Rice Cereal in the Milk....Genius!

Okay, so maybe I should have done this a long time ago. He sleeps through the night! This may very well be my ticket to getting him to sleep in his own bed. No, he is still not in his own bed. I think I posted something about that a few months ago. It's coming soon though. I am not even gonna put pressure on myself. I got too many other things to think about. Anyway, I put like 1-2 tablespoons of rice cereal in 8 oz of milk and shake that bad boy up (the bottle not the baby) and Desi gulps it down. It also helps because he has been gaining weight. A month ago he had his 6 month check up and the doc said that he needs to gain more in calories. So he suggested I supplement with formula and give him solids. He is now drinking Similac (sensitive tummy) and mommy's milk (happy about that...still a little nipple envy there though). He is not really into solid food anymore because he is teething pretty badly. He is becoming my little cute chunkie monkie!

Baby boy is making some strides. Just tonight, it seemed as if he was trying to pull up and stand! He isn't even crawling yet. Shoot, he may walk before he crawls. He's growing up. It is definitely bittersweet.

Well goodnight!
 He loves that toe!

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...

Long Time

By
It has been a long time since I've blogged. To be honest, I kinda lost interest for a few months. I guess it may have been because no one was reading it. I just happened to look at it today and it sparked up an interest again. I realized how much I just really like writing. So to heck with it. I'm gonna write. I don't care if no one will ever read it. With all that said, let's talk about motherhood. Desmond is 1 1/2 years old! He is busy as ever. He loves playing outdoors, especially in the rain. He says,  "Outside Mommy! Pay, I want pay!" Now who can say no to that? Oh! Wait Wait! I gotta share this first before I go any further. Two days ago, I came home with Desi (after picking him up from daycare). We walked in the house and he greeted our dog as usual. Then he yelled "D-A-A-D-Y!" I told him daddy wasn't home yet. He looked at me and said, "baketball?" How did he know that? Yes, my husband was out playing basketball. But how did h...
