Mia and Roseola
Mia and Roseola
I believe it started on Sunday. A slight redness developed on her cheeks. By Tuesday, it spread ever so slightly to her arms. Today we saw a doctor who diagnosed it as roseola. It’s nothing serious. It seems to look worse than it is. Either way, Mia is staying home with me today.
Mia had her second set of immunizations on Friday. The occurrence of roseola after the shots appears to be coincidental, as the vaccines she was given wouldn’t normally produce a rash. She had a rough night last night - waking every two hours wanting attention and food. But today, at least for now, she’s in good spirits. If the rash gets better tomorrow, she’ll be able to go back to daycare.
This photo was taken on the night of November 16, 2010. It was taken after Mia took her bath. You can see a bit of the rash on her cheeks.

Mia and Wink
One of Mia’s favorite toys is the Winkel, or Wink as we call it. She just seems to like gnawing on the little sucker. She also can wave it around now and almost throw it - of course not on purpose. I was able to take a series of photos through the crib slats using the Canon 17-55mm lens.
The photo was taken on November 6, 2010.
Bonus!!!
It’s a video bonus! Enjoy.
Note: I am trying out Vimeo for videos. If you can comment, either on Facebook or here, on how the video loads for you, it would be helpful. I can then decide whether to stick with Vimeo or go with YouTube. A YouTube version of the same video is below.

Mia and The Pumpkins
It’s Mia’s first Halloween. We carved three pumpkins that afternoon - one representative of each of us. (The fourth pumpkin in the back is made of plastic.) Well, Farrah carved two of them. Can you tell which one I did?
We posed Mia in her pumpkin outfit next to the pumpkins as you see here. She looked over her shoulder, then back at us, then over her shoulder again. I’m guessing she wasn’t sure what to make of those “dudes” behind her who are dressed like her. Perhaps next year she’ll find pumpkins less suspicious.

- Reading “Where is Baby’s Belly Button?” to Mia this morning. Such a captivating, yet all too short, story. http://yfrog.com/eh1u9wj #
- Trying @rememberthemilk again as my GTD app. @appigo’s Todo just wasn’t working for me any longer. #
- The new Twitter website makes it easy to unfollow people. I just cleared my Twitter account, starting fresh. 97 down to 12. #
- I never met #mygrandma - either of them. #
- @danbenjamin Oh Dan, the Giants will put up a good showing in the World Series as well. #
- Nothing is going right today. #

Mia and the Pink Starbucks Doughnut
Is this a lollipop?
I blame Auntie Sarah for talking about Starbucks doughnuts last week. Of course on Saturday, during our regular coffee run, we had to try them. We chose the Birthday Cake Mini Doughnut. Before consuming the little doughnuts, we couldn’t pass up a photo opportunity with Mia and the doughnut (or donut if you prefer). Farrah placed the doughnut on the end of a chopstick. What you see here is the end result. I could have sworn she tried to take a bite of the doughnut, even though she doesn’t have teeth.

- Ordered and waiting for ‘Medal of Honor Limited Edition’ http://amzn.to/bTe9vd But will I have time to play it?!?!?! #
- There’s no reason to be asleep right now, right? So much can be accomplished at…3:30AM!!! #
- Getting ready to unpack the iMac which was delivered Thursday. Hoping there’s no damage or defects. Hate to deal with returns. #
Mia Takes a Bath
It’s bath time! Mia thankfully enjoys taking a bath. She’s always been calm when she’s doused with water. It sure makes bath time easier. I had to get down into the tub to get this shot with the 50mm lens.

- My daughter has just discovered her feet. She's acting like she's never seen them before. #
- Was thinking of upgrading iPhone since volume toggle broke. But hearing rumors of Verizon iPhone again makes me pause. Wait for next year? #
- Who has a 27" iMac? You love it? Hate it? #
- Reading @gruber more, I agree with what he says. CDMA iPhone doesn't necessarily mean iPhone Verizon bound. Bummer. #
- Finally got offered to view the new twitter.com web layout. I'm liking it a lot. #
- 1/2 the day done, but so much more writing to do. I guess my weekend is going to start later than I thought. #
Damn Commericals
(Video no longer available)
The Ford Edge 2011 commercial has placed Shayna Zaid & The Catch’s song “Morning Sun” deep in my noggin. I sing a bit of it to Mia, at least the hand-clapping opening part of the song.
Mia Making Faces
Mia channeling her inner Gene Simmons (not Jean Simmons). She was very active just before bedtime. She just started moving around, making faces, and discovering things in her immediate area. She looked at her feet as if it was the first time she saw them. Perhaps it was the first time she noticed them. Then of course she got a bit fussy because it was bedtime.
