April 6, 2011 9:00pm... Our little girl came into this world. Perfectly 7lb 4oz and 18 1/2 inches.
Mia Angeline Santilena
Mia="My" Angeline="Angel"
Charlie and I didn't argue on the name because we've always said if we have a little girl her name will be Mia. We are so lucky to have named her Angeline, after grandma santilena. We hope that she can be kind, caring and joyfu
l person just like grandma was. We love her to pieces and her big brother Ian was so excited to have a little sister. I am so lucky to have her as my little girl. She is perfect in everyway. She is now sleeping through the night!!! {I'm so lucky!} She loves to smile and chat baby talks to everyone. Last visit to the dr. She wass 69% in height. 45% in weight. She is growing growing growing!!!! What I'm most amazed is her eyes are bright blue right now and I know it may change eventually but I can have a little hope right? How cool would it be if it stayed! I think I was meant to have a little girl... I love to craft! Now I can make all the hair accesories and make her tons of dresses.

Ian is now adjusted to having a little sister . He is so proud to be a big brother and loves his sissy to pieces. I constantly catch him laying down with her on the playmat playing and chatting. I am so proud of him. He graduated kindergarten at the end of May. He
received "high honor roll." Only 6 kids were chosen to be on the high honor roll from the kindergarten and he was one of them! He got 100% on all of his district assessment test and graduated with a perfect "o"= {outstanding} on his report card. I was so excited to see him standing up on the stage receiving this award. Can a mom be more proud of her son?! He just now started 1st grade. Today was his 3rd day back. He so far loves the big playground and the recess time with all of his friends. We had a lot of fun this summer. I tried fitting in everything possible since it was so short. {2mons, that's it} We took a really nice family vacation to Montana and Wyoming... which I will post it all on the next blogg. {We have so much to share} He also went to San Diego County Fair..[a.k.a Delmar Fair], OC fair, Beaches, pool, disneyland... etc. I tried my hardest to keep him off the couch and video games lol. I really enjoyed having him home with me all summer. He got to enjoy his time with his little sister and mama. As for Charlie and I, our everyday life changed 360. We went from having a routine with a 5yr old to adjusting to the infant schedule. I really thought having 2 kids was going to be a challenge but it's been really mellow and easy. I think having our children 5 years apart was the best decision for Charlie and I. I was able to have a one on one bonding time with Ian. I got to raise and teach and watch him grow. Now that he is in school all day. I get to have a one on one bonding time with Mia. I enjoy every moment with my children and I am so blessed to have them in my life.
