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...

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...

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...
