just keeps getting better, and I can truly say I am loving how fast you learn things and how much more you can interact with us. It doesn’t mean I didn’t think the baby stage was wonderful - I loved the baby stage, having my head lying against yours and that baby smell. But it’s also exciting to see you becoming a true toddler and developing your personality which appears to be fairly independent and strong willed. Don’t know where you get that from… ;) But you are loving and happy and friendly as well, things I hope stay with you always.
I love you baby girl. I am looking forward to a great summer.
Love,
Mommy.

Mother's Day

For Sunday May 10 Mother’s day we stared the day going for breakfast at Friendly’s after breakfast we took Mia to the Clark’s Elioak Farm in Ellicott City, they have a petting zoo, a fairy tale forest and a enchanted forest pine tree maze. We has such a great time, Mia enjoyed all the figures from the enchanted Forest (the old women in a shoe, the 3 bears house, the 3 pigs house, Alice in wonderland, sleeping beauty, etc) the slides and all the animals at the farm, they have goats, sheep, donkeys, pigs, cows, ponies, turkeys, ducks, chickens, bunnies. It was the first time at the farm for all of us and it was more that I was expecting. It took about two hours to do all the displays and see all the animals. We also took a hayride around the farm.
After that we went out to lunch and to Patricia’s house to see Aiden and we ended the day with a great BBQ that daddy make for us.
It was a great day and a perfect mother’s day.

Thank you Shaun and Mia for make that they so special, I hope you had as much fun as I had.

Love,
Mommy
