Mia turned 9 month old on Wednesday and poor little one what a bad weekend she had, She got a stomach virus on Friday, when I got home from work she stared to vomit, we had to take her to nighttime pediatrics a 11:00 pm and didn’t came back until almost 1:00am on Saturday, them she got diarrhea. We took her back to her doctor on Saturday morning.
On Sunday she was a little better but on Monday she start vomiting again. We had to stop feeding you milk for 12 hours and Dad had to stay home with you, he said that you are doing much better today and you are able to keep you milk in your stomach.
I’m so very proud of you, you are such a trooper, you’ve been so good during all this. You haven’t cried and you are drinking your pedialyte (don’t know how cause it taste really bad). We are trying to follow the BRAT diet — bananas, rice, applesauce, and dry toast, but you only seen more interesting in only the toast. You still smiles and laugh at us, I can’t believe that you are always in a good mood. We need to you to get better soon mama, I hate to see you sick.

Where does the time go?
Where does the time go? Mia is almost 8 months old.
Here are some updates on how Mia is doing, she still not crawling yet, but we think she is getting there, even that she doesn’t like tummy time she is moving a lot, when she is her crib she always end it side ways, how does she get like that I have not idea.
She leans forward to get her toys and roll over form back to tummy, she likes to jump and also she likes to be up, if you hold her arms she will stay up for a while.
Yesterday Daddy was making chili for a fundraiser at the DOIM (were he works) and she was so in the thinks that he was doing we think that she is going to like to cook.
She loves to eat our faces, she pull or hair and start sucking our face.
She is getting better at eating her cookies (Gerber Biter Biscuits) she seems to like them a lot.
Mia is so good in the nursery. She is usually the only baby that doesn't cry. I am so blessed! Usually the providers tell us that there are taking Mia home with them cause she is such a sweet baby.
She just watches everything going on around her. It's so much fun to see her in there with the other babies! She's a little social butterfly too! She's never met a stranger she didn't like!
She smiles at anyone who pays attention to her and squeals with delight! People are always stopping to comment on our "happy baby." We are more in love with her everyday!

Halloween
In my last post I told you that Mia was Tinkerbelle for Halloween, but actually on Halloween day OCT. 31st she wore her Babies 1st Halloween outfit, I thought it was going to be too uncomfortable to be wearing those wings all day and too cold for her. I did bring it to the day care just in case, but she did not wear it.The daycare had a parade around the building and the big kids walked around it all dressed up.They did take the babies out for a little bit. We didn’t go trick or treating cause Mia is too small for that and we didn’t need more candy in the house and we didn’t have any kids coming to our house anyway, like every year we end it up taking the candies to work. Overall Halloween was a regular day for us.

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.

We are all packed!!!!!
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.
