Mia's Life

Happy Birthday to my sister

2010-05-01T17:18:00.001-04:00

Given the new arrival in the family, I have agreed to allow my parents, on the suggestion of their friends, to move MY blog to a new spot so that my new baby sister can join me in my blogging adventures. Find us at http://miaandemme.blogspot.com

Dodger Day 2010!

2010-03-08T00:41:00.002-05:00

So mom took dad for his 37th bday to dodger stadium for a personalized tour from top to bottom. What an incredible day!

Lunch at the Museum

2010-03-06T23:57:00.002-05:00

Always a fair eater when there is competition.

DINOSAURS!

2010-03-06T23:51:00.002-05:00

We went in to visit Dinosaurs. We are lunch at the museum as well. Good times.

Sleeping over

2010-03-06T23:48:00.002-05:00

I got pretty comfortable at Auntie Lindsay and Uncle Will's house, calling their basement "my room". Here Liam and I are having a sleepover.

In the Tub

2010-03-06T23:45:00.004-05:00

If you were to review this blog, you would notice more than on more than one occasion I am in the bathtub with Liam. Well, surprise surprise, here we are again...

My Visit to Liam

2010-03-06T23:42:00.001-05:00

So last weekend I went to visit Washington DC and my BFF Liam. There are a number of posts of us being silly. First up, the train...

Tutu and Butterfly Wings

2010-02-15T23:39:00.002-05:00

What can I say?

Tent time

2010-02-15T23:37:00.002-05:00

My cousin Eva came over to play and celebrate the presidents. We enjoyed the warm sunshine.

Crazy Outfit and Outdoor Play

2010-02-15T23:34:00.002-05:00

So I got a tutu this weekend that I am calling my valentine (my parents are still trying to figure out why and I am not telling). Here I am kickin it with Nacho.

Playing the "banjo"

2010-02-15T23:26:00.004-05:00

I don't really understand why they call it a bass. I insist on calling it a banjo. Oh, and sorry east coasters, it was really that nice and sunny this weekend. 75+ temps. Come visit!
p.s. i was finger painting before I started to play the bass and that is why I have green legs

We have proof - its not always sunny in SoCal

2010-02-15T23:22:00.003-05:00

I got a chance to use my raincoat and boots. I like splashing in puddles when I can find them...

Inspired by Ladybug Girl

2010-02-15T23:18:00.002-05:00

I sometimes have to be coaxed into washing my hair. Maybe its because it now is two steps, shampoo and conditioner. Boo. Anyway, they tricked me this time by having me re-enact the last page of Ladybug Girl and Bumblebee Boy. It was fun.

Ice Cream at Ghiradelli's

2010-01-17T22:03:00.001-05:00

I don't eat much, but give me a bowl of ice cream and I will show you how to put it away.

2010-01-17T22:02:00.000-05:00

Me and Baby Gabe

2010-01-17T22:00:00.001-05:00

The best thing about San Francisco conferencing with mom, hanging with baby Gabe.

lotion

2010-01-17T21:59:00.003-05:00

Mocos have made my skin dry. I have a hard time not using my sleeve to rub them across my face. Lotion is the best. Here I am applying lotion while waiting to take off and head to San Francisco.

Churros!!

2010-01-17T21:57:00.001-05:00

Went with dad and mom and zeidie to Alvara Street and discovered Churros. Yum.

Bath with Baby Eva

2010-01-17T21:53:00.002-05:00

I love my cousin. She is funny and spending time with her is one of the benefits of moving to CA.

Nacho

2010-01-17T21:49:00.002-05:00

Hello all. Nacho has not made the blog in awhile so I thought I would post of couple of him doing what he does best...

Santa visited and brought presents

2010-01-12T00:05:00.002-05:00

So I had mom tell Santa we were sleeping at gammas and he found me! here are Eva and I in front of the tree.

Chillin with the little tree

So my house had a tree too. Here I am, enjoying it.

Decorating the Christmas tree

We did a lot of decorating the week before Santa came. Here is the tree at gamma's house!

Gingerbread House

2010-01-11T23:47:00.001-05:00

Auntie Joy came to LA and we made a gingerbread house. FUN STUFF!!

Horses at Will Rogers

2009-11-29T23:27:00.002-05:00

The beauty of California is that you can see the ocean while hiking in the mountains. On a mid-70's sunny day, we headed up to Will Rogers (10 mins from grandma's house) and visited the horses.

I give thanks for all the giving - more potatoes please!

2009-11-29T23:21:00.002-05:00

Its been a long time but here we go blog readers...

Liam is crazzzy

2009-05-17T21:19:00.003-04:00

So i laughed at Liam when he accidentally fell into the bath but then he took it to the next level and really impressed me with his mad under water splashing skills.

splash it and smash it!

2009-05-17T21:17:00.002-04:00

bath time continued!

2009-05-17T21:15:00.001-04:00

Baaaattthhh tiiiiimmmmeeee!

2009-05-17T21:13:00.003-04:00

what else can i say? Way too much fun, i am really going to miss this.

