I've been tagged

by John Carlos...so I will tell you 10 things about me (Mia)

1. I LOVE to dance. If there is music on I must dance and sometimes Mommy dances with me and that is my favorite.

2. I think every furry creature is a kit cat (except the dog he is a dooooog) so a hamster is a kit cat, a guinea pig is a kit cat, a bunny you guessed it is a kit cat.

3. I never fall asleep in my car seat. Mommy can count on one hand the number of times I have fallen asleep in my car seat.

4. I love to cuddle and when I cuddle I play with my Mommy's hair. Mommy thinks it is SO sweet.

5. I love chicken noodle soup or any soup really.

6. I am very shy around everyone except my Mommy's.

7. I have this horrific noise I make when I want something. It sounds like EEEEEEEEEEEEE. Mommy said we are not going out to eat until I stop making it because it is embarassing.

8. I love my binkie. I would always have one in my mouth if Mommy wouldn't hide them from me. I also love to rub my binkie on the cats or Mommy's hair and then I put it back in my mouth. It is very strange.

9. I have a lot of toys, but never play with them. Instead I get into things and play with them. Like the tupperware cupboard or the bench that holds odds and ends.

10. I love to play in the dogs water. If it is on the floor I run over to it and swish my hands around in it until Mommy puts it away.

I will be tagging Julian, Austin, Ally, and Logan.

These are some pics from Mia was learning how to wave.



Look it was summer and she wasn't wearing any shoes! She only has 2 teeth : )

This was her first wave! How cute!!!

This is her serious look or as Jenny calls this pic...feed the children, but I told her that she is WAY too chubby to be the spokebaby for feed the children.

Macs Rule

So I haven't been blogging much lately because I have been awaiting my new computer. I got my new computer and it died or maybe we killed it. I will never know, but that is ok because I got another BETTER computer. My old Mac Book was over 6 years old and we bought it used so it was a little slow to say the least. Just a dig for all you PC users out there - how many of you can say that you even have a 6 yr old laptop that even still boots up?!? Not many I suspect because Macs rule and PC's drool. Just had to get that out! Back to my old computer....it took forever to do everything and I couldn't understand how everyone posted so many pictures, because it took me an hour to resize and upload 5 of them. So anyway here is my new computer! You may be hearing more from me now. Yes, I took pictures of my new computer and I suppose I will throw in some of Mia too.

Onto Mia....she is walking almost exclusively now! It is so funny, because it still surprises me sometimes when I see her walking towards me! We had her 18 mo check up and it was HORRIBLE. Jenny couldn't come with me (she has came to every other appointment) so I was on my own and Mia started screaming as soon as we got into the room and didn't stop until we were out in the car. It was horrible. Did I mention how horrible it was. On a good note though, Mia weights a whopping 27 pounds 10 ounces and she is 33 inches tall. She is a big girl! Which is sort of funny because I always thought I would have this tiny little girl from Guatemala and instead I have a big girl from Guatemala.

Jenny and I have decided to try a new church by us so I had to go and buy Mia a new dress for the occasion. I think it will be good for her to be in the nursery around other kids her age. We will see I am not a Christian, but I think it will be good and I hope we can make some new friends and it is a liberal church too so none of the hateful things that some churches spew in their sermons.

Mia LOVES her backpack and she can actually say backpack! I know she probably watches too much Dora, but she can say backpack because of it.



Back view of backpack.

Her new dress. Excuse the onesie under it. On a side note I think I am the only person who still uses onesis?!?



Back view of skirt. Isn't it cute.



Full view of outfit and yes she is eating a sock. I don't know why, but I guess I should feed her more often.



This picture almost made me cry because she is so beautiful. I know I am biases, but damn she is a beauty.



This is the other dress, but I have to return it because it is too small.



Guess what she is holding my Disney credit card. She loves to play with credit cards! I think I might be in for it when she is a teenager.

18 months old

Yesterday my baby girl was 18 months old! She is getting to be such a big girl. It seems like yesterday she was a tiny 4 month old baby. Yesterday we went to music class and I attempted a photo shoot, but it didn't go well.

I think Mia's teeth are in or so we think, so she slept last night, but we will see what happens tonight. She was getting 2 molars in so I guess I can't really blame her.

Here re the pictures...

This is Jenny's attempt. I think she did a pretty good job.

Look how cute she is!

My attempt my a photo shoot. Things didn't start off too bad, but she quickly got upset with the whole thing.

Look at her Guatemalan doll.

She's starting to get upset at me.

Ok, now she is upset with me. So I picked her up. It is a hard life.

I would like to aplogize....

for my years of being a stinky person who didn't even know how stinky I was and that I may have been making you stinky. We went to a birthday party at a bowling alley and people were smoking. Every time we walked past someone who was smoking I nearly lost my breath. By the time the party was done the smoke had made its way into our hair, clothes, gave me a headache, and made my throat feel scratchy. As soon as we exited the bowling alley and got to fresh air I could breath again, but we all stunk so bad. We all went home and took a shower. Yes we had Mia with us and I will never expose her to that again. So the next person who has a birthday party at a bowling alley I will have to say that we can't make it and just send a gift. I am sure that someone will think I am overprotective or that I don't care about their kids birthday party, but I just won't do it.

