Mia & Bosco Halloween 2009 Mia Happy Little Flower

Mia realizing she just rolled over Mia in her Pumpkin outfit

Hello Everyone,

It has been a long time but I thought i would update our blog with the few spare moments I have today, so this month has been busy for starters Tanisha was sick with the flu for the first week and then we went to visit my family in Buffalo for 4 days had a wonderful time and was so happy to spend time with everyone and that Mia was able to meet her Grandma Val and Great Grandma Violet along with all her aunts, uncles and some cousins I am especially happy that Mia was able to meet her Great Aunt Susie who while we were there lost her fight with cancer but to know that she was surrounded by her family who loves her dearly is the greatest thing possible. We have lots of pictures from our trip but daddy still hasn't uploaded them so I will post those later. So when we returned home I ended up being diagnosed with the H1N1 virus which was so scary because I wasn't even that sick just a stuffy nose so I was put on medicine and told to wear a mask around Mia so that she wouldn't catch my germs, it was a tough couple of days but Caesar was a great dad and took extra care of our little one while I was in recovery, I'm all better now and Mia has not gotten sick (knock on wood) so I think we did a good job on keeping her safe. Thia past week was Halloween and we decided to go with a simple costume for Mia as she really didn't know what was going on and figured next year we can go all out in a costume. She slept through most of the trick or treats but was able to enjoy a little fun at our neighbor Lisa's party that she hosted afterwards. Here are some pictures of Mia oh yeah by the way she is 5 moths old, 16.3 lbs, and 26 1/2 in long, She is rolling over on a regular basis and boy does she have fun with it, also she's eating baby food 2-3 time a day along with her formula she's getting so big it's scary. So see for yourself

Last Beach Trip 2009

Hello Everyone,

So we went to the beach last weekend with Katie, Ramon, Bill & Julie (Katie's parents) and had a wonderful time. Bill & Julie spoiled us with great food, good company, and tasty beverages. The last time we went Mia was a little to young to go into the pool so this time she was able to test the waters out and she loved it, I think it reminded her of an oversize bathtub which she loves tubby time. We ended up getting in around dinner time on Friday and left late Sunday evening so we had a solid 2 days for fun in the sun. Saturday we went down to the beach but the lifeguards started clearing it after they heard a thunder storm was on it's way to bad it didn't hit until 1 am that night but Sunday was beautiful, we went to the bay side and hung out in the sand and then went up to the pool after Mia was done with her 3 hour nap (that never happens) I think the fresh salty air and sound of the water was just so relaxing for her, maybe we should move to the beach. Well anyway here are some pics we wanted to share with you, hope you enjoy. Forgive me on how this is setup but I'm not good at designing a blog page

Mia's crazy look

Hello All,

Just wanted to give you some updated pictures of Mia and let you know how she is doing. So we had to take her to the doctors a couple weeks ago for a cold that we thought she had but after a long hard 10 days of no sleep we took her back and found out that she more then likely has a milk allergy so we have started using soy and the past 2 days she has been doing great almost sleeping through the night and her congestion is slowly going away. After growing up around babies I never realized how much they drool and i can say now that Mia is a drooling machine Sok our daycare provider said yesterday that maybe she's starting to teeth (sp?) I can't believe that she's only 3 months old I feel like she's growing so fast and she's also 13 lbs already, she is an eater just like her mommy. So here are some pics of our beautiful little angel.

Mia's 1st Day at Daycare

So yesterday was Mia's first day at daycare and daddy dropped her off in the morning and caught some great pictures of the group. Mia and Soc (daycare provider)

We decided to go with an at home daycare as we felt she would get more one on one attention that she needs at this stage of her life so upon recommendation of our great friend Kelly we chose Soc who actually takes care of her son Tanner who has been a great help and protector of Mia, it's so cute to see him with her. Tanner playing w/ Mia along with Maddy and Soc

So i picked her up after work and she did great at daycare, had a lot of fun and was able to get some tummy time in through out the day. I hope today will be a little easier for mom and dad seeing she was well taken care of yesterday and took so well to her new surroundings.

We will keep you posted. Love, Us

Baltimor Aquarium

So we went to the Baltimore Aquarium on Friday and had a wonderful time. We left the house around 9:30 which i think was the earliest we have left the house since Mia was born and headed out to Baltimore, we got there around 11:30 of course Mia slept the whole way. Once we got there we went right to the aquarium we had tickets for the dolphin show which was very educational and fun as you know i love dolphins so i thought it was great. We walked and explored the rest of the aquarium then headed to the 4-D water Immersion Show I had to feed Mia during this which was a mistake because the seats were vibrating and things poking out at us on the seats and floor this was pretty cool. After the aquarium we walked around the harbor and stopped to eat dinner then stopped by to watch the street performer who I guess had been performing here for years, he was pretty good. Then we headed home around 8pm so it was a very long day but all of us had a great time.

Finally Here She is, Mia Tristin

Hey everyone I'm so sorry I haven't been updating the blog but as you know I have had my hands full for the past 8 weeks. I want everyone to know that Mia is perfect and the best little girl in the world and i can't wait for everyone to meet her. Mia Tristin Palacios was born on may 25, 2009 weighing in at 8.1 lbs and 20 inches, she is currently 8 weeks old and weighs 11.9 lbs and is 22 1/2 inches. I have posted some pictures of her from newborn to current. Becoming parents is the best and also hardest thing Caesar and I have done to date but are loving ever single moment of it and are so excited for what the future brings in watching our baby girl grow up it seems she is changing every day and we can't get enough of her. We took a family trip to the beach this summer and she absolutely loved it so we already know she will be a sun bunny just like her mom, she went on a tour of George Mason University with her big sister/cousin Tanisha as that is where she will (keep your fingers crossed) be going to school in 2010, and we are taking her to the Baltimore Aquarium this Friday so we have been pretty busy with life the past few weeks. Grammie Pat was her when she was born and spent a week with her and helped mom and dad out which was a life saver and we love her for that and hope to see her soon, Aunt Rachel came down to visit and spent some snuggle time with Mia and Aunt Kerry came to visit also to meet her first niece bearing gifts especially one that she will carry with her for a lifetime, Kerry made a beautiful scrapbook from when Mia was in my belly and decorated pages for me to fill in as she grows. We are hoping to come and visit Nana Val, Uncle Ron, Great Gram, Aunt Patty and cousin Jeremy and the rest of the family sometime in October before the snow comes. Well that's all I have time for now as Mia needs to eat and I promise I will keep the blog up going forward. Thank you to all our family and friends and hope to see you all soon. Love Us.

May 21st

Update from yesterday we had another sonogram done just to make sure her fluids were on level and according to the doctor she is top of her class. The tech was nice enough to try and take a picture of her face and this is what we got, it's hard to tell as she's pretty smooched in there but the 2 pics above is a full face shot. Enjoy

hello everyone I'm sure you're all curios as to what has been going on and I can tell you not much, our little bundle of joy has not yet decided to join us but we did find out yesterday that right now her birth date will be May 27th if she doesn't come sooner so please keep your fingers crossed that she decides to arrive this weekend. I know many of you have called and emailed and may not have received an answer back and I'm sorry for that it's just I am absolutely exhausted, still working (by choice) and finishing up last minutes things. We really appreciate all your thoughts and excitement and will let you know as soon as she arrives. Love us