Some more chillin'

2009-05-17T21:06:00.004-04:00

Not only did i enjoy hanging with Liam during the after party, dad gave me the opportunity to take my first ever SLR photo, i pressed the button and everything - note the picture with mom!

Chillin' with Liam

2009-05-17T20:58:00.002-04:00

Sixers game

2009-04-11T08:08:00.002-04:00

Hail

2009-03-29T20:44:00.001-04:00

Thank goodness we got home before this started....

Baltimore

2009-03-29T20:31:00.002-04:00

My first sleepover

2009-03-29T20:28:00.001-04:00

The parents went out to celebrate auntie Lindsay's 30th birthday and we hung out with babysitter Erin at my house. They had us in separate room (what did they think we were going to do) but I loved waking up and hanging with my bestest friend Liam.

Me and Tova at the zoo

2009-03-23T13:22:00.003-04:00

So last week my village mama Anne invited me and mom to join her and Tova for some Philadelphia zoo action. The gorillas liked us...

Please Touch The Babies

2009-03-14T20:30:00.002-04:00

I got some good practice in for taking care of a little baby sibling (hint hint mom and dad). I checked it's fluids, looked under the hood and kicked the tires for a pressure check - all in all, it was a great experience.

Please Touch The Slide

2009-03-14T20:28:00.002-04:00

Lately, i've taken to the wonderful world of slide riding and it just happened that the Please Touch Musuem had the perfect sized slide for small time enjoyment. I slid down over and over and over and over again.

Please Touch The Ducks!

2009-03-14T20:26:00.002-04:00

Mom and dad took me to the please touch museum and again i had a blast - i can't get enough of this place - Thanks Uncle Will and Aunt Lindsay for giving us their passes.

Making Breakfast is Easy

2009-03-14T20:22:00.002-04:00

Making breakfast is soooo easy even i can do it - and as you can see, i can also multi-task by answering the phone while holding an egg.

my out of control hair

2009-03-11T09:04:00.002-04:00

So my mom is not going to cut it but the hair is a little unruley. I am also, not always super cooperative about putting it up. My mom decided today to see how much of it fits in pony tails. She sent me to daycare looking like I should be in the mummer parade.

Sledding

2009-03-02T20:39:00.002-05:00

So I am getting my east coast in while I can. Liam's parents had a sled and so we walked down to the park at Kelly Dr. and had a go of it. Nacho loved to try and cut us off. He is sleepy now.

snow gear fun - inside

2009-03-02T11:11:00.003-05:00

So even when its not time to be outside, playing with outdoor gear can be lots of fun!

Snow Day

2009-03-02T10:56:00.002-05:00

It is the second day of March but its a snowy one. What a storm we have got blowing through here. This morning mom and I joined dad as he took Nacho out to the park. I thought the swing were more interesting so that is where I spent my time.

Troy, NY and Simsbury, CT weekend

2009-02-26T21:49:00.002-05:00

We had a very good time hanging with Auntie Erin in Troy. I loved her cats Pumpkin and Stuie. I am not sure why Pumpkin thought if he did not move I would not notice him but I did my best to torture Stuie who was much more receptive to my need to pet him.

We took a day trip to visit Auntie Shayna and my cousins/new BFF Julia, Claudia, Ben, and Nico. Okay, so although Nico and I are basically the same age, we were not the closest. Bu that Ben. Oh Ben. And big sisters. who can beat it? I think mom would move us there if it were a little sunnier...

Jumping on the Bed

2009-02-15T20:16:00.001-05:00

So this is a re-enactment for Lindsay who was working as a nurse instead of working at our house carrying boxes. The first time around I was having a lot of fun. I did not want to do it again however. They made me do it anyway.

Worn Out

2009-02-15T20:14:00.001-05:00

Child labor is illegal people. Liam and I are taking are union guaranteed milk break.

Big Boy Shoes

2009-02-15T20:11:00.002-05:00

I do believe that these are a bit to big for me sir. Do you have them in a smaller size?

Valentine's Day

2009-02-15T20:10:00.001-05:00

I do believe they have been keeping this frosting stuff away from me for a reason...

Packing Boxes

2009-02-15T20:06:00.002-05:00

So we are beginning the process of "de-cluttering" so that we can sell our house and move to CA. I prefer to direct and make grandma, mom, and dad do all the work.

The Great Escape

2009-02-15T20:03:00.002-05:00

I do believe that I have been caught. Darn, guess i have to put my clothes on...

Chillin on the Saturday morning

2009-02-15T20:00:00.001-05:00

So the weekend mornings are a slow start in general; my mom and dad like to pretend that they can still sleep in. So I drink my milk, eat some cheerios, and watch a little Sesame Street to placate them. This weekend was a treat because grandma is here!

A House of my Own

2009-02-09T13:00:00.002-05:00

Okay, mom can't find the exact title of this great book she remembers from her childhood about finding hiding places just to get some time to yourself (its at grandma's house). But I have found that place...

Reading on the Pot

2009-02-09T12:59:00.003-05:00

I have decided that I don't like the "potty" without pants on but I sure get how its a good spot for reading.

