A Trip To Hancock!

On February 21st Mia went to Hancock, Pennsylvania with her mommy and daddy for a weekend of yoga and meditation and everybody was absolutely in love with her! We stayed on a charming Hotel that is 100 years old! Our little daughter ate on a high chair for the first time and had so much fun!

A trip to Hankock!

Mia is 7 months!

Mommy and Mia talking in skype with Daddy

The love of our lives is 7 months now and she is a delicious baby! So smart, happy, cheerful and mellow :) She is sleeping much better: goes to bed at 7:30pm, wakes up at 10:30pm, than at 1:30am and than...only at 8:30am! Well, at least in the last week has been like that. (sssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....knock on wood)
Mia loves to eat solids! And she had already rice baby cereal, carrots, sweet potatoes, butternut squash, pumpkin, green beans, bananas, oatmeal baby cereal and apples! (all pureed, of course!)
Her daddy went on a medical conference for 1 week and she missed having dinner + taking a bath with him...She loved to see his face and hear his voice in our skype conversation! Mia is commando crawling very quickly now and she follows her mama in the bathroom, in the kitchen, everywhere! We have to start baby-proofing the house because she absolutely loves wires, cables and plugs! Oh, and she learned how to open drawers also...but she also understands the word NO now...not that she really cares about it, but at least she stops and stares at mommy...than continues doing what she was doing...Oh, well...
Also Mia became a social butterfly! Every tuesdays and fridays she has play dates with other babies and mommies at a local Brooklyn Library, on thursdays Mommy and Baby Yoga and play date afterwords, and mondays and wednesdays are open to visit other newborns :) We became part of a mom's meeting website and we know all the activities in our neighborhood! Yeah!

Happy Holidays and New Year!

A Snapshot of Mia during the Holiday Season

Our dear daughter had loads of fun and socialized a lot during this Holiday Season! She went to Christmas Parties, celebrated Hannukah and spent New Years Eve awake: She woke up exactly at midnight asking for her mommy's milk! Isn't she smart? How could she possible know that was the time for the toast! Cheers!

Mia Can Sit!

Mia sitting

Mia is 6 moths now and she has developed a lot on the last couple of weeks! Now she is sitting, eating solids (already had rice cereal, carrots pureed and also sweet potatoes!), commando crawls going after a specific toy and once she grabs that toy she moves it from one hand to the other, and Oh! she has one very sharp tooth coming out! (she has been bitting our fingers quite a lot!). Mia also was for the first time with a hired babysitter! We went to a dance peformance and she behaved very well from 7pm till 11pm! Well, she cried a lot because she still doesn't like to drink from the bottle, but in the end she could sleep...We are so proud and in love with our girl, it's fantastic! Every day she is prettiest and learning more!

This month was full of adventures! And Mia is not even 6 months yet! (in 9 days she'll complete 1/2 a year!). We had lots of brunch dates with friends; parties (a baby shower and a 2 year old birthday party!); clothing art — Yeah, Mia had her clothes painted by her mother! — and a real professional photo shoot! Our adorable little girl saw the snow for the first time ever and also ate with a spoon! She had breast milk with baby rice cereal and she loved it!

Our Mia is almost 6 months

5 Months Old. Back in NYC.

Mia back in NYC. Her first winter!

Mia turned 5 months on November 26th. Since we got back from Israel Mia went to the pediatrician and had her second round of immunization shots. The doctor said she is in the light and tall range and doing really well! We have been in a new adventure adapting to the cold weather, the new super light stroller, a new incredible rocking chair, and simply making a routine...At the beginning it was scary to go out in this cold, but after we got all the necessary gear including a great winter coat, winter clothes, hat, gloves and a Bumdle Me (gift from aunt Sueli) everything got much much better! Now we can go on having fun and strolling all around NYC again! So Mia went on her first baby shower: Our dear friend Samanta is having her second baby! Also Mia went with us to restaurants and behaved so well that we tried to take her to see our friend Gustavo perform with his jazz trio...but it was during her fussy time and she only calmed down by the end of the show...Oh, well, maybe next time :)
