Mia's 1st School Project
Below is a shot of Mia making the hot chocolate, real Mexican hot chocolate which is slightly different and BETTER than American hot chocolate because it has a hint of cinammon. NOTE: 4-year-olds do not know how to drink hot chocolate despite being told - blow on it and drink it slowly. just wait until it cools completely. Also pictured is Mia with pan dulce (sweet bread/pastries) that we got from a great Mexican bakery close to our house.

Hot times at the Zoo
Mia certainly tried but was dragged down a bit by some Benedryl I gave her in morning because of some kind of lil rash she had on her legs. What was I thinking?! We'd never used Benedryl before because a. we never had to and b. when people said we should use it on planes rides to help her sleep they also said it sometimes makes kids wired and there was no way I was going to try something that could possible make Mia even MORE active! So, now we know - Benedryl makes Mia sleepy.....niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiicce to know!

Gymnastics girl
Monday, June 8, 2009
Let's try this again
It's summer which means lots of pool time! Just in the last two weeks a switch turned on with Mia and she's a swimming machine! She now jumps in the pool from anywhere possible, including the diving board, and then will swim to you. Very impressive considering she was literally kicking and screaming when we were off to swim class just 4 months ago. We're continuing on with swim class through the summer to help her with the actual mechanics of swimming. Mia's also now doing gymnastics while dance class is on summer break. Whew - she's always such the busy girl. Plus, she turned 4 in April so thinks she's quite the big girl now. Here's a shot of her/her friends at her Quinn's (girl to the left) birthday party.
Sweet Morgan is now 14 months and is trying her best to keep up with her big sister. It's funny how fast she can walk now - almost as if she's running from us many times. She, too, enjoys pool time and actually prefers that you hold her in a horitzontal position almost as if she's swimming. She just loves to be taken around the pool like that and keeps her mouth open most the time - we think she's looks like a little whale like that and we totally need to get a picture of her like that because it's pretty comical. She's most happy getting in to everything and is starting become quite the little bully. The other day Mia was standing on a step stool brushing her teeth and Morgan wanted on it to so she started pushing Mia and wouldn’t stop until Mia got off. Apparently, she’s also pushing her at other times during the day according to Yurika and is starting to walk up to her and grab whatever Mia or Olivia has/then will cry until she gets it. So basically - Morgan's hearing the word "NO!" a lot these days! Here's a shot of her at her little first birthday celebration - which we had at Lupe Tortilla's with just family...simple and nice!