Bath time with Baby Gabriel

2009-02-09T12:57:00.002-05:00

So I am busy sharing my bath. This time, it was with baby Gabe. He may be younger than me but he is loads of fun. What a good splasher!

Mia and Liam sitting in a tree!

2009-01-19T17:40:00.002-05:00

The video says it all. How they can be so cruel and move me to CA I don't know.

First Snow of 2009

2009-01-19T17:24:00.002-05:00

Yup that's right folks - we had our first real land fall this weekend. Nacho and i hit the park and had a big time snow ball fight (he won).

Train to San Jose!

2009-01-19T17:21:00.002-05:00

Following the Pony rides we went a short train ride around Griffith Park.

Griffith Park Pony Rides!

2009-01-19T17:17:00.003-05:00

So while in LA mom and dad took me to the Griffith Park Pony Rides. Dad said this was a right of passage for all (and soon to be) eastside kids! Thanks to Zadie and Sam and Charlotte for the support.

Ride em' giraffe!

2009-01-19T17:14:00.002-05:00

Grandma gave me my first rolling Giraffe for xmas. Took me a few days to get the hang of it, next stop - drivers license!

swimming with the fishes

2009-01-19T17:11:00.003-05:00

Everyone should have a fish purse, very trendy for 15 month olds in LA. I am so trend setting with my fish purse.

Christmas

2008-12-31T19:40:00.002-05:00

I get a little of every holiday. Chrismakah?

Hannukah

2008-12-31T19:38:00.001-05:00

I lit the menorah. I sang on this night. Thanks Zadie.

Playing with Tova

2008-12-31T19:35:00.002-05:00

My mom fept trying by Tova and I made a pact that we would not look at the camera at the same time.

Baby its Cold Outside

2008-12-31T19:33:00.002-05:00

This is after they made me hypothermic and before they got me my own gloves...

The Big Guy in Red

2008-12-31T19:30:00.003-05:00

Let's just say that I did not take to the jolly fellow like I had in years past. However, Gabriel did. So at least some parents that day got their photo with Santa. My parents tricked me into it. Thanks to Urban Saloon for proving the big guy.

taking on the stairs

2008-12-31T19:28:00.003-05:00

To my parents displeasure, I have taken to climbing the stairs. Basically, this means they have to watch me. Sorry guys.

My friend Brock turns 1!

2008-12-31T19:21:00.002-05:00

I went to my friend Brock's birthday/moving to Texas party. Remember your roots my friend!

Spooooooon! The Movie Part 2

2008-12-07T21:01:00.003-05:00

Spooooooon! The Movie Part 1

2008-12-07T20:56:00.003-05:00

Spooooooon!

2008-12-07T20:51:00.003-05:00

Today i took a huge step forward in my young development - i used a spoon! and Mom and dad were so proud of me. I'm still getting the hang of this, hence the yogurt all over my shirt.

My New Word - Duck

2008-12-02T21:54:00.002-05:00

Yes, i have a new obsession and it's with a yellow duck - i like my ducky and it likes me back. I can say "duck."

It's that time of the year

2008-12-02T21:52:00.002-05:00

So mom introduced Dad to the wonderful world of the Advent Calendar and now Dad has passed on this holiday tradition to me. Can't beat eating a a piece of chocolate a night for the next 24 nights - yummmm!

Swimming with Seamus

2008-12-02T21:48:00.001-05:00

Cousin Seamus was nice and patient enough to take me for a dip in the awesome hotel pool - Dad stood on the sidelines and coached me on - i think we might be onto something here, can someone say swim team?

Cederbaums in Boston

2008-12-02T21:45:00.002-05:00

Adam and Karen were totally nice enough to entertain the entire Cederbaum clan for the long Boston weekend.

Children's Museum, Boston

2008-12-02T21:37:00.003-05:00

So after a wonderful evening at Alyson and Kevin's house in New Hampshire, Mom and Dad drove us down to Boston to hang with the Cederbaum clan - New England style. We spent a good part of the morning post Thanksgiving at the Children's Museum. I got to spend some quality time with my cousins Andrew, Lila and Aiden. We all sized eachother up and and tackled the joys of childhood, we played and played and played some more. An incredible time all around.

Thanksgiving 08' New Hamphisre

2008-12-02T21:31:00.002-05:00

I big shout out and thanks to Alyson and Kevin for allowing me to hang (with mom and dad too) at their house in Exeter New Hampshire and with the always awesome Eberherdt clan - and an even bigger shout out to Grandma - she showed me the light with the goodness of Sutter Home wine, ohhhh the sweet rose colored intoxication of life.

Go LA!!!

2008-12-02T21:29:00.001-05:00

I know that this isn't the most flattering picture of me but i have to post it regardless - can't help but show my LA pride.

Walking some more

2008-12-02T21:25:00.003-05:00

This walking thing is pretty cool and i can even stand up and walk from a sitting position. With some practice and according to the Denver Chart, i should be walking backwards in no time at all.

I can Walk Take 1

2008-12-02T21:21:00.001-05:00

Just to prove it to everyone - we have video of me walking and talking for the first time.
