Oh, So That's How This Works!

Okay, so I am pretty new to this blogging thing. I have been wondering why I haven't had any traffic on my blog posts. I was starting to wonder if the whole world thought I was boring! Anyway, I figured it out.

My little bambino is 6 months old now! My how time flys! He is at this point where he is really clingy. I can hardly get anything done around the house. I am also having a problem getting him to sleep on his own. I often have to lay down with him and nurse him to sleep. I love nursing, but I would like for him to soothe himself to sleep. I have been given a pleathora of suggestions and have tried them. I really don't like the "cry out" method. Every baby is different and my son cannot handle crying it out. He looks so anxious when I just leave him in his bassinet or crib. I can't just ignore that. I have been reading what others think about it on the web and some say "cry out" is the best way to go. Others say it is cruel or it doesn't work. I don't think it is cruel, but I do think that it is not helpful for baby. I mean, a baby is used to being held. He has been held in the belly for 9 months. Why should that change now that he is out in the world? I know a child has to learn to grow in their own space, but I don't know about making him cry for long periods of time in that space. If anyone has any suggestions for me, I would greatly appreciate it. Please comment to this blog.
Okay, on another note, I was checking out this site that was promoting a book called "Prince Or Princess? Choosing Your Baby's Gender Before Conception." It was written by a midwife. I was actually discussing this very topic with 1 of my friends a few months ago. She swears by it! She tried it with her second and got her girl! It teaches you how to choose the gender of your baby. There is no medication involved. Everything is natural. This book goes over specific foods the mom-to-be should eat to have a boy or girl, it goes over different sexual positions that will produce a boy or girl, etc. It's a credible site. I plan to buy the book whenever my husband and I decide to have our second child (we would like a girl). Feel free to check out the site by CLICKING HERE .

Alright, I gotta go. Doodie calls! Sleep tight all.

The Warmth of the Snow

By
It was a cold and snowy Thursday morning. My icy cold hands fought to get Desi buckled up in his car seat. I gave him a kiss and headed over to my driver's side. I peered across the street and spotted this man walking his dog. I thought to myself, "He's pretty sexy." This overwhelming feeling comes over me and I revert to my school girlish ways. He approaches me with the warmest smile and I soon didn't feel so cold anymore. I am taken into his masculine arms and I am given a gentle kiss. We hold each other as the snow falls all around us. We gaze into each others eyes as we dance to "Down by the Bay" (songs in kid minor). LOL!  That moment with my husband meant so much. It was a rush rush kind of morning and to just take the time to embrace each other helps you to continue to remember the love you have for the one that was there before your child. Once you have a child, life tends to revolve around that little person. However, it is so important for t...

It's Bedtime!

By
I love the bedtime routine we have set out for Desi. He gets his bath and a good rub down. We say a prayer with daddy and we read 2 books. The first book is always "My Book of Bible Stories" and the second book is "The Snuggliest Snuggle in the World." I bought the second book for Desi when I was 3 months pregnant and I just knew and felt that it was going to be his favorite book. Mommy's intuition did not steer her wrong! He loves the book! He really gets into the voices I make for each character, we point out colors and animals. He will turn the page and when the story is over I say, "The end. Okay close the book Desi." He will, then, close the book. I tell him night night and we go over to the light switch. I tell him to turn the light off and he turns the light off. A moon is projected on the wall so we say goodnight to the moon and I turn on the heartbeat sound on the projector. He gives mommy a hug and I put him in his crib. He holds my hand unti...

Food War (Part Deux): Silent Treatment

By
Thank you all for the suggestions regarding Desi's dinner time. Your comments and what I've been reading online have really helped me calm down. Tonight, I approached dinner with ease. I made something I knew he would eat--fish sticks and tater tots. I added some succotash and cornbread. I set the plate down and we prayed over the food and I didn't say a word after that. He dove into the fish sticks and tater tots. He played in the succotash and didn't even eat the cornbread, but that's alright because he ate something. I gave him a cheese stick and strawberries after dinner. I praised him for eating and once again, did not stress over what he didn't eat. I was less stressed and so was he. I think that makes for a successful evening at the table! Is this war over? Only time will tell. You all may find interest in www.parenting.com . They have some cool tips and recipes for our picky kids. I also found this cookbook below. I think I am going to buy it. If I d...
