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!

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...
