Mia is 5 months! I am so happy:) She is changing so much everyday. I am noticing how she is more coordinated in general. Those little hands are really trying to grab things now. She is really starting to study the different activities on her exersaucer and understand how they work. Her little hands roll this plastic funnel thingy with beads in it that make noise. It is so cute to watch her learn what to do. She is just so much more focused on the task at hand and really pays attention when you talk to her. I am making sure I speak slowly and repeat things now so that she can learn easier. She is also making new sounds as of about a week now. She squeals in delight and holds it for a long time. It's hard to explain, but it so so darn cute! It sort of goes like this...eeehhhahhhhhhohhhhh....lol. Well, not quite, but you get the point. She also makes this hysterical gasping sound all the time. It is usually when she is quite content and smiling, then comes the serious sucking in sound as her eyes squint as she does it. It seems like it would be annoying to do, but she seems to like making this sound. She is so funny when she does this, because she makes quite the face! She had her cousin Olivia and I cracking up the other day when she was doing this. She is also stronger in general. Changing her diaper is more difficult as she kicks and squirms out of my grasp a lot easier. I noticed this just about a week ago. I also started putting her in the bathtub, not alone, still in her little tub, but in the tub. At least when she kicks those legs like mad, I don't get as much of a bath myself anymore. I just started giving her a bath this way the last 2 times.
Oh, yes, Mia is destined to have curls. The little hair she does have is falling out a little in the back, and if I am seeing correctly, it appears that the new hair coming in is not straight! lol. BIG SURPRISE. I cannot wait to see her with a head full of curls. It's bound to happen, just a matter of time!!
We are leaving for Cape Cod tomorrow. I have been packing for the past 2-3 hours and I am still not finished. Giacomo and I packed most of our things, I just have to finish packing for Mia in the morning. We are leaving about 10ish, so I will have a busy morning. I am very happy to be getting away. We'll see how Mia does in the car. It's about a 6 hour drive. I know we'll have a great week. I am looking forward to not worrying about cleaning, laundry, yada yada. I have my mom to help and then I'm grabbing a good book and reading away! So, I'll let you all know how the trip went as soon as I get back. :):)
Here are some pics from the past week including today, Mia's 5 month birthday. She was more interested in ruining my sign that I had her hold than staying nice and still. I guess those days are over! You can see in the pics I have posted.
We are so in love with her and she is sure getting better and better everyday...never thought it could, but it does! Happy 5 months of life peanut! We love you!
One more thing, I posted a quick video of Mia on here. I believe it's at the bottom. I didn't know I could do this. If it comes out ok, I will continue to post more. There is nothing like video. I wish I posted more video before, as I always take video and still pics of her. So, hope it comes out ok. If it does, I'll keep 'em coming!
Talk to you when we get back on June 6! Ciao!
The Bellomos :):)