Anyway, Mia still thinks that the day starts at 3, 4 or 5 a.m. and I (we) are so tired of it. I think that she is still teething, but I am afraid that we are getting into a habit of getting up at crazy time to play!



We had a warm day and we decided to take Mia out for a walk with the dog. We got her all dressed up in this coat that someone bought for her, but I don't think she like it!

Mia has started this new thing where she wants Jenny all the time and whines when Jenny leaves the room or says, "mama.". It used to be me all the time. Well she wants Jenny unless she says that it is bed time. Then she attaches to my head!

and pinches my nose.

These are pics of our visit trip when Miss Mia was only 4 months old. She was so sweet. These sleepy time pictures are because Miss Mia has decided that she (and I) don't need to sleep anymore. She thinks her new wake up time is 3 am, 4 am, and if I am lucky 5 am. She is teething, but seriously!!! I think she is getting 3 or 4 teeth in so I don't totally blame her, but I am tired.

Is Paula drunk?

First things first....Is or has Paula been drunk on American Idol? Are we the only ones who see it? The woman can't even put a full sentence together. She is so strange. I have proof of her drunkeness on my DVR for anyone who doesn't believe me.

OK I have finally got blogger to upload my pictures! Thank goodness I thought I would never be able to post pictures again.

Not a lot going on here. We are just waiting for spring to get here so we can play outside and Mia can wear some of her new summer clothes.

Ok so my little girl is FINALLY walking. She still crawls sometimes, but she is mostly walking. She will be 18 months old on the 19th so it is about time she has gotten off her butt and started walking! I posted some picture for proof!

Look at my big girl walking AND eating a donut!



WE were having a fashion show with Mia's new dress and check her out - she is walking!



Can you see the scratch on her nose? Poor baby.



Does this cat look annoyed? Is she playing with a ball?



This is why she looks annoyed. A baby girl is throwing the ball at her!



Still annoying the cat.

At the play area at the mall

Going in for the kiss.



Planting the kiss on the poor unsuspecting sleeping bunny.



Getting ready to come down the slide.



Look at the cute little butt coming down the slide.

Pictures..

I have lots of pics resized and ready to upload, but blogger isn't letting me do it so we will have to save it for another day.

To the day in question from the previous post.

The answer is D.

Here is the story...
Mia and I were having a great time playing at the play area at the mall. I overheard a mom talking to another mom about how her son was always stealing his cousins toys and hitting them I didn't know who her son was, but I would soon figure it out. So Mia and I were minding our own business and playing and since Mia is the only child there not walking I usually follow her around so the bigger kids don't accidentally step on her hands. Or maybe because I am overprotective and don't want her to get hurt. So we made our way over to the slide and Mia had climbed up the stairs to get to the top. There was a little boy on the landing of the slide who wasn't letting any other kids slide down. He was probably 2 or so. Then some kids like 3 or 4 yrs old came and he moved over and let them slide down. Mia was to the top now and yelled said, "NO. She can't come down." I calmly said, "why don't you slide down and let everyone else slide down." This went on a few times and then he tried to kick Mia in the face! I said, "We don't kick and YOU don't kick HER." I was really started to get irritated. I know he was just a little boy, but I wanted to fling him backwards down the slide. I know I am evil. His mom was no where to be found. So then that is when IT happened. He grabbed Mia's face and tried to push her off the stairs backwards! Again I wanted to fling him down the slide backwards. I resisted my urges and said, "Where is your mom?" He pointed at her. I said, "I suggest you go and stand by her before I drag you over there by your arm." He went down the slide and stood by his mom. I may have been growling or had fire or daggers shooting from my eyes when I told or yelled at him and that is why he moved so quickly. THEN...yes there is more. A cute little girl was running around playing and she fell. I didn't see what happened, but her mom went over to her and "the boy" was standing by her. Maybe he tripped her. I don't know, but the "the boy's" mom said to the girl's mom, "oh, he was just trying to help her up." When the girls mom sat down she looked and me and said, "I saw what he did and said to you too." We exchanged glances and the boy left shortly after.
I have never had to be in that type of situation before so I don't know if I handled it right or not, and maybe one day (I hope not) Mia will be the mean kid, but I hope I am paying attention so someone will not be blogging about the mean girl!

This is one of my fav pics of Mia. She looks so serious!

I have been so busy lately I don't have time to download pics then go through all the hoopla to get them onto the blog. You know between watching tv, napping, playing, playing on my computer, reading other people's blogs, morphing myself (and Jenny) into "celebrities" and eating at Chinese buffets I am so very busy. I have other pics to post, but I ate myself into tiredness at the Chines buffet tonight so they will have to wait. I am sure I am keeping you all in suspense, but until then....

I have a teaser for you....
at the play land at the mall a little boy tried to kick Mia in the face and push her off the stairs to the slide by her face. What do yo think happened next?

A) I calmly asked the boy to stop
B) His mom was paying attention and reprimanded him accordingly.
C) Mia fell off the slide.
D) I said, "Where's you mom?" He answered, "over there." and pointed I said, "I suggest you go stand by her before I take you over there by your arm."

Make your guesses and I will post pics of said day and tell the entire titillating story.
