YOU ARE 20 MONTH OLD

You are growing up fast – 20 months old today. I can hardly believe it. You really seem like you are becoming a big girl, more so every day and it is so fun to see the world through your eyes.
I think every day you learn new words – lately there has been: thank you, please, hurry, shoe off, fork and you are trying to sing songs as well. You ask us to sing ABCD, old Mcdonald had a farm and one in Spanish a, e, i, o, u. you favorite toys are legos and play doh. You also like to play ring around the rosy, hide and seek, horse (go on daddy’s back while he crawl around the living room).
We love you very much baby girl. Happy 20 Months Birthday!

Baby Momma

Aunt Tracy's time with Mia

This past weekend was such a nice weekend. I got to spend it with you, Mommy and Daddy for Mommy's birthday. And to my surprise, you asked for me all weekend long. When we went out to dinner at Ikea, we ate together and I helped feed you. Then we played walked half of the store and you played in the children's area. I kept you occupied while Mommy and Daddy looked at big girl beds for you. That was a great night. Then the next morning, Daddy brought you downstairs when you first woke up and you cuddled with me on the couch for about a second and then as soon as you realized Codie was right there, you got down and hugged and kissed Codie all morning and afternoon long. You asked me to sit down on the floor to play "Yego Yego", which means Lego's. I loved every moment I got to spend with you this weekend. It's amazing how quickly you are growing and each time I see you, Mommy and Daddy taught you something new. For example, ever since you got bit is school, Daddy has been very upset and decided to teach you to talk back. So when I asked you if I could bite you, you said "NO NO". Or when I asked how old you were, you said "Uno". That was a big surprise. I think what surprised me the most is when you pointed to your diaper and said, "Pee Pee". Mommy and Daddy explained to me that you now pee pee on the potty when you say that. So I brought you upstairs to go and you said "Tacy pee pee", and you meant that you wanted me to go too. And as soon as I started going, I heard funny noises. And come to find out, you don't only know how to pee pee on the toilet, apparently Mommy and Daddy taught you how to poo poo too!! Of course, I had no idea what to do, so Daddy had to show me. Sunday morning was the best. Daddy brought you downstairs again, when you first woke, and shortly after that, we all went to Walmart so Mommy and Daddy could go food shopping. Almost the entire time we were there, you asked for me. So I decided to walk you over to the toys department and ride on what you call a "bikey". You loved it. Then we looked at Elmo dolls and eventually Mommy and Daddy came over to join us. I love spending time with you Mia and can't wait to see you again so you can surprise me with something new that Mommy and Daddy taught you!!

HALLOWEEN

This last weekend was Halloween and it seems that you liked it. You still go around the house with you basket trick or treating giving candy to daddy and me.
You’ve been sick for over a week now, you first had a sinus infection and now you have a cold, which is why you couldn’t go to the school harvest because instead you went to the doctor’s office.
On Saturday we took you to Michael’s for a Halloween event that they had. You got a purple bucket with a black witch on it, a balloon, a Halloween frame (that we have to make) and a pencil with a play-doh monster (that daddy made for you). Then we took you for lunch at Friendly’s. We went home for a nap and in the afternoon we took you to the mall for trick or treating. You look so beautiful on you ladybug outfit. Afterwards you did a few stores of trick or treating definitely got the concept. We haven’t let you eat any of the candy yet. I’ll probably let you eat the lollipops.
Mia it is so much fun watching you grow up. I can’t wait for Christmas.
