Press Rewind

By
Did someone just hit the fast forward button on my life? I cannot believe this year is almost over and my baby will be 1 soon! What is that? Can someone just press rewind? Seriously! LOL! I am so not ready for my little baby to grow up. Okay I know he is only turning 1, but I am going to miss my little teeny baby that I could just cuddle without protest. I guess it has to happen some time, huh? It's definitely a bittersweet reality. I am excited to see his growth, but I am going to miss him being solely dependent on mommy.

Alright, no more sappy talk. It's been a while since I have blogged. My baby boy is doing all kinds of things now!  Desi will be 11 months on Dec. 7th. He is developing into an adventurous, curious, observant and social little boy. He is not walking just yet, but he pulls up and cruises from one piece of furniture to another. He turns the lights off and on and points to the light when asked. He rubs his belly when asked, "where's your belly?" He makes a monkey sound when we ask, "What sound does the monkey make?" He mimics our dog. He tried to pull his pants up today when I was dressing him! I thought that was wild (no I am not exaggerating. He actually tried to pull his pants up!). He says doggie, mama, dada, banana, and bubble. He trying to say other words as well. He identifies objects when we ask where they are. He opens and closes books and turns pages (he LOVES story time). When Desi and I are at the sink he puts his hands together to wash his hands. Man, I can go on and on. I hope I got everything. It's amazing to see him doing all of this. He is just soaking his environment in and myself and my husband love educating him on what he sees and experiences.

I am so proud of my little baby and I am so proud to be his mommy. I love this job! Okay, I am going to try to post another blog soon. I just wanted to share those beautiful milestones with the motherhood. Please share your stories with me.

Night Night!

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...
