So, not too much new, just that Mia is getting cuter and cuter! ha ha :) Just thought I would share that my mother in law bought number 3 diapers and put Mia in one today and it fit! I will finish the last of my number 2's and start with the number 3's! They start I believe at 16 pounds, so I am assuming Mia is over 16 pounds now. She doesn't have a 5 month checkup this month. Her five month birthday is next week, I cannot believe it!! I am going to weigh her myself and measure her length. I am curious and need to keep up with my baby books!
Also, I am going to introduce Mia to a new fruit most likely tomorrow, May 25th. I didn't change the bananas after 5 days. I do not want to rush Mia with new foods. I want her stomach and gut to adjust well to each new thing and just think waiting a bit longer before we introduce something new cannot hurt. So, she's been on bananas I guess for over a week now. I think I am going to start peaches tomorrow. I'll keep you posted on how it goes! She has been loving the bananas.
As far as what she is doing these days, let's see.....she is just so much more interactive and observant. She seems to cry if there are strangers who talk to her or just get very close to her. This has been happening for a few weeks I guess, but now it is obvious that she is starting to know her mommy and daddy and is a bit unsure of new faces. So amazing. If there are too many people who she does not recognize, she sort of stares at them expressionless, and we know that the pouty face will follow. Then, the pouty lip comes and then the crying. It's actually so cute. I just reassure her that I am there and this seems to help, sometimes. :):)
She LOVES her rainforest bouncy/exersaucer. She is really getting the hang of it and kicks of simultaneously with both feet and shoots straight up. It's so cute! She loves it. If I dance in front of her, she goes nuts and kicks and dances with me!
I worked today. The first weekend day I have worked since Mia is born. I have only worked weekdays since I started on April 7th. Giacomo had some good bonding time with his girl. They went to Sports Authority, Espositos Deli, the car wash where Mia watched all the machines and water, and then they visited Giacomo's friends house. They have a 1.5 year old little girl, soon to be a playmate for Mia. So overall, I think this was a good day for daddy and his peanut. I got home about 2ish and had most of the day to see them. I can now enjoy the rest of the holiday weekend relaxing, etc.
Anyway, that is about it for now. Mia is getting too damn big. I guess I would be happy if she stayed just the way she is now. She is so cute. Guess it doesn't work that way, does it? She is just such a pleasure day and night. We are eating her up and enjoying every minute. I should mention she is still doing well with the sleeping. She goes in about 8-9 and wakes about 4-5 for a bottle and then right back to sleep until 8ish. This is the basic routine she follows pretty much every night. There are exceptions, but this seems to be the norm. We are happy about this and that she is doing just what she should be for her age. We are hoping by 6 months she goes in about 7-8 and gets up around 6-7. This would be ideal, but heck, I'm NOT complaining. I remember the early days and this is heaven.
I posted some pics of her the past week. Hope you enjoy them.
Talk to you all soon.
The Bellomos :):)
