He Said Momma!

Okay, so he said momma a few weeks ago...sue me! LOL! I have been meaning to blog this for a while but I am sure everyone out there in the motherhood knows that "down time" is minimal. Anyway, I just love hearing him say momma. He says it with so much love. Side note: I am definitely aware of the fact that one day I will be saying, "That is not my name right now." (That is what my mother used to tell me whenever I kept nagging her. It was pretty hilarious). Hearing your child say momma is like the second right of passage into mommydom, with the first being the birth of your baby. I feel so priviledged and honored to be this child's mommy.

By the way, Desi is 9 months old now and he is starting to do some new silly and cute things. I'll look at Desi and say, "Munchie, give me kissy!" I will pucker my lips and make the kissy sound. He will click his tongue to mimic the sound! It is too cute. He has the biggest smile when he does it. I just love it. The other day, I was buckling him into his car seat and I swear he gave me kissy (clicking his tongue) without prompting. I was so excited and moved to tears. My baby knows what he is doing. Oh how he is growing!

Please mommies, tell me the moment your lovey said Momma and how it made you feel. Also, share what kinds of new things you saw your lovey do at 9 months of age.

Night, Night!

    I will never forget the first time you said Mommie to me. I now hear you say mommy, mom, mama and ma and they all have a special reason and meaning. My grandson will say them too and you will know the difference.

    Love, Mom

Who Are You My Beloved?

By
After watching a series of Iyanla Fix My Life episodes I felt compelled to write a post about who I am as a woman. Have I truly explored that question? Who is Aisha? I have all these parts that make up the whole but what is the whole? Let's break it down by the parts first. A part of me is: 1. A wife 2. A mom 3. A daughter 4. A sister These positions in life add to who I am. Now WHO AM I at my core? Here is what I am discovering: I am a woman who has a great deal of love and respect for Jehovah God. This is the biggest part of who I am. How I move in life, whether it be spiritually,  physically,  emotionally or mentally, is wrapped up in my relationship with Jehovah. I am a woman who cares about the well being of others and is moved to help where necessary. I do not like to be overbearing and I am very sensitive to others feelings. I am observant and intuitive. At times I can be proactive and at other times I can be reactive and I am okay with that. I am a woman that lo...

Let's Play?

By
I think I have lost my ability to play. Many times I wonder where my imagination has gone. I admire those moms that can think of myriads of play activities. I can't think of a single one. So when I say to Desi, "Wanna play with mommy?" When he says "yes" (sometimes he will say "no mommy") I am thinking, "okay what should we do?" I get slight anxiety. LOL! We'll run around and play with cars, but I'm not sure if that is enough. I guess I can google activities to do with a 1 1/2 year old, but shouldn't this come naturally? I don't know why this is an issue to be honest. I feel pretty silly even writing about it but I am hoping I am not the only one in the motherhood feeling this way.  Case in point, Desi and I were playing at the park the other day. He goes to sit down in the mulch and he says to me, "sit mommy, sit." I sit with him and start wondering what should we do. So I pick up two sticks and we have a stick f...

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...
